Now...here is my card...
I used We Three Kings. I stamped with SU! Not Quite Navy ink on SU! cardstock, and matted with River Rock and Not Quite Navy for the base. I colored the images with Prisma Pencils (camels and kings) and then lightly used my pastel chalks to create the background. I added some gems from a bling snowflake that I cut apart for the star. I think this is the most CAS card I've done in a long time! LOL! It's totally flat and mailable! At Christmas, that's what I'm looking for! LOL!I am entering this in the Twist of Faith #8 challenge - Animals
I'm so thankful for the birth of the Christ child! That single event changed the world forever, and gave all who would simply place their faith in Him a hope and a future!
From here you will hop to the talented and sweet Lori!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Blessings,
stunning, Grace!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
ReplyDeleteYou always do such beautiful card but this is really stunning! I love the colours you've used for the kings - all the blues rather than lots of different colours (as they're usually done) seems to have really thrown the emphasis on the fact that they're looking at the star - and this really shines with the chalking and the gems! Wow - it all stands out perfectly on the matting. Excellent card!!!
This is gorgeous Grace!! I love the Wisemen all dressed in blue! And your sand is pure perfection!! WOW!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card...Love your shinning light...
ReplyDeleteThis card is fantastic! I love the card itself and your coloring is beautiful. (Do you give lessons on how to color skies and big areas? I am in need of help because I can never seem to get my big skies to look good.) I hope you have a wonderful day and are having as gorgeous weather as we are on this side of the mountain - around 78 this afternoon. I am going to enjoy it while I can!
