Christmas Wishes

This card is so unusual for me as it doesn't have a stamped image just the sentiment.  I created the background panel with a lovely Christmas swirl embossing folder and chose to just insert the top and bottom in to the folder. Then I dug out a very old Kaleidacolour ink pad and using a brayer applied the ink to the raised sections of the embossing. Then I used the brayer to colour some diecut swirls and a snowflake. I positioned these around the stamped sentiment panel and finished off the card with some gems.  I am posting to 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown - use embossing, and the Happy Little Stampers October Christmas challenge who also have the theme - Embossing. Then as I've used dies on my card I am also posting to Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes with Dies.  Thanks for taking a peek
