Hi, Friends.....
I just received this fabulous STAMPlorations - Three Kings stamp set as a prize. (THANKS, Shery!) I rarely tear into a new stamp set right after receiving it, but I love this one so much that I had to!! :) I was playing with my artsy backgrounds and chose a particularly colorful one to do some simple line stamping of these Magi. This piece was leftover from a sprayed background I made for this Laurel Burch card.
My starry background was one I made a few months ago when I was using gesso for this project. I had some leftover that I didn't want to throw away.....so I splattered it over several colors of dark cardstock. This is one of the black ones. I added a sprinkling of gold star confetti to the sky, also.
Supplies used include:
STAMPlorations - Three Kings by The Bee's Knees stamp set
Versafine ink in Onyx Black
Leftover backgrounds from my stash....one sprayed with different colors of Dylusions sprays and one splattered with gesso
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set (for background panel)
Gold star confetti from my stash
Core'dinations/Darice solid cardstock
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my artsy and non-traditional colored Christmas card. I liked this one so much that I made two of them to get my stash replenished for next Christmas!
🖤
Janis

This post has everything going for it. Hilarious cat card up top, beautiful night sky background, lovely stamped image and an artsy, spectacular design that had me oohing and aahing! This modern CAS image of the three kings really lends itself to a unique treatment and you just nailed it Janis. I love the glowing colors against that dark background and will have to experiment with making a starry sky like this.
