Today’s card was sparked by 52christmascardthrowdown’s challenge,
where they’ve asked for Christmas cards with no snow.❄️
I immediately thought of a beach scene, as I’ve been making beach cards recently.
This is what came to mind…a favourite Penny Black, Margaret Sherry wooden stamp “Chill Day”.
Luckily I had a scene prepared in my stash, so I stamped the image on it, then stamped it again on white card** so that I could colour it and fussy cut the main elements.
I also used SU Beach Day for the palm trees, seagulls and a few details stamped on the sand.
The sentiment was in my stash from when I occasionally do batch making,
which definitely saves time especially for Christmas cards.
Challenges :

Well that’s a very quirky Christmas card - really fun. Made me smile to see the winter woolies hung up between the palm trees!

Yes he got too hot, so jumped in the sea fully clothed, hung them up and decided to just keep his hat on to keep the sun off his head 😂
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! Made me smile too - such clever use of the stamp combining it with the palm trees and then fussy cutting the clothes. Definitely a clever twist. Love it.

Oh Lesley - what fun! That PB stamp is one of my most loved here, and not used enough. Too much stash and not enough time. LOVE the tropical background!

Hello Lesley, love your card. It's such fun and here on Scotland's west coast where palm trees grow well, it's only too possible we could see Santa's suit hanging on the line. 😀 Thank you for your comment n my post yesterday - it's much appreciated. Elizabeth xx
