This card is for today's Feature Stamper Challenge(FS144)! Congratulations, Christine! Beautiful gallery with so many wonderful cards to choose from. I chose this one to case.
I kept to a theme concept. Christine has Valentine's Day, I chose Christmas
I changed the colors. However, I did try to stay with two pattern papers and one texture like Christine
I chose to add a punch border along the sides of the back vertical panel
I did use a sentiment as my focal image like Christine, however, I opted to add a nativity image behind my sentiment.
Please check out my blog post for more card detailing!!!

I have been focussing a lot on CAS cards, and haven't looked at many-layered cards very critically for a while. This is very striking, and I really like it.
Trying to figure out what it was that really caught my eye, and I think it is the richness of the color in the background panels, contrasting with the white focal point.
I love all of the mats you've used, and the tiny silver embellishments.
Beautiful card! TFS
