Merry You & Yours (& Holiday Gifts 2015!)

Stamp, Ink Paper #21 has a clean and simple Christmas challenge going this week!  It's going to look so cute paired with Merry Monday #178's red and gold challenge!
So, yesterday I just finished making the sample cards from the To You and Yours Shaker Cards kit, and I noticed something:  there's a stamp in the accompanying set that we DON'T use!  Gasp!  (Unless you go rogue, which is certainly allowed in my classes - you just have to live with your choices, as I've been wont to say, lol.)  So I got the idea to use that lonesome stamp on today's card.  It occurs to me that this skyline silhouette would go great with the Sleigh Ride Edgelits, too, but that's a card for another day!
So I dithered a bit trying figure out how I would feature the landscape, and this is what I hit on!  I added a few details for some extra gold touches, but I really like how it came out!  Now, if only I could tie bows straight, lol...
