Miracles of the Holiday

 Welcome, welcome!

I'm back again with another couple of cards.  This time, I'm loving the first card but the second one?  The verdict is still out...

I started with the edger die and cut my panel in two, taping it back together on the back with removable tape.  From there, I stamped, masked and colored with my Copics.  I used WoS on the poinsettia centers for a little shimmer.  From there, I die cut the matching word die twice, layering the white glitter over the champagne, then stamped a sub-sentiment.

Question:  Emmanuel?  Immanuel?  I've seen it both ways, but honestly very rarely with an "I".

Close-up to show the shimmer and sparkle - at a weird angle, sorry...

My second card.... we must own even the ones that are not our favorite, right?  I started with a basic set-up like above, but cut two panels one white, one red at the same time, swapping the white top with the red base.  It was then embossed, and I wanted to ink blend an arch above the cut to showcase the stars I would be adding.  It came out pinker that I wanted, so I switched to a deeper red but ended up blending the whole thing on accident!  Waste not, want not, so I went with it adding stars and the sentiment, all cut from gold foil.  The scripture was then stamped and added down below.  I still believe this would've been better had I left that white arch above the sentiment, using the white scripture panel below.  Thoughts?  I may take this one back apart or redo it completely.
