Christmas again?

Just a quick post. I thought my Christmas card making was finished until I received this Magnolia stamp and how could I resist? The garland is a Sizzix Sizzlets decorative border colored with distressed inks and Crystal Stickles. The background is a cuttlebug folder. The image was stamped with Versamark Embossing Ink on watercolor paper, embossed with detail black embossing powder and colored with watercolors, one of my first attempts. Things I would do better next time: take more care with the embossing powder. I used the static bag but there still seemed to be a lot of particles and I would use less water in the watercolor paint to saturate the color more. Later…
