Simply Saturday…simply Kinkade

Published by Julia Stainton at 6:29 am under Card Designs, Copics, Cornish Heritage Farms

A black and white Christmas card? Well…why not?! Black and white is elegance at its best and I just love how perfectly this new Thomas Kinkade image stamps. Gorgeous! Christmas Moonlight is the next TK release at CHF and will be available next Friday.As you can see I did break down and add the smallest hint of color. I love lighting up those windows with the smallest touch of yellow. Stamping doesn’t get much simpler than this. And while I hate mass producing cards…this is one I just might be able to do.

Winter Cottage

Stamps: Christmas Moonlight (Thomas Kinkade line) by CHF
Ink: Black Memento by Tsukineko
Paper: Simply Smooth white cardstock by CHF, black cardstock by Bazzill Basics
Other: ribbon by May Arts, Copic markers

Have a simply wonderful Saturday!

Beautiful! And if you wanted to add a sentiment in the white space below the water, Greetings, embossed in gold would look elegant. tfs

Hi Julia,

Very elegant, warm and inviting card. Makes me want to go inside and snuggle-up with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book! TFS

Well, I have to admit, when you said “Black and White Christmas Card”, I said to myself, YUCK….but I take it all back now, because this card is elegant, and you did a beautiful job creating it.

My apologizies for the uncalled for YUCK.
