My favorite Christmas card!

Hello again,

Drummrolls please...!!!!!
Here is my most favorite Christmas card! Especially created for my one and only best friend M o n i k a !!
I absolutely love the background I have created here! The left side is made with a large background stamp and tumbled glass distress ink on water color paper. The right hand side is a mix of distress inks mixed together as well on water color paper & pearlized (is that a word?) with perfect pearls shimmer spray (simply water mixed with a little bit of perfect pearls). And of course my adorable sea critter is covered with wink of stellar glitter, its horn shines with glossy accents and the sentiment is placed on some vellum which I have fixated on the back of the card to hide the adhesive.

Just love it! =o)

Thanks for spending time with me here!
Yours, Steph
