Penny Black "Merriest" Christmas Card

This morning, I decided to play with a Penny Black cling stamp called "Merriest" 40-797, which I paired with another Penny Black sentiment stamp set called "Beauty of the Season" 30-254.

I stamped both the sentiment and the main image in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink, although the main image was stamped in second and third generation ink, to achieve a "suggestion" of the image.

I coloured the image with a selection of Distress Oxide Inks, applied with a paint brush.  I also used some coloured pencils and a white Posca Pen to create the lok of snow flakes.
