Christmas Postcard

I went to the Great Northern Papercraft Extravaganza on Saturday with my Mum and had a great day!!  I bought lots of goodies and amongst them was this gorgeous stamp from stampendous:

 

I used theva card from clarity and my brand new splodge mat to create the brayered background using stormy sky distress ink.  I flicked water over it to create a snowy sky type look.

I stamped the postcard stamp in versafine onto the background and another piece of white card.

I cut around the holly and oval that was stamped on the white card and coloured it using stormy sky distress marker and water mixed on my splodge mat, the holly was coloured using distress markers also in crushed olive and peeled paint.

I mounted the cut out image using foam pads and added perfect pearls and glamour dust.

To finish I added the little red gems to the centres of the holly leaves.

 

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
