Even though Shelly, our Featured Stamper of the day, called herself a Dork on her card -- Call me a Dork by papermoon04 at Splitcoaststampers , I wanted to CASE it because I thought it was lovely. I did keep the same bg stamp -- French Flair -- on the square cs, but the things I changed were:
I used red and green rather than her blue and orchid.
I used the wise men rather than the angel. And I popped up the image.
I changed the sentiment.
My ribbon is less dressy.
The wise men are colored using Prismacolor markers, except for the gifts, which are done with glitter pens for some sparkle.

Lois, I love the rich jewel tones you used for your version. So much better than the dork Easter version in November! I am adding yours to my favorites because I want to color my wise men like yours soon. Thanks for playing today!
