Black and gold Christmas

For this card I've used one of my latest Stampotique Christmas stamps that I got with a voucher I won from Crazy 4 challenges a while ago. It's Christmas mosaic by Amy Wilson. I inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail gold powder on to black cardstock, then matted on to some gold paper. I then inked up a couple of favourite Inkadinkado snowflake stamps with versamark and again heat embossed with detail gold, randomly stamped directly on to the black card blank. This is for Creative card crew 15: black card stock.

I love stamping and embossing so this is my card for facebook Sunday's with Santa for Sunday 8 July to use favourite things, which also includes those background stamps.

As I've used a newly acquired stamp that hasn't been used before this is for Christmas stampin all year long 19: no inky yet!
This is also for:
