This image is a digital stamp from Bugaboo called 'Tropical Santa' and was a freebie for this challenge. I coloured the Santa with Prismaclor markers and decorated the layout with designer paper, some beach accessories and a 'Merry Christmas' sentiment. I created this card for the Tuesday (am so far behind) challenge at Bugaboo which is to create a Christmas card with a non traditional image: See here for all the details!

this just makes me giggle. What a fun Christmas card! Your colors, papers and design and a perfect combination.
ReplyDeleteThis photo doesn't do the card justice Glenda, IRL its so much brighter! Love the Santa and flip flops, lol! What a great down under Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a briliant card love that Santa is buried in the sand and he has flip flops! lol must be great to get out of those boots! A really charming card and your papers and flourishes are spot on as always, a really lovely card. Vee xx
ReplyDeleteSeeing santa on the beach looks a bit inside out for a European - we think it looks very unusual to celebrate Christmas in warm climate! But the card is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating with us at Crafty Ribbons this time and don't forget to look at what there's to win on our Inpsitarion Blog during the Crafting for Gold-days!
