For the past few days there seems to have been quite a theme developing in the cards I've made - clean and simple, no patterned paper, stamping and embossing ... and lots of wise men!
For this card I've used part of a stamp set I bought a while ago and still hadn't inked until this evening 'wisemen ornament' set by Heartfelt Creations. I inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver powder.
The card is much darker irl than on here - very difficult to get a photo with a flash with the sheen of the embossing and the glittery silver strip.
Once again, I was too impatient to bother to wait to press the card under a heavy box where the heat had warped it a bit (must remember to do so before I go to bed).
The tiny silver dots aren't stray embossing powder - they are little flecks of glitter that have now been wiped away.

Here they are again ...
... the three kings. While the stamp was out I thought I'd use it again - Clarity stamp inked with versafine onyx black and heat embossed with clear detail powder. This time I've coloured the image using Sakura glitter and metallic pens. Before I had copics etc I used to use Sakura a lot - I raved about them - but I have to confess that they have been neglected in a box in the drawer. It made a change to use them. The sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado.
It's always difficult to get a photo of a white card - this is the best I can do and, unfortunately, it doesn't show up the gloss of the embossing now the metallic glittery look of the colouring.
This is my first card for A card a day and also for my own CHNC challenge 96: no patterned paper, also for:
