Pink Christmas

I have a Christmas card to share today...and went for (mostly) pink in honour of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month...even though I really don't like pink! The image is from the 'Joy to the Wrold!' set by Penny Black...I stamped it on to watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. For the background, I embossed a piece of watercolour effect paper (from the 'Watercolour Feelings' pad from The Works) using my Simon Says Stamp 'Mod Trees Background' stamp and some 'Emerald City' embossing glitter from WOW. I distressed all of the edges, and matted the image and background on to some green card. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Christmas Sparkle' set by Woodware Stamps.
