Christmas card with the three wise men

This by the light

Of the same star

Three wise men came

From the country far

To seek for a King

Was their intent

And to follow the star

Wherever it went

Well, this song was in my mind with Bing Crosby's voice when I was making the following card.

When I first saw the Wise Men Thinlits die, I knew that I wanted it and I knew exactly that I wanted to use it with the Swirling Stars (from the Halloween release) and not with the Snowy Stars (from the Christmas release).

First of all, I cut out the wise men from black cardstock, then I chose one from the Sizzix Rectangle Framelits die set which has the perfect size.

Then I positioned the wise men to see where I could cut the stars. When I found the best place I cut out the stars.

After this, I started to blend different blue inks and a little black from the edge to the middle. I used Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Chipped Saphire and Black Soot.

These photos were taken in the evening with another camera this is why you can see a difference between the colours of the final and the process photos.

When I was satisfied with the colours I spattered the background with Brushed Pewter Distress Spray Stain.

Then I attached the wise men to the bottom.

I placed and attached my card to a little bit bigger glitter paper (Deco Sheets) and then to a little bigger black card.

With the glitter paper behind the scene, my stars can sparkle.

And the perfect text is from the unfortunately retired Small Talk sticker book (Occasions).

I hope you like it!!! Thank you for stopping by!!!
