I tried to think of a card that would be warm and soothing for someone to receive. It is really cold in North Dakota, so I wanted to make something with warm colors. So I stamped the Thomas Kinkade winter scene onto PTI's warm Fine Linen CS using Versafine Toffee ink. Then I added the sentiment from PTI's new Big & Bold Holiday wishes (love this new set) in red.
To finish the card, I spritzed it with PTI's gold mist spray to give it a warm glow and shimmer, almost like a lamp light over the whole scene.
Supplies (all Papertrey Ink unless otherwise listed)
Stamps: Christmas Village (Thomas Kinkade, CHF), Big and Bold Holiday Wishes
Paper: Fine Linen
Ink: Toffee (Versafine), Rocket Red (Brilliance), Rocket Red Gold (Brilliance)

I love anything Thomas Kinkade. Didn't know there was a stamp set with his images. This is really serene with the sentiment stamped in red over the beautiful scene. Very nice job Monica.

Beautiful one layer card! I read the challenge too and you did a great job with it.
Your card came on a cold, snowy North Dakota day. It warmed my heart with the warmth of the picture and your contribution. The shimmer is just perfect. Thanks. Rhonda
