Three Wise Men Accordion Fold Box 3D Card KitCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

The card parts were printed on C.B's 250gsm matte photo paper and the envelope on 140gsm.

I printed the backing on the reverse of the card back and followed the tutorial sheets to make up the 3D card, adding writing panel and greeting on the back with DS tape,then layering inside and front with 2mm foam and fixed the sides together with strong DS tape.

I previously edged all the cut out edges with gold ink,except the 3 kings pyramage which I edged in black.

To decorate, I added a touch of yellow stickles to the candle flames, then glossy accents, which I also used on the candles, book page ribbon and holly.

I used gold stickles on the candle holder and the inner arch of the window for extra sparkle. A gold organza bow was added in the top corner as a finishing touch. A most beautiful and stunning card for Christmas time.
