I edited the cut using Cricut Design space and chopped of part of the card. I wanted to make this just a card front. Then, I used a sponge and started at the bottom with the lightest color. I worked my way up going darker as I went, making sure everything was blending. This is super easy to do and has a large impact!
Next, I stamped the sentiment in versamark, sprinkled embossing powder, and heat embossed the sentiment. The stars are made using a white pen. I just randomly made little dots, some larger than others.
If you have an Explore, here is the file: Artfully Sent O Holy Night card file
If you are sans Explore, I cut it out at 3 3/4".

Melanie, this is just beautiful. I love how you sponged on the ink and blended it. Very artistic! very dramatic with the black silhouettes. Amazing card!!
Beautiful card! Am going to try it. I hope this means you are feeling better.
Like the Nativity card. This BEE is happy to know that the CTMH new cartridge is now on the Gypsy. Updated my Gypsy yesterday and will order the new CTMH cartridge possibly in Dec.
