I recently discovered a new challenge blog that I thought was very interesting.
The two creative gals that created it pick a movie
every week for inspiration, fun huh!?!
So this weeks pick was
Miracle on 34th Street!
I love this movie, as most people do. Much like most remade movies I usually enjoy the original just a tad bit better then the new ones, although the remake was cute too. I am not sure why but things seem much more dramatic in black and white. When I was deciding my "take" on the movie I decided to make a black and white card. I started with my snow globe and put Santa's face in it, adding some stickle for snow. Then I created a night time snow scene, I love it in the winter when the snow is fresh and covering the trees, it doesn't look more magical then that!
Using my white gel pen I wrote in the word "believe", then I stamped some candy canes around the border. I made a snowflake on black cs background and cut it out, also added a bit of glitter. I never made a black holiday card before so this was fun to get it to look pretty not grim.
