Ornament Threesome

I have a card to share that is inspired by two Thursday challenges. Tic TacToe Challenge #255 has a great board to pick from. I went with the bottom row of multiples, die cut and sparkle or shine. Gems, metallic paper and embossing powders created shiney elements. TGIF Challenge #489 provided the colors for my card. Crumb Cake, Berry Burst and Night of Navy worked perfectly for my holiday card.
