The quote on the card is from my all time favorite children's Christmas story by Berkeley Breathed, Red Ranger Came Calling. I read this story to the children at my school every year, and had parents thank me for helping their kids to believe in Santa for one more year. Maybe because I love this book so much, the card didn't quite match my expectations - better in theory than action. I used a blending brush to color the sky, but wasn't thrilled so splattered some white acrylic, but found it was too watery, so faded away. Added white Stickles, which helped. Positioned the card to evoke a storybook .
