Multi-Card Challenge! All that is Christmassy

I've been holding onto this one for a bit, but it's time to send off my Christmas cards!  I bought this Penny Black poinsettia stamp after it was introduced on the Simon Says Stamp blog because I loved it so much and saw the watercoloring potential.  This is the first time I've used such a stamp and to allow for drying time in between layers, I rotated three cards.  It took some time, but you bet I will use this stamp again next year!

Here is a visual of my watercoloring process:


Stamped with TH Antique Linen to give me some guidance and watercolored with more TH distress inks.


 My final three cards embossed with the sentiment from My Favourite Things


Finished and ready to send out!

The card challenges I am going to enter this card in are as follows:
