The background is covered with Texture Paste stars that I dabbed with Tarnished Brass Distress Stain and then lightly misted. On the front piece I used faux batik, one of those oldies but goodies techniques. I stamped the manger scene over the batik using archival ink but it still resists a bit – I like the effect.

I am also going to enter this into the Craft Hoarders Anonymous challenge Celebrate the Season. I am surely a hoarder of all crafty Christmas things. Who can pass up those post Christmas clearance sales? I'll tell you a secret - I've been saving the scrap of wrapping paper I used as the background for years!
