Today's card features an unbranded wooden Christmas stamp that I picked up from a charity shop a couple of weeks ago. I stamped it onto a snippet of black card using Versamark ink, then heat embossed it using gold metallic embossing powder from WOW. I watercoloured the image using Cosmic Shimmers pigments mixed with water, then matted it onto some gold mirror card before adding it to a white card blank.
