Santa's sleigh 3

I'm determined to get my money's worth out of this stamp!  This time I thought I would try a portrait orientation - yes, it fits.  I heat embossed black on the blue background, then used metallic pencils to add some color.  The paper was chosen to echo the harvest colors of the pencils, and it was looking pretty dark, so I whipped out another diecut foam snowflake, put a white offset behind the punched edge, and perked up the coloring with a white gel pen.
Challenges:
4 Crafty Chicks - diecut
CCEE Stampers - 4 different embellishments
Crimbo Crackers - anything goes (Christmas)
Paper Play - Button
