Three Wise Men

Hi all - I'm playing along at Christmas Kickstart #92 where the theme is Wise Men Three. I went with a stamped image of the Wise Men approaching Bethlehem:

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card;

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Hobby Lobby Star of Bethlehem

Stamps - Stampendous Nativity Christmas (c2014 retired)

Dies - AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

WPlus9 Scalloped Joy Tag (NIB)

Press Plates w/dies - Spellbinders Merry & Bright Sentiment Strips

Other - various inks; Copic Markers

I started by stamping the scene image on a piece of Neenah white. Ink blended the sky & sand with various inks. Stamped the coordinating sentiment. Colored the buildings with E Copics and added some gold to the star. Die cut with a stitched rectangle, matted in white & added to an A2 card covered with sky striped paper. Added a diecut Joy and a Betterpressed sentiment strip from my sentiments box. I have JOY dies from many brands, it took a while to find that it was from a WPlus 9 set!

I'll also add my card to Merry Little Christmas Challenge #59 where anything goes. And to the November We Love Stamping Challenge where the theme is Christmas or anything goes.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!
