Sparkle and Shine

The gold on this one is a little outside my comfort zone, but this week's Stamping Sisterhood #3 challenge (rubbernecker stamps anyone?) is inspired by Christmas lights, which to me meant red/green/yellow and sparkle and shine. And something else I don't usually do: gold embossing, but ya know, I kind of like it. Might try it out more often.

Stamps: sentiment from Verve's "Richly Blessed", birds from PTI's "Through the Trees"
