I used Brushed Gold and Neenah Classic White cardstocks for this card, heat embossing the large cross outline on both the focal point (a rectangle cut using the Spellbinders Classic Plain rectangle dies) and the brushed gold envelope. The background is simply scored with my Scor-Pal. (Tutorial found here: http://debbiedesigns.typepad.com/muse_and_amuse/2008/01/how-to-score-a.html ) I used Swarovski irridescent crystals to accent the cross, as well as a gold paint pen to enhance some layers.
