Tropical Santa


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!

  4. 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
