Hi Everyone, here's my card for CAS Christmas card Challenge, April is Christmas Songs.

I had forgotten all about how well pencils work on black and haven't done this since I first started stamping. What a wonderful effect with those hedgies. I love that you got such a crisp image with white ink, something I've never achieved. Another fresh "Christine" idea!

This parade of little critters is adorable, Christine! I've never colored on black cardstock and it's on my list to try. I love how it's colored up your card!

Adorable little critters singing their Christmas song! Love them coloured on the black - really depicts a night-time scene which is perfect since they're carrying a lantern.

They are delightful, and I absolutely love the white on black stamping. The colouring is so effective too against the "night sky".

You chose a happy song and these little critters are just adorable. I'll be humming this all day long! This is a new thing for me to try, coloring on black cardstock. I look the look of this.

Thank you for the delightful ear worm to start my Sunday morning, Christine! And I love the visual you provided to go along with it. Those caroling mice are adorable and your coloring is divine! I hope you are taking care and keeping safe in the hospital environment! Hugs, Darnell

I love the different look you have achieved here Christine with the white embossed hedgies against the black card and the coloured pencils have worked well on the dark card. A very pretty card! x

I don't know how to use pencils on black but I sure do know I like the way it looks. If I ever get back to card making and working in my art journal, I will give it a go!
