Christmas in silver and black

I do like working in black and silver. Something about this combo that says special holiday to me.
This week's Christmas card to add to my stash is destined for someone special.



We're back to the dreary days of winter again here in Scotland therefore the pics aren't that great. I've tried to reduce the glare a bit.
I followed the sketch over at Midnight Madness this week. MMSC#121
The silver embossing powder was added to with some purple glitter. this also gives a "distressed" look to it as well as some glitz when the light hits it.

Also used was matt black and satin silver card stock.

Black satin ribbon edged with silver lurex

flowers are snowflake sizzix die with little white flowers (coloured silver) in the centre

some lilac gems

The candle stamp is papermania

The swirl is HOTP

The base ink used was SU! whisper white

The pins are homemade using black glass beads and silver metal beads
