Black Tie

I made a Christmas card for some challenges, one new one called Black Tie Fridays. I think the gist of it is that you have to use black in your project. Their challenge this week is to make something black and white and use a cut-out. I also took inspiration from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown - to use a Scripture verse on your card, and Order of the Opus Gluei - to make something 3-D. I finally had a reason to break out my pop up cards and cut-out words on my new Cricut Artiste cartridge! I gotta tell you, you can make some fabulous things with that cartridge!

Here is the inside:
Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy, Black
Stamps: Glory to God!, Chocolate Alphabet - Small
Ink: Cranberry, White Daisy
Other: Cranberry Grosgrain Ribbon, Red Glitz Glitter Gel, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Cricut Artiste Cartridge

    Oh, I think I need to make a purchase (I love my Cricut and am always on the lookout for reviews of versatility with a cartridge). This card has real impact, it's beautifully simple, classic and elegant all at once. Not easy to do and done wonderfully in your card. Thank you for playing with us at Opus Gluei, I hope you come back for more challenge themes.
