Black & White for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #214 on the 5th of December, 2024

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Black & White

I envisioned a silhouette of Santa flying past the moon with lots of snow! But my card is a little more than just black & white and is probably more blue than anything! Oh well, it was heaps of fun to make.

So, here is my card:

I stamped and die cut the penguins from Chill Winter Season, which was a Stamptember Exclusive from Simon Says Stamp and La-La Land Crafts. The penguin was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured with the following Copics pens:

• black - C5, C7, C9
• white - C00, C0, C1, 0
• turquoise - BG11, BG13, BG18
• red - R24, R46, R89
• orange - YR15, YR18, E13

I added White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops to the pompom and edging of the hat. As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up of the penguin before and after adding the Nuvo Glitter Drops:

The rest of the products I have used are all from La-La Land Crafts.

 I die cut the Santa Sleigh die from black cardstock, then the largest of the Double Stitched Arches die from a piece of the Winter Time Paper Pack. I also die cut the arch from black foam and attached it to the central arch. 

I adhered the die cut paper on to a white square card from Envelope Solutions and then adhered the popped up arch in the centre. I attached Santa over the moon and the penguin in the other corner.

I stamped the sentiment from Chill Winter Season using my MISTI and Nautical Blue Memento ink, them die cut it with the sentiment die from the set. I attached the sentiment with foam tape.

 Here is another photo of the card and a couple from the two sides:
