Hi blog friends! I have basically the same card here but done in two different colour ways for your inspection They both use the fancy ornament from the Christmas Filigree stamp set, which I love! On both cards, the ornament was simply stamped in black archival ink and embossed with clear powder and I think it looks stunning without any colour to it. The first one is one of my all time favourite colour combos, black and cream. I have to make a black and cream card for every show I am working on because I love that combo so much! I pulled out my octagon nesties for it here. I absolutely love octagon shape and I never get enough of a chance to use these! I inked the ornament with antique linen ever so lightly for an accent. The background was embossed with the star from that set and clear embossed for interest. I added some fancy lace from my craft stash, a border punch, some pearls, a ribbon and some piercing and it was finished.
Virtually the same card here, except with red and cream. Although the ribbon does look a little bit pink in the picture it is red and cream. I used Labels 22 for the ornament this time, but I still inked it with antique linen distress ink for interest. The lace is cream this time and I used the pearl PVA glue instead of piercing around the edge. The background was also stamped and embossed with the star and shows up quite a bit better in this picture. What do you say, which one do you prefer? All for now, Sue x

Both wonderful cards but I do prefer the cream and black one although I would not be disappointed if I had received either one. I do like it when you show how simple can still be elegant and you do not need to make a card complicated.
Both cards are gorgeous, however.....................my FAVOURITE is...................the black & cream card!!! Simply stunning :-) xx
Love them both especially the lace as it adds that certain something
I couldn't choose because I love them both. I would love to go through your craft stash Sue you have some amazing stuff ;-)
Love both the card now you ate making it harder for me to decide what to do for my Xmas cards I was going to make them all the same now I am going to have to make o many of each
Has begun to smell New year
Fantastic Christmas cards Sue love them both, now choosing a favourite... well while I like black and cream a lot my fav has to be red cream and black a favourite combo of mine! Thanks for sharing

Both cards are stunning Sue but if I had to choose then it would be the black and cream, but then again red is so very Christmassy. See wouldn't want to choose at all, love the lace.

Lovely cards. I prefer the black and cream one. Love the lace on both of them. Julia xxx
Both colourways are exceptional, i would be proud to receive either of these cards.
I love the lace and ribbon.
Thanks for sharing
Hugs Amanda x
These are definitely to my taste Sue. S.t.u.n.n.i.n.g!!
To chose between the two is too difficult. (I just sat clicking between the them for almost 3mins) So, all I can say, (which is cheating really, lol..) is to me, Black/Cream is Corporate elegance and Red/Cream is Family elegance (red showing the depth of love). My only true preference is the type of bow on the Black/Cream card. Regards and good Sunday to all. Linda x
Hi Sue wonderful 2 cards today. They are both really fabulous Wow Wow Wow. Lots of love Jenny L
I love your elegant cards. Both cards are beautiful and it's very hard to choose one...
I love the lace on both of the cards.
I love the ribbon and button on the black card and I love the layers on the red one.

Hi Sue, both beautiful cards, I need to make one now, but I need to buy the stamp set and I cant find it anywhere, Please can you tell me where to buy it from Best wishes Helen x
Both cards are great, hard to choose a favourite but i do prefer the black and cream as i love the black lace and the stamped bauble stands out more on this card, also like the ribbon , cord and button accent on top of card. Another winner Sue. Yvonne x
Struggle to fin a favourite with these to colurways but I think the red just gets my vote.thanks sue Gwen Marsden
Hi Sue, the black and cream get my vote, it is so beautiful with the black lace and the ornament is stunning. I do like the red version but LOVE the black and cream, very elegant. Anne x
Love the cards, it is amazing how just changing the colour makes it so different
Hi Sue
Love both the cards, but I would probably favour the black and cream.
The lace makes a very pretty addition.
Eileen x
Both cards are just beautiful. I admit I love the black and cream the most but I just love the cream lace to pieces, so it´s really hard topick one for another, as they´re both really awesome in different ways. Stunning work again hun.
I really can't decide sue they are both beautiful the colour schemes for both are fantastic ....I love your finishing touches to all your cards .Mandy x
The black and cream card is lovely but I am a traditionalist so for Christmas it has to be red.
Frances
Hello Sue !
I'm sorry but I can't choose... they are both outstanding!
love marg
I think my vote is the red, but they are both lovely cards
If I really had to choose between them it would be the Black and cream but really like them both !
I have that stamp - thanks for the inspiration!
I love both of the cards, but I think my favourite is the black. xx
Two beautiful cards but if I had had to choose it would be the red and cream.
Ohhh this is a tough one, they are both so beautiful. And as you say basically the same card but I think the colour difference makes them two very different cards. Im gonna have to go with cream and black, I love that colour combo...but the I do love cream and red too! Hmmmm.....can I not just love them both?!! Lol. Lee x
I love the first card black and cream! Wonderfull embellishments!

Jane xx
I like both of them and don't think I could make one a favourite. they're both gorgeous.
I looked at these cards for ages trying to choose a favourite. I love black and white/cream on cards, but for Christmas I just adored the red. Very stylish cards Sue and I love the stripey ribbon too, Carole x
Beautiful cards in both Colourways and I actually have most of the kit to case them. hugs Bee
Love both cards but if I have to choose then it would be the red one only because it feels more christmasy. Love your signature piercing/dots and the lace is gorgeous.
mi piace molto la versione in rosso
Simply beautiful!! Love all your cards!
Hello everyone - Love them both but the black and cream is the winner, I think it's that fancy black lace that makes it look so classy. The striped ribbon on the red one is adorable.
lillygeexx
Sue It was hard to choose but I think the black and cream won on the nose. Absolutely beautiful

Love both of these sue, however my favourite colour combination is the black and cream.

Those cards are so beautiful and elegant!
Oh Sue love them both but think black and cream is my favourite colour combo!
The red stripe ribbon is gorgeous, where is it from?
Look forward to your next one..
hugs
Sandra Riley
very very beautiful cards! love them both. The black and cream is very elegant I love that most. :)
May I ask what brand of stamp pad ink are you using? the color seem to be very dark, it's my first time stamping and I have a versafine and it's not that dark and there are spots that don't have ink.
Thanks,Cheers!
I love 'em both! Have to confess that I like the bow on the black on better, just my taste. The red stripe ribbon is pretty, but seems to casual to me. What stamp co. is that ornament from? It's very pretty!
R/
Wow and wow! Beautiful lace.
Beautiful cards, love the lace also. TFS
Both lovely cards but my preference is the black. At first glance I thought the lace on the black was another die! x
lovely lovely cards
This both card is so Lovely!!!!
Hugs Susanne
Elegant cards, I think I like the red one best.
Hi Sue, both cards are georgous as usual but if I had to pick, I would go for the black & cream combination as they are my favourite colours for a card also. Ann w
Both georgous cards Sue but I think I like the black & Cream colourways the best. Ann W

MissD
Great cards, but I have to go with black and White, just love those colourvtogether! Trace x
Both beautiful but the cream and black is my favourite - so elegant
I love both these cards, but it would have to be the red and white for me xx
Both very elegant cards. My favourite is the red and cream, lovely!. You must have an amazingly steady hand to get the cosmic shimmer glue faux pearls so uniform and perfect, have you ever tried cake decorating? I'm sure you would be brilliant!
The black and cream is stunning - my favourite.

Mmmmmm, just yummy. I'm loving the lace trim. Sort of thing I'd have dangling from one of my floaty skirts!
Lovely cards as always
Heidi :-)
Hi love both cards and find it impossible to choose a favourite xx
my fave is the black & cream one, except I love the way you have done your trick of having the stamp coming outside the edge of the nestie on the red one. (Unless its actually just layered up on this particular one?)
Beautiful. Particularly like the black one, something very sexy about the back lace :)
Your a great inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Both are very beautiful but I think that black and white is the one I loooooove :)
Hugs from Finland, Eemeli
love the cards, perfet for mass production for work collegues

Sue C
They are both beautiful. What a difference colour makes! Hugs, Carol S.xx
They are both gorgeous! Love the black ornament and you're right you don't need to add color. They're perfect!!! Mimi
Even though the design is pretty much the same they look totally different. Love them x

Another two beautiful cards.It is amazing how,when you change the colour,you change the card.Love them.xxxx
I like both of your cards. I don't think I could choose a favorite; they're both wonderful.
Both are lovely - they don't even look like the same stamp somehow.
Love all the details and that a beautiful stamp.
