Christmas Candle - QKR Stampede Design Team for challenge #262

This week the Anything Goes challenge at QKR Stampede has the optional twist of "embossing".  For me, that is a super easy challenge, as I use dry embossing frequently.  You may enter the challenge as many as 3 times.  There are two prizes (QKR digis) offered - for an entry using a QKR Stampede or Eureka image, and for an entry using any image.  Entries close at 3 pm EDT Thursday.
This card uses a QKR image called Candle as well as a QKR sentiment.  The embossing is Snowflakes.  I am disappointed in the screen appearance - IRL the glittery glow around the candle flame is much more subdued - just hard to capture in a visual.  My favorite color could change daily, but the deep red (almost burgundy) of the mats, combined with white, is a perennial favorite.
