What: #60 theme is from caroling hymn "We Three Kings"
When: May 12-25, 2023
Card #1 Scenic Night Travel of Three Wise Men Christmas display card=
Notes:
1. sandy color cardstock from Heirloom Harvest cardstock pad by Recollections/Michaels Arts and Crafts

3. We Three Kings illustration from a gift type booklet from Guide Posts
4. pale blush pink alpha tile stickers from Freckled Fawn
5. wide tip blue marker and black ink pad for edging
and
Card #2: The star in the east
Notes for #2:
a. the cadet blue A2 flat card with matching envelope from multicolor set = Darice
b. the black print acrylic overlay panel = Allison Kreft Designs
c. the white with blue Moroccan tile print paper = ? it's old, maybe Colorbok or DCVW; I used a gray colored pencil to cover the white; I chose the print because it made me think of Morocco or other Middle Eastern country tile designs

e. gold glitter star, black marker = stash items
