We Three Kings

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Before I need to dig out that roasting pan and start cooking, I've got another
Christmas card to share.


After stamping the Three Kings in black and embossing with clear powder, 
I went to work on the background.

I used a piece of acetate that had come in a stamp package and blended ink along the
edge while tipping it in different directions.  I hadn't used this technique in a long time.
I don't know why because it's a fun technique and makes an interesting background.

There's a star on this stamp, but I masked it (and the frame) while stamping and used
the mini Northern star stamp that I got with the Wise Men.  I was able to place
it right where I wanted it and I used gold embossing powder to give it a glow.

All of these stamps including the sentiment are from my NBUS box.  I'm trying to use
all my Christmas NBUS before buying any more.  I can't say that I've succeeded as
this joined my NBUS box quite recently.

Challenges:
Christmas Kickstart #92 - Wise Men Three
NBUS #68 - Never Before Used Schtuff
