sunny Santa...


This is how I picture Santa after the big night!
Laying on a beach to relax but still thinking of the next year and who is naughty or nice.
The base card is white card stock with a layer of black card Stock.
The main piece is white card stock with the “snowflake sun” punched out with Martha Stewarts large snowflake punch.
With scrap paper and an MFT Die-namics “Stitched Snow Drifts”  die I cut it to use as a mask for the background.
On the top I sponged Distress Ink faded jeans and the bottom with frayed burlap.
On a separate piece of white card stock I sponged Distress Ink mustard seed to lay behind the main piece.
On another piece of white card stock I printed the Bugaboo Stamps “Tropical Santa Suntan” and colored hime with Prismacolor pencils before cutting him out with scissors and gluing him to the front of the card.
To finish I stamped the sentiment, unknown company, to the card front using MFT extreme black hybrid ink.
