Heart of Christmas week 2 - Surfing Santa

Hello stamping friends, we’re back with week 2 of the Heart of Christmas.

This week I am very excited to be sharing a project I made using new products from the Sept to Dec Catalogue. This catalogue is only available to demonstrators at the moment, but it is available to everyone from the 4th of Sept.

To make this card I used the cute new Surfing Santa stamp set. I love this set, I think is much more appropriate for Australian Christmases than snowflakes.

I coloured the image with Blends Markers and then cut out the image with one of the Stylish Shapes dies. The colours I used are listed bellow. To cut out the greeting I used a square from the Stylish Shapes dies and first cut two sides and then re positioned to cut the second two sides, as shown below.

I tore some strips of Coastal Cabana and Summer Splash DSP and layered them randomly on the card front.

For the stitched square that Santa is mounted on I stamped the wave a couple of times and then cut out a third one. I stamped off each wave in Coastal Cabana and then re inked the lower edge of the wave in Coastal Cabana for a two toned wave. Across the top of the stitched square piece I used a Blending Brush to add some Balmy Blue ink as the sky.

Apart from the stamp set, all of the products I used to make this card are listed below. The Surfing Santa set is available from the 4th of Sept.

Now for more Christmas inspiration it's time to see what my wonderful stamping friend Christine Blain has to share with us. Prepare to be amazed!
