Surfin Santa - And Relax....

Hello - Happy Christmas !
I have used Surfin Santa as I think Father Christmas will by now be lay on a beach somewhere relaxing after all the manic rushing around. I hope you are all getting chance to chill out a little now that lunch has been served and everyone is a little snoozy!
 

I have used paper from Lawn Fawn Snow days and present paper from Pink Fresh Oh joy and covered the join with red Ric Rac ribbon. I added some Doodlebug enamel dots and a clear sticker greeting from Simple Santa Claus and Co. I die cut the image using a Lawn Fawn double stitched oval and mounted it onto black. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Skin - Ivory, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice. 

Beard - Ice Greys.

Shorts - Powder blue, Sky Blue & Royal blue. 

Surf board - Red & Ruby, Emerald & Lush Green, Lime Green & Pear Green. 

Hope you are all having a lovely Christmas holiday and spending it just how YOU want to!!

Life is better in Flip Flops.

Morning - Today's Dr Digi post is featuring Surfin Santa but I have decided a Santa is for life and not just for Christmas (By the way 169 sleeps until the big day...) I am still waiting for Summer to arrive nevermind Christmas and remain hopeful that a Beach will be on the agenda at some point and not just coloured in my imagination!

 

I cut all the flags from Echo Park I Love Summer collection and mounted the Flip flop sticker onto Black card and mounted them on 3D before I cut the edge of the card around them. 

I used a My Favourite things wonky stitched rectangle die to cut around my image and before I glued this in place I used letters to stamp my greeting.  

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the surfing dude - 

Shorts - Oasis, Frosted Jade & Island Lagoon

Flip Flops - True Blue & Sky Blue

Sand - Vanilla, pinapple crush, Mustard and Sleigh bells. 

Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice. 

Hair - Ice Grey 2 & 4. 

Surf board - Lemon & Canary with Grey shadow. 

Edged in Powder blue.
