A Simple Christmas

So I joined a holiday mini swap and this is my first design attempt. Let me know what you think. I've got to complete a design and get ten made this weekend so they can go into the mail on Monday.

Items used:

Scentsational Season stamp set (Holiday Mini)

Holiday collection framelits (Holiday Mini)

Apothecary Accents Framelits

Woodgrain embossing folder (Holiday Mini)

Lucky Limeade ink pad

Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon

Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler card stock

Festival of Prints designer paper (61/2 X 4 1/4 pad - Holiday Mini)

October Technique

I am considering the Acetate & Tissue technique that I found at http://splitcoaststampers.com under their resource page titled acetate & tissue. Here's the card I came up with, what do you think?

I used the Polar Party stamp set, Marina Mist paper, acetate sheet, dazzling diamonds glitter, bashful blue re-inker, black stazon ink pad, cajun craze, marina mist, pale plum, pumpkin pie markers and crystal effects.
