Black and White Christmas (with a bit of pink!)

Ok so I thought I would try something different and hopefully get a few Christmas cards done in the process. I have made my own background using a snowflake from the Elusive Images sheet Snow is falling. I embossed them using my new NEC purchase of WOW embossing powders Christmas kit- I saw Sheena Douglas show them at Create and craft so I knew they were good. I used the Sparkling snow for everything in white. I found this particularly fun especially as this is what got me into card making in the first place - embossing.

The Christmas Tree was a freebie when I started subscribing to a crafting magazine and it is from Penny Black and called Starlit. I have used Spellbinders large and small rectangles and the Create a Flake 2 - pink pearlised card and white glitter card. I couldn't leave it just black and white though, I had to add some pink!!! The sentiment is from a Buzzcraft Fairy Doodles set.
