This oldie-but-goodie Penny Black stamp is one of my all-time favorite stamps for Christmas card making. It stands alone, or plays well with other stamps. I chose to use some distress inks to ink it up, and layered the colors using my Misti. I added some colored pencil shading and enhancing to the petals and leaves, and some background stamps and brushed some color.

Stunning card, Lynda, and the gold embossing really sends it over the top.

I just love those "go to" stamps I have in my collection as well. This is beautifully done in the distress inks.
