This one was quite a challenge. After cutting the oval from dark blue, I embossed it then brushed the embossed stars with silver gilding polish. The wise men were cut from brushed silver card. After die cutting the sky/stars background, I put silver foil card underneath to highlight the stars. I cut an oval the next size smaller that the dark blue from silver pearl card. The wise men and star were glued in place. I cut another oval from silver pearl but larger than the first so it would give a border around the blue. This was glued in place. The 3 layers lift it up and give it depth. After assembling all layers, I glued them over the wise men and then over a larger dark blue rectangle then to the card. After die cutting the poinsettias from vellum (2 per flower) I inked them with silver gilding polish.
