Penny Black Christmas card

The Penny Black Saturday challenge (here)  http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/
is for Holly and Ivy or Christmas flowers/trees. As I have just bought some Penny Black stickeroos I thought I would have a go at using one of the images. I must say I was very impressed with the stickers. They are not flimsy and peel off easily from the sheet. At approx. £1.50 per sheet with several images on each sheet, I thought they were excellent value. The colours are lovely and rich and the backgrounds are lovely too. I choose this gorgeous bauble to make this bold Christmas card with all my favourite Christmas colours. Not only did I enter the Penny Black challenge but lots more which are listed below.
