Its Black Tie Attire at Dynamic Duos this week


Good morning, crafty friends.
Time for another two-colour challenge at Dynamic Duos. The "black and ..." is one of my favorite weeks:
 Black and silver are so suitable as we head into the darkest month of the year. Well, the one with the shortest days, anyway! 
I chose not to go with the dessert option per se, but I did make a winter card with several layers of CTMH grey (Slate, Grey Flannel and Whisper).
The silver comes in with the heat-embossed greeting, and that delicious stitched snowflake die cut from silver linen paper. Serious sparkle! A few stamped snowflakes on the inside, and done.
