Santa's sleigh 2

Santa flies at night, right?  I knew I needed to try and work in a dark background for this stamp, so I embossed it in white on a dark blue, then I embossed the sentiment in dark blue on white for the bottom part of the card.  it just was too flat-looking, so I used a little distress ink to develops some texture, and finally built up an embellishment combining ribbon, a button, and a foam snowflake.
