My style of Christmas card

I've found making traditional Christmas cards a bit of a challenge this year and so when I had time to play with some paints this card was the result.
 
 
The background is a mono print taken from putting acrylic paint onto a plastic bag and spreading it out using a brayer. When the paint is spread how you like take a sheet of card and press into the paint, great marbling and texture with very little effort!!
 
I over stamped the background and then attached my focal image, an old stamp called Allegro, by Stampington & Company.
