Hi bloggers! An elegant three wise men card is on offer today. I started by cutting an oval aperture in a piece of black card. I embossed it with the
Twinkle Twinkle embossing folder for texture. To highlight the design, I rubbed
enchanted gold gilding polish lightly over the top. I added a white highlight by cutting a smaller oval in white card and adding it behind the original aperture. I added mounting foam to the back to raise the aperture. Next I cut the background of the
Three Wise men die in black card and added a white card behind it. I attached the aperture over the starry night background. I cut the
Three Wise Men in antique gold as well as the star and glued both pieces to the background. I cut several poinsettias out of
vellum and highlighted the edges with
Enchanted gold gilding polish before assembling. I glued them to the side of the aperture and cut some
Holly Swirls in
Antique Gold card to use as accents around them. White, black and gold mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. Leave a comment if you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one! All for now, Sue x

That is a truly stunning card. I love the fact that it only uses 3 colours. The vellum flowers with just a hint of gold are something that I'm going to try, I think they will work for any occasion.

Hi Pam if your able to read the messages get well soon xxxxx
Dear Sue and All Who Lust After This Card,
This one says Christmas without using words, and says it beautifully too. I have a stamp that would be perfect inside. It says: Wise men still seek him.
Can anybody answer me this: Are the aperture and white oval cut with the pierced noble ovals, both A and B sets, to get such a thin frame? When this came out during the release, I didn't realize the outer stars were embossed. They're so nice highlighted with gilding polish over black.
Yet again, the Holly Swirls demonstrate why they get invited to all the parties. They dance so gracefully that the orchestra sounds better.
Lisbeth, I'd love to see how your paper-pieced robes came out.
Maria Alder, glad the procedure went well and the meds are working. Hoping for the same for Pam. Crewe Trish and Rosemary Powell, you are so kind to send love and hugs. Love and hugs to you, too.
Love,
Donita
Hi Sue
What a beautiful card this morning, really elegant, the black and gold work so well together don't they. I have to say the vellum poinsettias are just gorgeous with the gilding wax on them, who would have thought of putting gilding wax on wellum!!! Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam wishing you well, I hope you are comfortable and pain free. Really missing you at the top of the blog, June is doing her best. Lots of hugs coming your way xxx
Maria I hope your op went well too, sending hugs xxx

Hi Sue,
this is a stunner of a card. Elegance personified. Just beautiful and whoever wins this is going to have a very early Christmas.
I love it.
Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue, I think that everything you can say about your beautiful card , has already been said. Black and gold, apart from looking elegant is so appropriate for this Christmas card with the 3 Wise Men. It was a toss up between buying them or the Angel and I bought the latter. Woe is me. I do use the starry background though. So glad your dies don't wear out! Good luck everyone. Hugs xx P Austen
Gorgeous card!
Wonderful colour combo :))
What an elegant card Sue. Will definitely give this one a try. Thank you x
Thank you Sue for such a great card you are giving away. The gold and black are so majestic and elegant and suit the three wise men perfectly.
A very classy and expensive looking card today Sue. Love it.
Hugs Helen xx

I have a 'set' of kings cut from a card received last year and have been wondering how best to recycle them on a card this year and this has given me a great idea. Thank you so much. Your ideas are so special for those of us who aren't quite so inspired ourselves.
Black and gold are such elegant colours to work with and this is a beautiful card to be giving away...BarbaraC

Oh, so elegant. Love how the gilding polish looks on the vellum poinsettias.
Stunning card Sue, so very beautiful.
Hello everyone, I have just come home today so have not had time to catch up but I have missed you all so much, thank you for your well wishes. They cannot operate whilst the gall bladder is so infected so I have been on intravenous antibiotics for 5 days and they have got the pain under control so I can finish the next 5 days antibiotics in tablet firm. I need more blood tests in a weeks time but the stone in the liver duct has moved itself. They plan to operate in 2 weeks. The wifi reception in the hospital was non existent so I could bit get on the blog.
Maureen, I hope you are feeling a little better every day.
Rosemary, hopefully you are starting to feel the benefits of your meds and that the headaches have gone.
Take care everyone especially our poorly and missing friends, it is good to be back.
Sue this a very srunning and beautiful Christmas card.
The black and gold look fab together especially with the star background.
Sorry ladies had to put another blog as we have heard from lovely Pam. So glad they have the pain under control and that you are back home for a bit. Once the op is over you will be "top of the blog" once again.
Meds seem to be working, I have had 3 seziures but were all very mild. I have always suffered from migraines so are used to them now.
Take special care Pam and no cartwheels!!! Sending love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxx
This is just so amazing, so pretty in the gold and black...thank you Sue..luv Ursula xx

Beautiful, stunning, elegant, what more can I say! I love those Kings, havent got any of the other dies but hope to be going shopping soon as I would love to be able to replicate your card. Thank you so much for the inspiration Sue.
A very dramatic card Sue, softened by the poinsettias
Stunning - I don't do the nativity or religious cards usually unless asked for, but I do love the three wise men as a die or image and if I do a card of this type these are my go to images. This die is gorgeous and the whole post is beautiful and classic yet elegant as well...
Very elegant, striking card Sue, someone's going to be a very lucky person.
This card is stunning Sue, although I do not normally do religious cards I would make one like this.xx
Wowser! I love it I have all of the ingredients for this one for a change lol! apart from the Holly Swirls
I've been debating about getting this die, but this card may have just tilted the odds! It's so stunning, as are the others with this die that you've shared--but this is my favorite.
I love this card Sue. It has so much Inspiration and the design is elegant. Great eye candy! Hugs Lori Reinholz
love the backgrounds and the colour combo, so lush and decadent, hugs xx
I am at the beach with some stamping friends crafting. I showed them this post and they all agreed this is a gorgeous card. Love it.

Hello Sue,
I'm a bit late today but not telling off from Elaine late!!! Lol!
I just love today's card! It really is gorgeous! The Wise Men Die is beautiful. I ordered it and it cuts beautifully. I haven't constructed any cards yet using the Die but I have cut them in gold so I made a good start! I love your gold tipped poinsettias too. I think I'm like everyone else on the blog - I'd love to win this one. Thank you Sue!
Donita I have that stamp too!
Carmen - Saba has had a very busy few weeks. She has been sailing and then looking after one of her grandson's for two weeks! She went home a bit tired! I will tell her you were asking about her. thank you!
Pam - how lovely to hear you are home . You have been badly missed here and I know I checked first thing each day to see if you were back at No1 lol! Take care and try not to overdo things . Sending lots of love ! x
Elaine - I've had a quieter day today but kind of full of interruptions! Diane asked me if I'd cleared out the understairs cupboard so that I could put my husband in it!! Why didn't I think of that! Kidding!
Rosemary - glad you feel the meds are helping! Take care!
Love to everyone, Myra, (Friend of Maureen!) xx
Love it tfs
