Rejoicing in Christ

Oo, what a dramatic landscape sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #687!
I immediately went digging through my landscapes stamps for this one.  But then I had a thought - what about if the landscape was already printed on the background?  Like in, say, my all-time favorite Enjoy the Journey paper?  I could turn the sketch to give myself more room!  While I was digging through the retired stash for that, though, I got totally derailed when I spotted my almost-as-beloved O Holy Night DSP pack.  Sold!  For my "shapes" below the landscape I could do camels or something!  Then I spotted my Night in Bethlehem stamp set from 2019 - and I settled on the holy family with their donkey and a shepherd for my two "shapes."  And then I realized I could emphasize the landscape by inserting this desert cityscape to the horizon line of the DSP - my mind was on fire, lol.  Anyway, this card is the result of all of that, and I LOVE it!
