Before the Snow

I have a Christmas card to share today, featuring an old wood block Penny Black stamp called 'Before the Snow'. I stamped it several times along the bottom of a piece of watercolour effect paper (from the 'Mystery Marbles' pad by Craft Sensations) using white pigment ink, then heat embossed it all using white embossing powder. I stamped a sentiment (using a stamp from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous), then masked it off before stamping my Simon Says Stamp 'Falling Snow' background stamp over the top, using white pigment ink, then heat embossing it using more white embossing powder. I distressed the edges a little, then added it to a white card blank.
