A Three in One - Polished Stone Xmas Card

This card is a three in one challenge card. Firstly 'We Three Kings' - Papertake Weekly Challenge, to use three of the same images on a card. Secondly 'Squares' - Arty Girlz challenge and one of this week's Alpha Challenges 'X is for Xmas Tree'.

I have recently singed up for an on-line Alcohol ink class as I don't have much knowledge or confidence with these and they just sit in my craft box gathering dust. The polished stone technique was used for the background piece on this card - my first piece from of class work!

Background paper is DCWV, Xmas tree stamp is Joanna Sheen and the greeting stamp is Tanda Stamps. Image is coloured with pens and embellished with ribbon and chord.
