There's a new challenge up at Inkspirational - #353 Designer's Choice - I'm the designer this time and here's my challenge.
I was seeing Christmas stars!
I just LOVE these Three Magi dies from Spellbinders, so much detail on each one! Their outfits and faces use the same die for each Magi, but the beards, crowns and gifts are different. I wanted to give each one a different skin tone as well. The set also includes 3 stars. I just used the largest one in the top right corner. Since I had all the colored card stock out - I die cut enough to make 4 cards while I was at it! (Yes, it took me a while!)
Did I say I LOVE these dies??!!
Inside, I stamped "Let the star guide your heart this Christmas" (one of the four stamps that comes with the die set.
The DP is Ink Drop - Vivid from Craft Consortium (remember when these came out a few years ago and they were all the craze? or was that just me?! It's still available - google it!). Some of the pieces have marbling in gold which I used here.
The large star is from the Magi set - the small stars are from Honey Bee. Two of the Magi and the large star are up on foam dots. I layered the DP over a piece of Metallic Gold paper. My card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".
So please join us and create something for my challenge - "Seeing Stars"! You'll find lots of creative inspiration from the rest of the DT over at Inkspirational.
This challenge will end on Nov 7.

This is marvelous! That is a great set of dies and I like that you gave the magi each a different skin tone. I've got a few Christmas carols in my head now!
What a beautiful card, Julia! You have done an awesome job of making each different and that background is gorgeous!
The finished effect is really great. Lots of tiny pieces with those dies. Hope none go missing. Great idea to use that paper for the background too xx
Beautiful card Julia. Love the gorgeous marble background to show off the three wisest men and those beautiful sparkly stars! xx
Such a fabulous card Julia - love the three Magi and perfect for our N for Night theme at Alphabet Challenge

your three wise men look wonderful against the marbled northern lights background xx
Oh Julia...your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I love your Magi and all the wonderful colors, and that Craft Consortium dsp is just perfect for this card! (And yes, I do have a bunch of that dsp and pull it out every so often...stay tuned till Dec. and you'll see what I did with it for an upcoming challenge!!) Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful choice of background paper! I love the Magi die - they look totally different when you change the colour scheme on each!
Wonderful Magi with star, Julia - love that DP too (I hoard it...)! Congrats on being the featured designer - hope to play!
Love the beautiful background and all the wonderful colors on the die cuts.
I too love those magi - and you have die cut and assembled them perfectly - with an absolutely fabulous background paper. Thank you for joining us at The Alphabet Challenge xx Lynda/Loopyloo DT
This creation is PHENOMENAL Julia!! I love the way you went with star and was curious about your dies (couldn't wait to read where you got them)! Love your DP too...it's STILL all the craze, in my book!
