SWALK Christmas card 1

Hello everyone
 
Today I am posting the Christmas card I made yesterday - just needed to add the sentiment this morning.  For this card I have used one of the lovely SWALK rubber stamps from Crafters Companion, which I have coloured using Flexmarkers and Promarkers.  Here is the card:


I have used a pre-scored 6x6 card blank and some silver mirri card with backing paper printed from the Crafters Companion SWALK winter cd.  I had to change the colour of this slightly as I coloured the image first and wanted a toning backing paper.  I have used a white gel pen to highlight the falling snow, silver moonlight glitter pen to the large snowflakes and a touch of iridescent glitter to the pom-pom on the hat and fur trims on the coat.  I cut the image using a Spellbinders die and then layered it onto Centura Pearl snow white card cut with another Spellbinders die.  The sentiment is computer generated in Serif Craft Artist and then cut with a Spellbinders die.  I can't quite decide whether or not this card needs something extra - I don't like to over-embellish my cards but think that perhaps there is "something" mising!  What do you all think?

Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog.
