Editing to add this is one of those need to see in person cards...the script over the gold is lovely.
I don't know if I should thank you or cover my ears, Jeanne... the Santa Claus Boogie song...I'd never had the privilege, where have I been? Stuck in a desert.
The colors I used were Maura's choice for the Color Challenge 614. Just beautiful.
I brought animals to the challenge. This is my first 'real' kissing. The Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous solid camel stamp is perfect for using the Reflections images of script, numbers, or sheet music. I inked the camels with the Galaxy Gold ink and then stamped a sheet music over the top. The transfer is very clear.
Next i fussy cut a mask for the camels and wise men so I could stamp the Wordsworth 'Names of Jesus'. It was embossed with Seafoam White. A Gold star illuminating the way and a bit of black and gold braid along the left side.
Thank you for taking a look. This is part of the December VSN challenges Holiday Movies & Music. Check it out, there is still time to participate. I appreciate your comments.

Beautifully done Christmas card, Susan. Like how you "kissed" the Magi with the musical pattern for an amazing effect. The sentiment turned to the vertical makes a bold statement.

I've heard of kissing cousins but never heard of kissing kings. I love the kissing kings, this gave such a great texture to the camels and kings and the pop of white with the scripture. Lovely card.
