Peace on Earth

The other day, I posted this card that I created from an upcycled Christmas card I received last year.  Today's card is made from the top part of that same upcycled Christmas card.  The scene is just gorgeous and just didn't need anything except a sentiment really.  I die cut the scene with a stitched rectangle die, stamped the sentiment in the top center and added a few metal rhinestones to highlight the sentiment.
There are all these little foiled dots in the trees and sparkle and shine so beautifully.  You can see it a little better in the photo below.
I love the gray/silver color in this image, so I matted it on a dark gray card stock base.  It makes it feel so icy and wintery.

Supplies:
Stamps: PaperTrey Ink "Just Sentiments: Be Merry"
Dies: MFT " Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle

Challenges:
Sparkles #156--winter wonderland
ABC Christmas--A is for Anything Christmas Goes
Creative Fingers #269--anything goes
Simon Says Stamp Monday--Sparkle and Shine
Crafty Catz #663--anything goes with the optional twist: no patterned paper
