Working on some Christmas cards and decided to play along with the Anything Christmas challenge #3 with the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge blog. The inspiration board intrigued me with the black and white plaids and the hints of red.
Using my The Crafters Workshop buffalo plaid stencil, I inked and die cut a section of the panel, stamped my GKD Christmas Joy tree in red and using the Spellbinders oval and scalloped oval nestabilities it was ready for assembly. However, my card just looked a little unfinished so there was a piece of glossy photo cardstock on my desk and decided to emboss it with the SSS Kaleidoscope embossing folder for more texture. The stamped sentiment is also from the same GKD Christmas Joy stamp set.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. Have a great day.

Black & white with the hint of red is very festive and you so nailed this challenge.
Thanks, Bonnie, I think that little bit of red does make it festive.
The buffalo plaid is lovely in the corner. The EF really adds nice texture. The red tree is a nice pop of color. It’s always fun to see the old GKD sets used and I think, Oh I need to get that out and use it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks, Judy, I’ve been searching through some of my older sets too for ideas.
Love the Black and White plaid! Great card!
Thanks, Diana, it’s a great combination, isn’t it?
Lovely card! I like the embossing you placed on the white piece. Love the black and white with the pop of red.
Thanks, Lisa, I’m glad I added the embossed panel, too, it was a little to CAS for me with out it!
You nailed this one perfectly. A little bit of embossing for interest, plaid and a pop of red combined into a pretty design.
Thanks, Johanna, I was happy with the card and loved the inspiration board for this challenge.

Beautiful card Gayle. The buffalo plaid is perfect for the black & white, touch of red combo.
Thanks, Gerry, I think I’m stuck in a buffalo plaid mode.
Love your background with the buffalo plaid and the embossed texture. Looks great behind your festive, red tree.
