I placed a mask over my card front and lightly sponged the center rectangle in Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink. I then stamped the Lavinia Christmas Night image several times overtop with the same ink to get lots of contrast. I added a skinny silver metallic frame and stamped the sentiment from a long retired stamp set to finish the card.
Sending this card to:
