For my non traditional colors for the January challenge I picked black and a white shimmer paper. The white shimmer paper is embossed with snowflakes and then edged in silver. Wanted to do something more unusual for this challenge (along with the color theme) so I used a song for inspiration and refreshed my mind on what I may have been missing in some Christmas lyrics. The song is "How I miss that Old fashioned Christmas". The inside of the card has all of the song lyrics in 12" font along with silhouettes of a boy and girl opening presents and a lite candle in a holder. The only other color in the card besides the black and white is the flame of the candle, a bright yellow. I made 14 cards today while the snow was falling!
The lyrics are as follows:
How I miss that old fashioned Christmas
Carols being sung by the tree
WindowÂ’s candlelight shining bright
For the whole world to see
ChildrenÂ’s eyes of sweet expectations.
Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas EveÂ’s of old
It used to be that all the family
Would gather for this one night
It used to be that special feeling shared together
Knowing Christmas was here one night a year
How I miss that old fashioned Christmas
Memories that last through the years
Call me sentimental, donÂ’t mind if you do
I wish an old fashioned Christmas to you!
