This week it's been Black and White...

and I love the clear lines and simplicity of these cards.

I am always a bit unsure of using only black and white on a card but every time I pluck up courage I am pleased with the results...hopefully you will agree...but if you don't do let me know...I welcome constructive encouragement...ha ha!

I am also out of my comfort zone when using gold and silver together but I think it works.

My starting point for these cards were some sale items I bought on one of my trips to the UK. I saw the pack of silver and black Christmas trees and they were so cheap I couldn't resist them...

I have saved some for my card class...I am looking forward to the reactions for a monochrome card... my girls really like the traditional colours for Christmas...reds, golds,greens etc.

Trees: I think they are from The Range.
