Wise Men Still Seek Him (2)

I am on a roll with making Christmas cards. Seems it is what I want to do right now, and all other creative juices have stopped flowing. And that's okay.  :o)

In keeping with the first Wise Men Still Seek Him card I made in an earlier post, I used the same format from Microsoft Publisher to make the inside and back of the card. The same sentiment stamp is also used.

I cut out some little wise men from gold glittery paper. The layout needed to have a gold backing piece on top of the basic white cardstock, but I did not want to use a big chunk of my expensive gold paper for that, so I just spray painted a piece of white a gold color and used that. On top of that is a piece of black cardstock. In order to simulate a dark night sky on a starry night, I first sprayed the black cardstock with sapphire blue glitter blast glitter spray (Krylon). Then, for more iridescent sparkles of many colors, I sprayed the piece with spray glue, then sprinkled on some fine iridescent glitter (Stampin' Up). First attempt on this failed because I used little dots of glue (not glue dots!) randomly around, but they did not look good at all, so the second attempt using a light spray of glue, then sprinkling with glitter worked better. It looks like the night sky is filled with the sparkling wonders of the stars, but the only star the wise men were interested in was the one God had placed in the sky to guide them to the Christ Child. The sentiment pretty much says it all, don't you think.

Here is the card:

Romans 10:9-11
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
