We Three Kings.

It was Granmargaret's turn to choose the theme for the Christmas Card Club girls which this time was Nativity. I only had one christmas card front in my used box which was suitable so here it is.
The card front was quite slim just 2.5 " wide so I have adhered it to several layers to produce a card  just under 4" wide. The sentiment is a stamp by Dovecraft  from a set called Tis The Season. The gold stickers corners were from my stash.
In hindsight I think the wording would look better in gold embossing instead of the black ink so I might just redo that before it gets sent .

Another lovely recycle. I like this modernistic image of the Kings, and the matting colors you selected look so nice with the colors already in the 'older' card. I also like the extra touches in the corners too! You always make the design uniquely your own! TFS & Hugs

Hi Mrs A,
isn't it always the case that you notice you should have done something different after you have posted it.
I do sometimes wonder at that.
Why it never occurs to us before we post it.
Love the wonderful scene on this super card and the fab corner.
It is always good for the enviroment to re-cycle and you have made a super make to be used all over again.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
