I have a Christmas card to share today, which features a stamp that I picked up in a charity shop last week. The stamp is called 'Poinsettia Panel' by Stamps by Chloe, and I stamped it onto a snippet of black card using Versamark ink, then heat embossed it using 'Metallic Gold' embossing powder from WOW. I used Cosmic Shimmers pigments mixed with a little water to watercolour the image. I used a Creative Expressions die to cut the sentiment from a snippet of gold mirror card, then added it on top. I matted the panel onto another snippet of gold mirror card, then added it to a white card blank.
