The Three Wise Men - La Pashe

Coming Soon

The Three Wise Men, bringing gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

This is one of the new sheets from La Pashe that will be in a shop near you From Monday 14th September.

Designed by myself and Artwork by Jim Harker

To check where your nearest stockist is visit the La Pashe website.

The back view of the Three Wise Men is equally as rich looking as the front, the sumptuous muted colours of their clothing with gold threads running throughout.

By adding a touch of glitter to these the whole card just pops.

Two Tone Damask

I Started with a white 14 x 14cm card and stamped the damask stamp by PTI over the base card leaving around 3cm clear at the base of the card, I then added the dotted paper punched with a Martha Stewart border punch the the bottom section and tied a matching ribbon to hide the join using the long rectangle Nesabilities Dies I cut out the scallop shape from contrasting card and cut a plain white shape and stamped the sentiment on top.

Attention to Detail...

The Damask Stamp was inked with the Brilliance Aurora ink pad I did it carefully pressing the edges of the pad onto the edges of the stamp and allowing the centre of the stamp to catch the middle colour on the ink pad.

Not even a Mouse

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

How cute please?

Another one of Mo Mannings digi stamps coloured with promarkers , stickles added to the teacup, base card was embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder.

Attention to detail...

I tied a couple of crystal bead strands into the know of the bow and dotted stickles glitter glue onto some of the raised dots.

Choir

I started this card with a red base card and layered 4 x 7x7cm squares of patterned papers on top of the base card, this left a 1/2 cm border on the card, I used the Choir digi stamp by talented artist ~ Mo Manning and coloured it with Promarkers and Copic Sketch Markers, stickles glitter glue was added to the singers tunics I edged the image with a gold marker and matted it onto the same red as the base card I edged this with the gold marker too.

I tied the gold ribbon around the card and tied with a knot, then added the image slightly off center on top of the ribbon.

The piece of patterned paper in the right bottom corner is a flocked paper, if anyone knows who makes it and/or where I could buy more I would be really grateful for the information.
