ODBDSLC257: Metallic Colors

Good morning!  Thank you for stopping by to see my card for this week's Metallic Color Challenge at ODBD.  I started by embossing in white this month's new release Sing Choirs of Angels on black card stock.  I trimmed it down and matted it with some gold card stock, white card stock cut with the pierced die from the Flourished Star Pattern die set and then another layer of silver card stock.  All that on top of a black card base.  Yep, I used all the colors in the challenge!  But I needed a splash of red to make it a Christmas card.  So I added in the corners poinsettias using Peaceful Poinsettia and Fancy Foliage out of bright metal foil sheets.  I love the additional touch of color and shine.
