Hello everyone. The July challenge at CAS Christmas starts today and this month’s theme is SANTA.
Since it’s July, I can only imagine Santa relaxing and enjoying his off-season. That prompted me to use Sun Soaked Christmas stamp set from Newton’s Nook Designs (NND) to create this fun card.
On an alcohol marker friendly panel die cut with the Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die from Memory Box (MB), stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink then coloured the scene in with Copic Sketch markers.
The sentiment from another NND stamp set called Christmas Haul was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to finish.
