I almost bailed on this one, it was a hot mess. The inks I used kept smearing on the glossy card stock so I had to keep stamping, wiping, blending. Thank goodness for the Misti positioning tool or I never would have kept going.
I used a large variety of ink colors, embossed in espresso with Versamark. Shaded sky and sand with various Tim Holtz distress oxides and regular distress inks, markers, and a white gel pen. The landscape stamp is Penny Black. Santa and the green row of trees on the horizon are Hero Arts.

Just looking at the cards posted for the February CCC18 challenge - this turned out beautifully despite your struggles. Love the colours and the snowy effect of the white gel pen.
