Merry Everything - Christmas Card

I've been adding some new to me products to my stash - like I need them!  This is a stamp set from Newton's Nook called Santa Paws and has the coordinating die set.  I coloured the images with copics.  But the real star of the show in my opinion is that background!!  I used various distress inks to blend this together, making the centre appear highlighted or glowing.  The sentiment was covered in gold embossing powder and I used Heide Swapp Gold Color Shine for a starry appearance.  I can't wait to try more backgrounds this way in other colour combinations.
