I stamped the image on watercolour paper, used watercolour paints for the house, sky, holly, and oval border, then sponged the outside section first with Antique Linen, and then darker on the edges with Brushed Corduroy.
The sparkle on the sky and ground is from Frantage White Embossing Enamel - sprinkled on and heated from underneath. I did the sparkle on the rooftops using an old kind of dried up glitter glue which made it quite textured and then glitter sprinkled on it. The holly berries are nice and shiny with Glossy Accents on them.
