CCC(9) - KAREN P'S THEME - USE BLACK, WHITE AND ONE OTHER COLOUR

Well peeps - the blogger didn't schedule me post AGAIN!  This was supposed to post at 8.30am  - it's a good job I'm up early!!!

Good morning peeps - that is if the blog scheduler works, 'cos it didn't yesterday.  I hope you are all well and crafting as much as you'd like to.  I have been decorating supervising the decorating of the dining room, unfortunately I forgot to schedule my CCC card on my blog for Saturday.  This is so it doesn't clash with my DT card for One Stitch at a Time challenge.  This time Karen P chose our theme - make a Christmas card using Black and White plus one colour.  I chose green as my 'colour' and the only black I used was for the sentiment - which is actually dark grey 'cos me black ink is running out.  Ooops.

 Graham had a lot of trouble getting the white to look white, especially because I had used white pearlescent card.  He said he tried loads of times to sort it and also to get the glitter to sparkle (it does sparkle if you get close enough to it!!!).  I do understand, and know that he isn't the only one to have problems.    To see the glitter, it's best to open this in a new tab and then do a close up - then it sparkles and twinkles!!!  This is an aperture card so he also took a picture from an angle to show the inside.

I found the sentiment on a site where there were free verses etc and thought it was just the one I wanted for this card.  I was going to make a card using a stamp of a Christmas village but I've put it somewhere safe!!!!  I hadn't a clue what colour to use with the black and white until I decided to use an ivy corner - light bulb moment - use green!!!  Here are the ingredients -
