Santa was spotted over the Serengeti :-)

Welcome back crafting friends. My apologies for the delay in putting up this post. I was on vacation for the last 10 days and only today realized that I forgot to schedule this post to go live on the 1st of August.  But as the saying goes ... "Better late, than never", so here is my card for the August challenge at Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round, hosted by the Gingerbread Gals.

August Challenge ~ Warm Colours

Prize ~  please visit the CCAYR blog

To help you choose your colours, Deanne, our fabulous DT Leader, came up with this colour wheel.

So using mostly the oranges and reds, I came up with this card.

Let me tell you ... the sunsets over the bushveld, on the southern part of Africa are the most luscious of all sunsets.  There are no words that adequately describe the warmth, the vivid array of colours, the mood and the serenity that happens during those moments of just sitting there and watching the sun go down. I have such wonderful memories of sitting on one of the many private game reserves around the Kruger National Park and experience one of Nature's most beautiful moments.  So I tried to bring one of those wonderful memories onto this card.  And, no, I've never seen Santa fly over, but I would imagine that if I had, this is what it would have looked like :-)

To create the sunset, I used various inks from Memento.

Stamps used to create African scene - GinaK.

Christmas sentiment stamp - Creative Expressions - CEC839

Santa with sleigh die - Cheery Lynn Designs

Black card stock - GinaK.

Orange card stock - GinaK.
