Today's card features a Penny Black Christmas stamp called 'We Three Kings'. I stamped it, along with the matching sentiment, on to black card using Versamark ink, then heat embossed them using gold embossing powder from WOW. I coloured it using Cosmic Shimmers pigments mixed with a little water, then splattered some of those same colours around the edges. Once dry, I matted the panel on to some gold mirror card before adding it to a white card blank.
