On to the card.....
It's a thank you card for my aunt and uncle who we recently visited. I used the challenge colors of kraft, cranberry, slate blue, pine and snow. And I added some fun little shiny bits with Glossy Accents (on the window panes and bow) and Frosted Lace Stickles on the tree and snow.
Here's a different angle to see the shiny stuff better.

~ Psalm 37:3-5 ~
"Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart's desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust Him, and He will help you."
Have a wonderful weekend!
