A big congrats to Helen, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a really sweet gallery & I chose THIS to case. I really liked the color combo & mixed media look of the background so I kept those, but I used different images, a different layout & made mine a Christmas card.
To make my card, The strip in the middle is actually part of a large tag I made w/ Distress inks & a little platinum Brilliance for some sparkle (Wrinkle Free Distress technique).
The aqua & lime sparkle layers were die cut w/ curved dies & the largest lime sparkle was embossed on both ends. Though the small manger image was meant to be a postage frame, I wanted to use it on my card so I added the large star from the wisemen image in the center of the postage frame. For the rest of the wisemen, I stamped them on the aqua layer & added some white Prismacolor pencil highlights.
Congrats again, Helen! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This is phenomenal and a beautiful take on your inspiration - So much texture with all your wonderful layers of lacy die cuts and I love the colored postage stamp image paired with the silhouette wise men - just perfect !!!

Love your colors and layers and especially the heart of your card. Such a sweet message. I like how the wiseman looks like he is pointing at Jesus on your card.
