Is that Santa image not adorable or what?! I love the new Tropical Santa. This week's High Hopes challenge is brought to us by the amazing Crissy Armstrong and the challenge is to create a holiday card in non-traditional colors. I think I definitely accomplished that! As soon as I read the challenge, I immediately thought of this Santa and had to use him.
I stamped my image and then used a nestability die to cut it out. I added the specks for sand and the horizon line using a copic multiliner pen. Then, I colored my image with copic markers. I cut a mat from Taken with Teal cardstock and adhered my image. Then, I added some liquid applique to Santa's hat and heated it to make it nice and puffy.
I cut my card base and all my layers (card size is 6x6). I added some stitching and ribbon. Then, I stamped my sentiment and added my image and some buttons.
I just love this image! Heck, I love all the High Hopes images so it's no surprise! lol Be sure to check out all the design team cards on the challenge blog. Tina is also offering a random prize for the challenge so be sure to join us for the challenge as well. Who doesn't want an adorable stamp?!
Have a great day!
