Denise ,we must have posted at the same time!
Only just seen your card. It's lovely, and the little donkey is so
appropriate for Christmas. Like Alison said the red colour is perfect.
The die cuts are lovely too.
Hope you get a machine .

The purple card I did use a sponge, because it was a bit wetter, but for the
brown musical one I just swiped my ink pad over it.
