Using Pretty Wrapping Paper for Atlantic Hearts Sketch #296

On Christmas Eve I still needed a to make a few more Christmas cards and I came upon a great sketch from Atlantic Hearts which helped me create a handful of cards in a short time.  I had some scraps of metallic wrapping paper left and incorporated it into my cards.

This next card shows the reverse placement of paper elements.  Which card do you like better?
