CASE Study challenge #117

This lovely card was this week`s inspiration:

As I am already totally into making christmas cards - that was what I chose to do.  I had bought this stamp like two years ago and decided that it was high time to use it :-). White embossed the image on water color paper and then rubbed several inks over it to give it some nice shading. Also used a strip of vellum to give my card a softer touch...
