Heartfelt Christmas Wishes

More new stash used on this one, I'm like a kid in a sweet shop deciding what to use first from my SECC haul at the moment!

 The cute stamp is from Lili of the Valley, it's been coloured with Promarkers, highlighted with Glamour Dust, and I've added black pearls for the snowman's eyes and buttons.
The papers are Papermania, First Noel, I really like the rich and classy colour tones of this pack, some of them are beautifully foiled too, although not the ones I've used here.
The topper was cut with a Spellbinders Floral Ovals dies, the holly is from a Spellbinders set too and the tag was cut with a die from a magazine freebie set, the sentiment stamp came free with a mag as well.  The snowflakes were made with a Nellie Snellen punch and emboss set, they look so pretty with the embossed design.
To finish, I've added ribbon, a bow, a twine bow, pearls and gems.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Christmas Card Challenges - #49 - Dimension - My topper is bowed in the middle with shaker tape and stuck down at the sides with DST.  The snowflakes are raised to different heights and the tag and holly are raised too.
