Badly behind on Christmas cards. Normally I make four each of a design, but I only had enough cling-wrap backgrounds (Brushos, spray starch, Brusho Acrylic Mists) to make two of these.
For the one on the left, I embossed the background using Shimmering Stars. Rubbed in some gold luster rub-ons. Added the sentiment, which I cut from white card and coloured with gold Twinkling H2Os. I used a gold pen to draw a double line border, which I doodled, then coated with Glossy Accents and then randomly sprinkled gold glitter over. The star has some Stickles on it.
For the one on the right, I drew the gold border first and masked it off before stencilling the stars in. Again I cut the sentiment from white card and coloured it with gold Twinkling H2Os. This time I added some Stickles all over it, except to Mary and Joseph leaning over the manger in the O.
Not sure I really like either of them, but they slightly reduce the deficit.

I love the metallic die-cuts, I think my preference is for the sparkly one on the right with the Stickles. Cool to see the two and how they vary, thank you! I am impressed that you are working on your Christmas cards, I think you are so wise!
