I used the Christmas text background stamp from Uniko, stamped it with Versamark ink then covered the top two thirds in silver embossing powder, leaving a roughly diagonal line at the edge of the powder, shook it off then covered the rest with gold powder, sprinkling a little into the silver area to create a blended edge rather than a hard border, before heat embossing the whole lot.
It's a pity my silver powder is shiny and my gold is sparkly, as it makes it very difficult to take a photo where the two show up equally well, so you'll just have to take my word about all the sparkle in the gold area!
