A Gem of a Challenge Dt Card - How Charming

We have a new challenge for you at A Gem of a Challenge, this week's theme is "How Charming", in other words, we'd like you to use a charm, I decided to make a Christmas card and use a snowflake charm.  I've got lots of baby's first Christmas cards to make this year as lots of my friends have recently had new additions, you'll find this cute image in the Pink Gem shop here.
 I've coloured the image with my usual Promarkers, adding some ultra fine Flower Soft to the bobble and trim on the hat for a fuzzy texture.
The papers are Lili of the Valley, Frosty Christmas and Krafty Christmas, two packs which work really well together.  I inked all the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink for definition.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.
To embellish, I added some blue ribbon, baker's twine, onto which I attached the snowflake charm, and I finished of with some clear gems.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges - 
Allsorts - #217 - Kraft It 
Totally Gorjuss - #194 - Christmas in July 
Card Crafter's Circle - #85 - Christmas in July 
Crafty Catz - #1193 - Christmas in July 
Creative Corner - #29 - Christmas in July 
Jellypark - Christmas in July 
Polka Doodles - #30 - Christmas in July
