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:

Santa and his sleigh works well as a subject for this technique Loll and the slim silver frame around it really shows it off beautifully. I think I will keep it in mind to make some Christmas cards using this lovely technique. x
The slim silver frame is perfect Loll. Not tried this technique, may just have to investigate further now! ;)
