On Christmas Eve at sunset, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Santa heading across the sky....
.... but only if you believe in the magic!
For the sunset, I masked off the lower half of the card then punched a circle in scrap paper, reserving the circle, and used it as a stencil to ink the setting sun slipping down over the horizon. blending yellow, orange and red inks. Then I removed the stencil, covered the sun with the reserved circle of paper and lightly blended the same inks around the outside to create the sunset sky.
Then I stamped the scene and sentiment, using stamps from an old issue of Creative Stamping.
I am sharing this with
