On Christmas Eve

 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
