Using tempting turquoise, marina mist and night of navy ink refills I brayered some backgrounds to create two different star of light cards. Both feature heat embossing with white embossing powder, copper foil, starlight thinlets and star of light stamp set.

Detailed santa thinlets, subtle background text printed on cardstock, paper piecing and basic stamping was the main components of today's card.
If I was to make this card again, I would print "Happy Christmas" for the background text instead of the "Merry Christmas" I used. I had already stuck all elements in place before I stamped the sentiment and I tried to not let it bother me to much but being a type A personality it is driving me crazy!
