Stamp the Bethlehem skyline 2x in Encore Gold ink onto white cardstock, then heat set with Ancient Gold embossing powder and cut with coordinating die.
For detailed color application, use the Stack and Store daubers and Dove Blender pen along with the following inks to color. For the little angel, use the Rose Coral and Rich Cocoa ink. For the shepherds use Danube Blue, Bamboo Leaves, Desert Sand, Rhubarb Stalk and Rich Cocoa ink. For the Christmas message, use Rhubarb Stalk ink. For poinsettia and holly leaves, use Rhubarb Stalk and Bamboo Leaves ink.
Use the poinsettia shaping mold to shape poinsettias and leaves. You can see a tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE. Assemble 2 of the medium poinsettia and 1 small poinsettia. Pierce a hole in the center of all 3 poinsettias and leaves, then thread the gold stamen through, using hot glue to attach. Trim off excess wire from the backside of poinsettias. Use the shaping stylus to shape the shepherds and angel.
Attach everything onto card as pictured. Use Dries Clear glue to add a touch of gold glitter over the flowers, leaves and rest of card as desired.
