Three Blokes on Camels

Hello.  Welcome.  My crafty space is a mess and cluttered with UFO's.  So I have decided to focus, grab some bits and put them together.  I am hoping today will be a record day for posting.  Best laid plans and all that stuffing.  So I'm getting the ball rolling with a quick and simple card featuring three blokes on camels.  And the colour blue.  You can't go wrong with a bit/lot of blue.

I cut a panel using Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die and stamped and embossed using cobalt blue powder.  The stamp is Crafty Individuals Three Kings of Christmas.  Then I sprinkled turquoise brusho on the top and ultramarine for the sand, spritzed with water and moved the colours around with a brush.  A quick way to get a watercolour wash.  I stuck the panel onto a dark blue base.  I think the colours are much more intense in the real.  I rarely do quick so maybe, for a change, I might make a few of these.  Maybe in different colours?  It's a thought.....

Thanks for dropping by.  I'm going to do 5 minutes of putting things away before I tackle the next UFO.  That sounds do-able doesn't it?  Hugz

    Your embossed Wise men look wonderful against your pretty blue skies. I think you should do more as these have a very hip sort of feel to them!

    Thanks for taking part in the September Rudolph Days Challenge.

    Now I get it... Obviously been working non chronologically through your posts and wondering about the UFOs!
    A monochromatic card is excellent for Christmas mass production and with nice stamps (such as the Crafty Individuals) this is all that's required. Lovely!

    Oh, my goodness......I LOVE this card.
    LOL @ 5 min of cleaning up. It takes me longer than 5 minutes to even decide which of the millions of things to put away!! Ha. I haven't been able to craft on my actual craft desk for weeks.....since the fires....so I have taken over the kitchen table now, too. :) It's so much more fun to craft than to organize......
