We Three Kings

I "had" to have this stamp set after Christmas last year as I had a beautiful card sent to me using it and it has layed unused since then so thought I had better give it an airing.  The background is pan pastels (love them for easy backgrounds) The star was a craft stamper freebie,cut out and embossed with razzle dazzle ep, as is the edges of the main piece, I had the EP everywhere,seemed to just fly off onto everything, in fact a friend who came today ended up with a glittery face after sitting at my table and I have supposedly cleaned up since I did the card! A few challenges to enter

    A really beautiful card Joan and the pan pastels do make such a lovely background - must try that myself.
    You glittery story made me smile too as it reminds me of when I taught a workshop making Christmas cards a while back and popped out at lunchtime - people kept giving me odd looks and it wasn't until I got back that I realised I had glitter in a halo round my face!
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    Your card is really lovely Joan, you can't get much closer to traditional Christmas and that image.

    Lovely blending with the Pans as well, they are certainly my favourite medium lately.

    Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us at Stamping Sensations challenge this month.
