All that Glitters

I pulled out two different glitter EPs for this card, Pirate's Gold and Winter Wonderland.  The card really has a lot of sparkle in real life.
The stamps and die are from Prickly Pear. The center of the ornament is a snowflake shape so I carried the snowflake theme through with the dp and snowflake embellishment.
I've seen people using multiple rows of twine all pushed together, and I like the effect, so I used gold cording over gold washi tape to mimic the look.

The card is for these challenges:
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #243 -- use gold
Holly Jolly Christmas #54 Snowflakes and Sparkle
Rudolph Days August -- anything Christmas
Die-Cut Divas August -- favorite holiday
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Extra Challenge -- anything Christmas
