Fyre Werks is a shiny metallic ribbon thread from Rainbow Gallery. It comes in regular and Soft Sheen (for less shine), plus Hologram, Pearl and Florescent colors. You can see all the colors here.
Needlepoint.com has done a video on stitching with Fyre Werks that is informative and gives you a good idea what the thread looks like on the card and when stitched.
I'd recommend a shorter length and a laying tool to get the best shine. In the video above you'll see how the cut end frays. If that bugs you, try a touch of Frey Check, clear fingernail polish or a touch of fabric glue that dries clear like Aleene's Tacky Glue.
