I'll be back with a direct link to the challenge later - had a long day out on Wednesday and Carla is kindly making the challenge live for me so I don't have to get up early! You'll find it stickied at the top of the WTUI forum.
DOX inks smooshed - carved pumpkin, stormy sky, antique linen.
For stamping - DOX forest moss, tumbled glass, Versafine Clair Morning Mist, Nocturne, Versafine Sepia
Stamps: Rubbestamp Avenue music, HA script, Unity Oh Joy, A Child is Born and Unto Us, SU Lovely As a Tree, Timeless Textures. Trimmed slightly, sponged the edges with dark brown and black, edged with gold and added to a black card base.
For the version on the left I used blues and greens for my smooshed background, I stamped the "JOY" in faded jeans DOX and added the star swirl from Star of Wonder. Also added a twine bow using Penny Black Embellishments set, stamped in candied apple DOX. This one has a Stickles edging after sponging the edges with some dark brown and black.

Both of these cards are as lovely as can be. But the one on the right has captured my heart. So much depth in your collage, Sabrina. And the shiny gold mid mod stars are awesome.

Wow! I am so impressed with all the subtle stamping you do to your cards, yet your main image of the manager scene stands out so vividly. You have so many layers and layers in your backgrounds that add so much to the gorgeous scene you have created in each card. I am still trying to take it all in. What gorgeous Christmas cards these are my friend. ~Karen.

Oh my, these are outstanding! Your DOX backgrounds are lovely, both of them! I love the manger, trees and those gorgeous gold stars. And the sentiment is just perfect. Into my faves!
