Inky Christmas Cards

I wanted to do some Christmas cards using inky backgrounds, so I rubbed Pine Needles Distress Ink over white card, and splattered them with small drops of water, then dabbed dry with kitchen paper and blasted with my heat gun. Then I stamped randomly with a pine needles stamp and some small words from my HOTP clear stamp set.
Then I stamped greetings onto a piece of card and heat embossed with clear embossing powder and matted it with dark green and then gold and stuck them on the card.
