I stamped in permanent black ink, set with my heat tool (just to be safe) and then watercoloured using distress inks. I added a light gray wash to the background when I was finished. This seemed to be perfect for a square card, so cut it down and added a thin red card stock frame, popping up the panel on my square card base. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in red to finish.

I can see why you had to buy this really cute stamp set, Loll...Beautiful watercoloring with your DI's and I love the scripty sentiment! Another fabulous Christmas card ~ Barb xx
This love bug is so sweet with its heavy burden of presents and tree and not forgetting the wreath too. I love the colours you have used and the red mat shows it off and ties in well with the red parcels and large bow on the wreath. A gorgeous card Loll. x
Loll - I love this cute card. Beautiful colours.
Looking at the other cards from the challenge yours is my favourite.
This car is so laden with Christmas that it will be welcomed in anybody's home! What a fun design, my friend, and so beautifully colored! The soft gray wash is perfect for making all these colors pop!
Adorable image - must have been lots of fun to colour it. And a great wintry sky - the grey and the snowflakes really make me feel the chill!
