We Three Kings Christmas Card

 Happy Monday, hope all is well with you.
I have a very simple CAS Christmas card to share today. I stamped the Creative Expressions Follow The Star DL stamp with Versamark on deep blue linen-textured card stock, then heat-embossed with white powder. Trimmed it down and layered it on a white Recollections card stock base.
Inside, I used Blue Belle Versafine Clair ink to stamp these Hero Arts sentiments.
My stamped and circle-punched siggie on a thin strip from the front. Simple.

A couple of close up shots to show the white embossing powder on the Quickutz linen-textured card stock. Even after liberally applying the anti-static powder, lots of stray powder but you know, I brushed off what I could and just went with it. I actually think it looks pretty good in a rustic way or like it's stamped on linen, which it kinda is. 
😉
And one last look.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day!

Love the white-on-blue combo, Aimeslee! And the linen texture gives it an old-world feel, which is perfect.

The white embossing looks so nice on the blue background, such a lovely Christmas image. The "extra" white creates a nice feeling of snow and cold, love it! Thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks!

That's so effective to stamp onto the blue linen card. Great idea. Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts 14th birthday challenge.

A beautiful CAS Christmas card, the white embossing looks lovely on the textured blue cardstock, the 'stray' powder looks like part of the design.

I'm commenting on the TIOT blog this time. I somehow missed this pretty holiday card. Blue and white are just lovely together. I like the stray powder as it almost makes the sky more like a Van Gogh sky. It's a beauty, and thank you for sharing it with us at AJJ. hugs-Erika
