Distress It

This card is water-colored with Distress Oxide inks and is entered in Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge, "Distress It." I masked and embossed the images from Simon's "Winter Flowers" with white embossing powder and then painted with the Distress Oxide inks. Then I embossed the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from Altenew's Holiday Wishes set. Then I used Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to sponge around the edges and finally added some gold embossing on the four edges of the cardstock. I stamped other images from "Winter Flowers" on the matching envelope.
