Seasons Surfing Christmas Card

So this is my second christmas card for the year. What do you think??

 

The stamp sets used are "Season's Surfing" and "Happy Christmas Mate" (for the sentiment). The stamps in both sets are line image stamps so they lend themselves very well to colouring. They take on a whole new perspective when you colour them in. I don't know that I would want to mass produce these for Christmas though because the colouring takes some time - even though it is very relaxing!

 

Oh no!! I have just noticed  - I  forgot to do Santa's shorts! DOH!!! Was going to paper piece them. Never mind, he still looks OK!!

 

Card Recipe:

• Jolly Holiday DSP
• Whisper White , Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso and Watercolour cardstock
• Basic Black ink, Assorted markers, Early Espresso Ribbon
• Lots Of Tags Die, Oval Large punch
• Non SU: Diamante, Oval & pendant dies

Thanks for stopping by & happy stamping!!

Hi Lynn, just found your blog when I was looking for images of how to use this stamp set and came across your blog and wow, just love the cards you do. They are so beautifully put together and love your colour combinations and lovely clean pretty line. Love how you have used this cute cheeky set. Our son does a lot of water skiing so that was the reason I bought the stamp set and it is nice to have something not so traditional. Your colouring of this is fantastic.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments Rel!! I like this set also and have been playing a bit lately with watercolouring. It is very relaxing and really makes a difference to the image!!
