This idea for this card was born after seeing a card with silhouette dies placed inside a negative shape. We carry a few Edgelits in the current Holidays catalogue, so it was a nice way to put them to good use. I decided to go with the Bethlehem Edgelits, in both Gold Foil paper and Gold glimmer paper. The star was stamped and embossed in Silver powder on Silver foil paper and die-cut with the matching die, then topped with a clear faceted gem.
The sentiment was heat-embossed in gold and reads "The gentle miracle of Christmas." It's not easy to read on the patterned paper, and I actually tried stamping it in silver first, then doing ink resist to make it pop, and the more I fiddled with it, the worst it got, so I used a second piece of patterned paper and stuck with gold embossing. The sentiment can be easily read when the embossing catches the light.
