Three Kings of Orient

No, that's not 'Three Kings of *Leyton* Orient' which is a soccer team from North London that several of my friends follow!!!

The current challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge is to use THREE of something. Well, call me old-fashioned, but one particular Christmas 'threesome' sprang to mind!


The images are by Francoise Read for Woodware and I have had them for ages - unfortunately, they don't seem to be available any more. I coloured the Kings with Promarkers, I hope you can tell that one King is African, one is Caucasian, and one oriental. They have all been cut out and mounted on foam pads for dimension. I added Glossy Accents to the gifts and gold Stickles to their robes and crowns - and to the Star over Bethlehem.

The papers are from Hobbycraft, I think it's their 'Vintage Christmas' collection, but don't quote me, as they are all loose in my 'Christmas box'. I cut the tan paper to look like hills and used Distress ink in Antique Linen, then distressed the edges with my scissors. The sentiment is heat embossed.

I'm entering this card into Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge

Thanks for looking!

I like Woodware's Image...Three Wise Men from three different parts of the globe is an interesting thought.

Great card! The pretty blue background paper gives the impression of sky!
