Surfing Santa Cards with Leanne and Isha

Hello everyone! It's Leanne here to share some holiday card inspiration with a tropical twist. I have combined my focal images with a fun striped background for a simple but festive scene.  

This card is A2 size. I created the striped background with the Frilly Frames Stripes Die. I die cut the frame from white card stock and the layered it over a panel of soft red card stock. I love a good candy cane stripe for the holidays. Next I Copic colored all the stamped images. Santa and surf board are from Surfing Santa. 

Copics used: YG11, YG13, YG18, E40, E41, E43, E44, R32, R35, C1, C3, E00, E02

The little island is from Tropical Scenes. Palm trees are from Seasonal Trees and Sending Sunshine. To finish off the card, I used the greeting included with Surfing Santa and white heat embossed it onto a small die cut speech bubble.

Hello everyone! Isha with you today sharing a no-line watercoloring card featuring the Surfing Santa stamp set. I am so happy that we have this set with summer theme Santa :)

I started by stamping the bigger palm tree from the Seasonal Trees stamp set onto watercolor paper using Antique Linen Distress ink. I bend it a bit more towards the left. It's so easy to manipulate the clear stamps a bit. I then marked my water, sand area roughly and started coloring the tree. 

I then created the background. Now stamp the smaller palm trees from the Surfing Santa stamp set. Again, I bent them as per my liking and added color to them. Stamp the Santa onto a watercolor piece and color in. I then die-cut the image using the coordinating dies. Apply puffy paint to the Santa hat fur and heat set.

Stamp the sentiment and emboss using WOW! metallic platinum embossing powder. Adhere the Santa image using 3D foam. Adhere this layer to a kraft card base.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a nice day!
