Another Christmas Card

I couldn't sleep so I got up in the early hours and did some 'playing' about in my craft room. First I got my Alcohol Inks out and made a couple of backgrounds with Butterscotch, Caramel and Terra Cotta. Then I used this Tim Holtz stamp with Black Archival Ink - one of my favourite stamps - and used the 'Merry Christmas' stamp as well.

I am hopeless at putting colours together and never seem to have papers that can be used (how I envy all those crafters who make those delightful cards like the ones you see with, say, Magnolia stamps) anyway, I spent far too much time looking for papers to go with my AI background. This is what I came up with in the end. The brown stripe is a satin ribbon and the stars are punched out of the same gold cardstock as is behind the main image.

I had lots of my AI background glossy left over so am making some cards using it - perhaps they will get posted tomorrow.
