One star, one beam—that’s the whole idea behind today’s nativity night-sky card. With a gentle blend of deep blue and a soft yellow glow, the light falls from the heavens and rests on the manger, stamped with the Stampin’ Up!® A Child Is Born S et. In the video, I’ll show where to aim the beam, the tiny sliver of white that makes it shine, and a quick warm-vs-cool coloring trick for the lamb and sheep—peaceful, pretty, and wonderfully doable.
