It's time for another card over at the Christmas Card club I belong to.
The theme for #9 was chosen by Karen P. and is
Black and white + one other colour.
I have had this stamp for ages but not used as have been totally unsure how to colour.
When I saw Karen's Theme I had a light bulb moment.
Why not use the stamp as is.
i.e black ink on white card so I did!
Another firing on all plugs moment cos then I thought
why not colour the ivy green so I did!!
I'm on a roll by now .
Why not add a strip of ribbon and some ivy leaves. so I did.
Then to finish off mount onto green card. so I did.
Stamp is by Stampendous 'Snowy Postcard'
I have it's sister stamp 'Train Postcard' as well.
Stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black.
Coloured using 'Pine ' Promarker pen.
Cut out using Spell binders 'Romantiuc Rectangle'
Britannia word dies for the sentiment.
Inside finished off to match.
I have some more C. Cards coming up. One for a new challenge just spotted
and Sarn's Rudolph Day.

I have this stamp as well and never thought of this colour green with it. It looks so pretty-really nice card
I saw this image last Christmas Mrs A and I fell in love with it. I must admit this is how I would have used it...Just stamped and not coloured, you have teamed it with a lovely green (my fav colour) I just love it. Debbiex
The stamp is one I'd love but not allowing myself to buy any new Christmas stamps until I have used every Xmas stamp I own at least three times lol!
Absolutely gorgeous Mrs A - your stamp and layout are fabulous! Karen x
This is a cracker Mrs A!! love that stamp and that green just makes the whole card pop! huggles Sue xx
I love this stamp Valery - and your card looks brilliant - fabulous! Hugs rachel xx
I love it when a card comes together like that, pity they don't always flow so easily, lol. I have this stamp and it is gorgeous. Love the die cut edging too.

Love your description of how all this came together. I have this stamp too...I think you must have made this just for me as it is already marked Canada in the bottom left! lol
Colouring the ivy was a brilliant idea!
I love this stamp and it's so pretty with the bright green!
Valery, I love what you did with this stamp. It's one I have and recently found the train one too. There's a neat video on Scrap Made Simple with another nifty technique, (if you're interested let me know). This is Uber beautiful. The green is so perfect with the vintage look of the postcard. TFS & Hugs
How gorgeous! Simple and very classy. The stamp is so lovely, it really doesn't need much help. You've done a truly fab job choosing green as your +1.
hugs, Asha
This postcard image is fabulous, and I love that pretty die cut you used! The green looks amazing and so pretty!

Hi there Mrs A - this is really lovely, you don't need much else with this stamp. I made a card using this one last year and did it in brown it is such a good stamp. I love the holly leaves on the corner edge as well. Brilliant.

I didn't know you had this stamp! I love it too, but don't have it as I'm not sure what I'd do with it. Every time I see a card using it, it looks lovely. Same on this occasion x
