Smooch Christmas Card

I recently bought some Smooch paints - and of course had to try them out immediately!  They are GREAT for coloring things - in this case an embossed Christams scene. I love the bit of shimmer that they create, and the fact that their pointed tips allow for some pretty intricate work.  Using them is pretty straight forward - no real tricks needed.  In addition to coloring the embossed scene with them, I used the gold to go around the edge creating a bit of a frame. 

The embossing bit was easy as it is an embossing folder that I just ran through my Big Shot.

The trickiest part of this card was that I wanted to use this card base (I have a bunch of them that need to be used up), and the embossed image was shorter than I wanted it to be for this card.  What to do?  I cut the image, spacing the pieces apart so they fit the card better - then put ribbon across the space created.  What do you think?  Would you know that embossed image was cut this way?
