Add on top of other base texture

The whole cube has the “Gold” texture, but I want to add a glowing “Letter” texture on top of it on only one face. “Letter” is using an image texture which has a number on a transparent background.

However it did not work as I wanted. The second material seems independent. That is, it is not drawn on top of the first material. How can I make the second material be on the first material? Can I add the first material to second material and then mix the two?

The way you have it set up, the second material acts like an independent material because it is an entirely different material.

Is this what you’re looking for? If it is, I just assigned the gold texture to the whole cube, brought in the 7 texture, and plugged it into the emission slot.
