Happy Monday! I started my crafty day today with this tropical Santa card. I masked and inked the sand, water, and sky, with Distress Inks, then colored the stamps from Newton's Nook's "Sun Soaked Christmas" set with Zig Clean Color brushes. I added little green coconuts to the palm trees and a thin strip of Christmas striped patterned paper to part of the sides and across the top. The card base is Gina K Designs heavy weight card stock.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Your cards are always funny, I am sure you made many people's day with your creations! Santa at the beach is such a fun idea! If he is watching from there, tell him I was good ;) Thanks for playing with us at the Inky Paws Challenges this week and hope you join in the fun next week too. Hugs, Zsofi
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful! As someone who celebrates Christmas in the heat of summer, I think this card is perfect. I love the little stockings and gifts under the palms and the sentiment is wow! Thank you so much for joining us at The Paper Players.
