Hey, hey!
I've been wanting to take this wizard from the Impronte d'Autore Always Believe in Magic set and turn him into a Father Christmas image for almost a year now, really ever since I got this set from Crafty Purple Frog, who has a nice selection of Impronte d'Autore clear stamp sets. Besides giving him Christmas colored robes, the only alteration I made was to sketch in the staff and lantern that he is holding. I think he definitely captures that old world charm as he makes his way through the snow on this Christmas Eve night. I don't know what it is, because I have plenty of actual Christmas stamps still waiting to make it onto cards but it is especially fun to take a non-holiday stamp and turn it into a magical Christmas card like this. :)
Stay crafty my friends!
