The background DP is Chatterbox two sided Light Snowfall. It was the perfect shade of blue to go with the aqua mirri card mat. I stamped the image on ivory Bazzil 110 pound paper and used a Sizzix stitched die for the image and the mirri mat.
The hills are made with snippets of kraft stripey textured paper, from an 8x8 DP pad I bought at the last paper craft garage sale. The cover was missing from this pad so I do not know the manufacturer. I wiped a generous amount of that Momento Rich Cocoa all around the edges, and let the ink edge up onto the hills themselves.
I used a snippet of kraft paper for the Spellbinders die I used behind the top portion of the image., It reminded me of Moorish windows. I decided to go with that Eastern feeling.
The Merry Christmas Sentiment is from Make An Impression 1994. Now that is old!
There is one imported item on my card. It was imported by me! It is the golden diamond bling on the North Star! I bought it in Inverness at The Works!
It is always nice to make a religious card, hope you enjoyed it too.

great colour combo and love your sand dunes with kraft cards stock. :)
This is so pretty, and yet has a nice warmth with the rustic colors along with the jewel and softer colors of the teal shades you've added. It's a lovely image, and I really like the design layout too! TFS & Hugs
Beautiful card, Maureen! That die is perfect for the background!
