The Challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is to use metallic papers
This card is a bit different from those I usually make it is C&S which I like but in a different way. The first thing I did was to use a Die-namics die to cut the metallic paper background,then the rest fell into place.

Die cuts from Spellbinder, the poinsettia, pine branch and cones you cau just see peeping out from under the poinsettia and the Die-namics background.
