A Woodland Merry Christmas Card

Here is the swap card I did for a World Card Making Day event in Atlanta that I attended this past weekend.  Brian King and Pam Morris (SU! demos) put on a relaxing, comedic and awesome event!
Tip for sponging on the White StazOn ink: Instead of spending the time sponging, just swipe the White StazOn ink pad lightly in one direction across the embossed layer. If you swipe the ink pad too hard or in lots of directions (against the grain of the embossed section), you will end up with a mess. But to save time and not having to sponge, I found this quick technique to work wonderful with the Woodland Impressions Embossing Folder.
