For this technique – it’s just a white pencil on black paper – with a little white gel pen for extra bright highlights if you think you need it! Watch on YouTube.
This technique worked for such a pretty little Christmas card too, didn’t it?

Beautiful! I miss stamping on black paper. U made me want to get my black paper our!’
Wow… these are gorgeous! I love the lanterns in white on the black cardstock! Awesome effect for these tags and the card!
Gorgeous–what have never thought something so “basic” could be so lovely! Thanks!
I always love how you show us all the different ways to use stamps. Just lovely.
Love these simple tags, very dramatic! they would work well with any packages. I’ll have to try this technique.
These tags would certainly stand out on a gift, they are fabulous!
So pretty and yet so simple, love them
Simply stunning!
Hi Sandy, this is probably a very silly question, but how do you ensure your cards are perfectly squared off when you mount them? Every single time mine end up ever so slightly wonky, it’s driving me nuts and I’m sure I’m missing a very simple trick
Thanks for inspiring me to pull out my Prisma colored pencils. They look like candy on the shelf! Time to use them. Lol
This is probably a very silly question, but how do you ensure that your cards are mounted perfectly, I always get mine ever so slightly wonky, it drives me nuts, I sure I must be missing a trick!

Thank you for answering my fixative seal question on YouTube, Sandy. I can not get over how beautiful these are! Thank you for sharing this one.
Super tags. Very simple, yet stunning!
Simple and elegant – thank you for sharing
Just have to say – wouldn’t the flame from the candle melt the snow inside??? Love the simplicity of these, but they also look very elegant. I think this is the simplest thing I’ve ever see you do. TFS
Love this look! I am so excited to try this technique! Thank you for all your efforts!
Beautiful. Love how you could pop the white by using the white gel pen. Thanks for the inspiration.
These tags have to be my all time favorite. I love the black and white.
Love these black and white tags! They are beautiful!
Love these types of lamp/candle holders. I have several in my house! On the card, though, wouldn’t you be able to see the snow at the base of the left lantern through the glass of the right one?
I like the black and white tag. Would be great for any type of wrapping paper…matching made easy.
Thank you so much for sharing this great new idea ! I will definitely try this technique !
These are so elegant! Thank you for all the inspiration. I love when these series’ come around each year.
How lovely are these tags! And I expected. Beautifully effective.
I’ve never thought about using black yardstick and white colored pencil for a Christmas tag/card, but these are so striking! I love the effect.
I just think this days tags are very elegant. I will be trying this today! Thanks Sandy!
Beautiful!
These tags are beautiful. It’s amazing what you can do with a white pencil and a gel pen!
Pretty tags that go with all colors of wrapping papers! Love the white pencil on black paper for these lanterns
Gorgeous. Not your usual tags and I like that!!
They look so elegant! Great idea. Now I’m thinking of all the other dark colors you could do this on!
These are so amazing. I definitely need to learn how to think like you!
Simply amazing, so elegant!
You made these lanterns come alive with just one color….you amaze me with your talent…
Well done
So elegant and simple looking, although not simple to create at all. Thank you for the shading technique ideas. What a difference that makes using this set! Shading is not something I do much of and the use of the white pen along with the pencil to highlight certain areas really stands out. Looking forward to trying this technique!
I love the idea of putting the snow inside the lanterns!
Excellent!!!!
A nice change from all the red and green that we have at Christmas time. A bit of the unexpected is always welcome – the card and tags are just precious! Great idea – thank you!
