Sparkling trees

Happy Monday!  Well, it was for me since I had the day off work  :)
This card is submitted to two challenges.  You can click on the links to see all the details.
Just Us Girls Challenge #55, using the colors of Basic Black, Cream and Kraft.
Paper Players Challenge #20, which is a sketch challenge.

 ***EDIT - This card won as the Headliner this week, at the Paper Players. So exciting!

I didn't include a sentiment on the front of this card.  I wanted to keep the focus in the tree image from Gina K Designs.  I seem to have a weakness for tree and leaf stamps...actually, anything nature related.  I guess you could figure that out by the name of my blog, huh?
Once I put the card together, I thought the trees needed a little sparkle, so I pulled out the Diamond Stickles to give them a frosty look.  Oh, and I sponged a little Crumb Cake ink along the edges of the kraft and cream layers.
I love this color combination and it fit so well with the sketch, don't you think?  Anyway, I'm pleased with this card.  Let me know what you think!
