Christmas cards featuring metallic background paper, ribbon and a digital nativity image

For this set of cards I chose a metallic gift wrap featuring holly for my backgrounds.  

For my first card, I layered the background to a red card front.  I used a clear glitter gel pen on the star and the baby's halo and a bit of watercolour on the cradle and baby.  I added a silver ribbon and a tiny star confetti next to the font greeting.  I layered some red and green cardstock to create a layer for my image and then mounted it to a crinkled foil.  I simply ripped the edge of the foil for an organic look before mounting the image onto my card front using 3D foam tape.

For my second card, I added a length of ribbon to my card after adhering the background using double sided tape to adhere the ends to the inside front of my green card base. The nativity image has the star and the halo finished with clear glitter gel pen, the cradle and baby with watercolour and silver ribbon and tiny confetti near the font greeting.  I layered it onto red cardstock before adhering to my card front using 3D foam tape.     Therese
