Christmas in July

Hello!  Did you know that Santa stays at the beach in July? At least that is where he is on my card!  I used some very old stamps to create this beach scene with Santa.  My background was stamped with Flourishes Beach Life set from 2010 using Memento Black ink and colored with Copics.  Santa standing in front of the Palm Trees with a Hammock is from a 2012 Mark Finest Papers set.   I framed the square image with Pattern Paper that has squares in the design from my stash.  Finished with Cheery Lynn die cut sentiment and card base of red card stock.
Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

    Great combination of stamps to get Santa to the beach! Love the choice of the tartan paper that echoes the square of your main panel. Lovely job of the combined Retro Rubber/Double Trouble challenge. Thank you for playing along with us at Retro Rubber.

    Ha! I agree, I think Santa totally lives at the beach in July. I would if I were him! Cute card, love the tartan background, making your santa stand out even more. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber. Claire DT

    Love the plaid background and your Santa at the beach image is nicely colored and hopefully he gets in his bathing suit and rests in the hammock...he's got a busy day ahead of him, well six months away anyway. Adorable and fun card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Retro Stamps.

    What a fun card! Your Santa scene is fabulous but my favorite feature is the tartan paper. (Are my Scots roots showing through?) Thank you for playing along at Double Trouble Challenge #32.
