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

Krafty Chicks #743 - CAS

NBUS #68 - Never Before Used Schtuff
