Inspiration: Hand Stamped Sentiments #304 + Colour Inkspiration #45
This colorful Holidays card came together really quickly. I used the Stylish Christmas stamp set from the poinsettia and flourish images, and drew from the Christmas Pines stamp set from the sentiment, since I wanted something in French. The Buffalo Check background stamp was used on the card base and I added a couple touches of Designer Series Paper to complete the card.
I wanted my sentiment to have dimension but since I don't own the In Color embossing powders, I used a stamping platform to stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink first, cleaned the stamp in the platform and then stamped it again in VersaMark, then used clear embossing powder on top.

Wow, these colors together make a really festive Christmas card! And how much better can it get that it came together quickly--that's always a big thing for me. Sometimes I can spend hours on one card. I love it when they just fall together and turn out amazing like this! Thanks for playing along at Hss!
