Christmas in August - Black for Christmas?

Though today's card has green and gold, it doesn't look very traditional for a Christmas card because of the addition of the black - an unexpected color, perhaps, but I like it.  The focal here is stamped with a cute little stamp from Paper Wishes.  A friend has suggested I could draw in a colorful vest on the gingerbread boy & I think that WOULD indeed add a nice touch.  Nestabilities were used to cut and emboss the focal and mat. The border was cut with a fancy blade on my Fiskar's cutter. The sentiment was also a stamp from Paper Wishes.  Black ribbon adds the finishing touches.

Absolutely black for Christmas cards but then again what other color would I pick! Card looks smashing.
