Ok I said the Christmas word and we are only in June! But it feels a lot like Christmas here in Melbourne, it's winter, it's cold today and raining..
On the up side... cold + rain = more craft time, there is still lots we need to do in the garden but it's a wee bit wet at the moment.
Another plus is that I have my first Christmas card made, I don't send that many anymore but most of ours go to the UK.. and they need to be posted at the end of November.
So here is my first non traditional card for the season..
Yes Santa arrives on his surf board here in Australia LOL..
This "Deck the Palms"stamp is by Sweet Stamp Shop, its such a cute stamp I couldn't resist using it for some of my Australian cards...
I stamped the image using a hybrid ink as I was using my Copic markers to colour this. I used nuvo glitter drops for the lights in the palms trees and and nuvo clear drops on the glasses. I've also added wink of stella everywhere, well you can never have to much glitter can you LOL and of course some gold washi tape. The sentiment also comes from this set, and lastly the sand is Hero Arts Sand embossing powder, I am just loving this stuff!
Hope you like this card, I'm going to enter this into the challenge over on
