Vintage Christmas, Part 1

I am inspired by the Merry Monday Challenge to make a vintage Christmas card.  I bought this stamp at Michaels a few years ago and was never satisfied with the results.  This time I am happier and the stamp can reside in my home for a while longer.
I stamped in Potting Soil Archival Ink.  The main image was watercolored with Inktense Watercolor Pencils which dry permanent.  I gave the entire image a wash with Distress Ink  (Antique Linen and Old Paper) to make it look older.  The edges were inked with Distress Ink Vintage Photo.  It is mounted on cream color cardstock.

Stamp:  Stampendous Snow Postcard

Thanks for taking a look!
