Christmas Wise Men

Aren't all projects somewhat of an experiment?

That's what today's card is all about. Tattered Lace dies are exquisitely intricate and well made, and the die used for today's card is no exception; it is the Three Wise Men die, and it was cut, then the separate pieces were spray painted with silver, gold and copper.  The background is made of black cardstock with two layers of silver-flecked tulle, used here to resemble millions of small stars in the sky. The foreground piece is also black cardstock and is glittered with Martha Stewart large glitter flakes, which resemble snow. The wise men are staggered on the front of the card to show depth; after they were attached more of the "snow" glitter was added. The star was cut from a Cricut Teresa Collins December 25th cartridge and was Versamarked with ink and heat embossed in silver. A small clipping of pop dot elevates the star to make it more prominent.

Here is the card:


Wish my iPhone caught more of the sparkle, but it does not. This is an attempt to show more of it:

Romans 10:9-11
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT 


Acts 13:38-39
"Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do."  NLT
