DIA DE REYES

Welcome to Funky Cards and the DIA DE REYES Blog Hop!

If you arrived here from Dalis' blog you are in the right place.  If you happened here by chance, you may want to head back to the beginning to Gaby's blog to see all the wonderful projects on today's blog hop.

"After New Year's Day, Mexican families still have a very special date to commemorate and enjoy.  On January 6, most of the Hispanic world celebrates El Dia De Reyes, the Epiphany, remembering the day when the Three Wise Men following the star to Bethlehem, arrived bearing their treasured gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrhfor the Baby Jesus." (Article link) 

I was honored that Gaby of Gaby Creates asked me to join her in this blog hop to help her celebrate this special day.  I was asked to make a card or project showcasing the Three Wise Men. 

In this card, I have included a computer generated Bible verse, which says, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?  We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." Matthew 2:2

Since I did not have a digi stamp of the Three Wise Men, I found a free coloring page online 

that included a small picture of the Three Wise Men and copied it onto a Word document.  After 
I shrunk it down to the correct size, I copied it onto white card stock so that I could color 
it.  I added a shadow and stitching for added interest.  Using the star from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge and a few gems to light up the sky, I was able to finish the card:)
