Bugaboo Christmas in July - Day 7 - Photo Challenge

Today is Day 7 of the 2018 Christmas in July Bugaboo Challenge. The theme for Day 7 is  a Photo Challenge.  See here for all the details.

 I choose Bugaboo's  current ( July 27,2018) Friday Freebie as my image   and coloured it  with Prismacolor Markers. I used Copics for the flesh tones. My wonderful background paper is from a paper pack I bought at Michael's  (  Cardstock  Carton- Marble).   The background to the Santa image was  hand sponged to give the appearance of sky,ocean and sand. I added some rhinestone for added interest.

Thanks Bugaboo for another wonderful week long Christmas Challenge!!

Christmas in July 2016 - Beach

Bugaboo Christmas in July 2016 day 6. Thursday Challenge Photo Inspiration. The photo was a beach scene so here is my take on it. IRL the Merry Christmas stands out a lot more than in the photo, now having said that I wish I had darkened it before gluing it down.  I could not find my brayer so I sponged the background, think it turned out OK.

Stamp: Bugaboo  digital stamp "Tropical Santa - Buried
 Dies: die cut sentiment from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Poinsettia Strip by Cherry Lynn Designs,  Holly flourishes?
Other: red and  green/blue half pearls
