This week's Merry Monday Christmas card challenge is to use black, gold, and silver.
I recently made a card with the smaller Tim Holtz sleigh stamp and wanted to do one with the larger one. So I heat embossed it in silver and smudged a bit of silver ink under it to ground the sleigh. For the gold part of the challenge, stars were the obvious choice - I used my new Falling Stars stencil with embossing paste and gold glitter.
I used a gold card base, a border of silver mirror cs, and repeated the gold cs in the sentiment tag which is attached with a silver brad.
The September challenge for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge is the chalkboard technique - this fits pretty well with the bit of silver smudged under the sleigh.

A sleigh ride on a starry night...romantic and a lovely Christmas card, Susan. I also like how you fit your sentiment into the attached oval...very creative....and very pretty.
