Hi lovely bloggers friends and followers - hope you are all having a happy day?
Just popped by to share a card which I have made for the Xmas Card Swap at the Chocolate Baroque Online Community Group.
I thought you might like to see it and here it is ~

The Chocolate Baroque stamp is from the Christmas Flourish set - one of my all-time favourites.
The image was stamped onto white card with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white emb. powder.
Several shades of blue Distress Inks were applied over the image with a TH Inkssentials applicator.
Sentiment - "Christmas" from HOTP, "Wishes" from Layers of Color.
A mixture of water with a tiny amount of household bleach was spritzed over the ink to give a snowy effect.
A sprinkling of Glamour Dust added here and there to the Holly leaves.
