Pat,
The textweight has enough stiffness that it stands up well. I did do another prototype with blue vellum as the backing. I loved the look of the vellum, but then I had to rework the back to give it a more finished look and didn't want to cover up the vellum. I love the look but it just doesn't have enough stiffness to hold up the the top just sortof droops over. So I just scratched that idea.
I did put some different size rhinestones, mostly the really tiny ones and just stuck them in different places in the "sky" and it really made the card look so much more beautiful. Not a whole bunch, but a few here and there. I don't remember if I had the larger rhinestone on when I took the picture, but I put one right in the middle of the Star of Bethlehem.
