PBSC December - Anything Goes (Optional 'Christmas')...More Inspiration!

It's the third Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for some more inspiration for this month's Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:

'Anything Goes'
or

'Christmas'

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:

Prize - a $20 voucher!

The stamp I've used on my card is called 'We Three Kings'...I stamped it on the black card, along with its matching sentiment stamp, using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it all using 'Metallic Gold Rich' embossing powder by WOW. I watercoloured the image using mica pigments from a Cosmic Shimmers set called 'Festive Brights' (individual colours used: Soft Gold, Christmas Red, Bright Holly & Regal Purple). Once dry, I masked the image ans sentiment, then splattered some more of the Cosmic Shimmers around the edges. I matted the panel on to some gold mirror card, and then on to a black card blank.

The mica pigments are so shiny in real life, but as with anything sparkly or shiny, a real pain to photograph!

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
