I started with a base of Basic Black and then stamped onto Whisper White. I cut my card out of the circle scallop from Sizzix. I stamped with Versa Mark and used Black ep. The image is from Inkadinkadoo. Look close at it as you will see several images within this image. I stamped some snowflowers (haha) using a Verve set from last years Christmas release. Sorry I can't think of the name of it. I love the snowflakes. I embossed the red one using a red glitter ep in my stash and put a red crystal in the center. I cut two small black ones and a red one for the side of the card but it detracted from the image so I didn't use them. The sentiment is SU and I had to put pearls on it. It seems anytime I make one of these round easel cards I have to put pearls or bling on the scallops. It looks bare w/o them. Then I used a ribbon from May's Art that is a sheer organdy/black and made a bow on my Bow Easy. This is for the Twisted Sister Challenge. If you would like to join us the challenge is to make a card any shape but rectangle or square, use three layers, flowers and an embellishment. I issued the challenge then only used two layers! I'm a Cheater on my own challenge!!

That is the most awesome Nativity scene ever -- it's just beautiful! I love it in the black and white - with just the red flower on the snowflake. Gorgeous round easel.

Wow, Sillyfilly! This is a stunning image you have on your challenge card!! Like Mrs Boz, I was fascinated looking at it with all the images woven into it!!! With the pop of the red snowflake and that beautifully flourished sentiment too, those pearls are making this look rich beyond compare!! Fantastic job!! Big Hugs!!!

I think it is brilliant how you took such a detailed image and captured it in black & white! I love the image and the pearl detailing is beautiful!
