Welcome
I usually mass produce my Christmas cards because of time constraints as much as anything, and this is what I have posted out this year.

Most folk who read this blog will have received their cards, so that is why I feel free to share it now.
The main image is from a retired Layers of Color set called
Christmas Blessings. I chose to stamp it in Adirondack Espresso ink as it was not as harsh as the black ink looked in my 'prototype'. I added a wee bit of chalk for some subtle colour.

The background was sponged using Barn Door and Mustard Seed Distress Inks, through the stencil Vintage Medallion by Layers of Color (again, retired).
The card was made by using the technique described here.
