Sparkles Christmas Challenge wants to see snowflakes. Double D's theme is winter and it has a lovely wintery mood board that inspired this card:
Here's the Double D mood board - you can see the colours and snowflakes in the top left and bottom right images.
I placed my snowflake stencil over white cs and sprayed with a Mr. Huey's spray. Trimmed the panel, bordered it with blue glitter cs, die cut three snowflakes from the same glitter cs, and added a sentiment on a stitched banner die.
The Christmas Kickstart Challenge wants "wise men three". The only stamp I could find in my collection has three very small wise men!
Stamped and heat embossed in gold, bordered with gold cs, and a simple sentiment die cut added on top.

Such pretty stencilled bright blue snowflakes and bordered with the blue glitter card and added blue glitter snowflakes over the top completes the look, and a lovely blue inked sentiment banner to finish. I love the gold embossed scene with the three kings on their camels on the second and the gold shimmer cardstock backing it too looks beautiful Susan. Two great seasonal makes. x
