Skipping Stones Design offers a really cool stamp set called Wisemen. It is perfect to use on those projects where you want to convey the true meaning of the holiday. I started my card with saturating some watercolor paper with a mixture of blue inks and spray and after letting it dry I stamped the wiseman in black ink and the star in white. I added some glitter to the star and wrapped the card with some May Arts Raffia ribbon.

Following a Star
"Soon after Jesus was born, wise men were traveling on their camels; one
night they noticed a very strange star in the sky. They knew that this
star meant that the King of the Jews, the One who would save the world had been
born...The wise men left to find the
baby. They didn't know exactly where the baby was, but at night they
followed the star in the east. They followed the star until it hung right
over the very place where Jesus was." ~Exert from here.
