Christmas cards featuring metallic paper backgrounds, digital nativity images and silver accents

For this set of cards I used a blue and silver brocade gift wrap for my background and navy card bases.  

For my first card, I added a silver ribbon across my card after adhering the background to the card base.  The nativity image was laser printed, trimmed and then embellished with clear clear gel pen on the star, halo and cradle, a bit of watercolour on the baby and background.  I added silver ribbon between the image and the greeting and a little tiny star confetti to the right of the greeting.  I layered this onto dark blue cardstock and then mounted it to my card front.  

For my second card, I watercoloured the background, the cradle and the baby.  I used a clear glitter gel pen on the star and halo.  I added ribbon between the greeting and image and a small tiny silver confetti star below it.  I layered my image onto crinkled foil and then mounted this focal element to my card using 3D foam tape.          Therese
