Skiing Santa

Howdy - MichelleO here today and ---- It's Christmas in July at High Hopes Stamps! But I think someone forgot to tell Santa about the Plan - He is still out on vacation, it looks enjoying some water skiing! he he he - I just love this "Skiing Santa" too much fun! 

I decided to have a little fun and non traditional Christmas colors and use red with the ice blue - Matching up my coloring of Santa and the Water with my Copics (colors below)  - 

Found a scrap of a red dot pattern paper, then some Coredinations cardstock with dots as well! All my layers are sewn down and the a great sentiment to have more fun with Santa enjoying summer... High Hopes Stamps "Think Snow" Especially funny here in Texas as it has been 100 degrees for a few weeks now! I'm more think I'll stay in the air conditioning!

Now Santa's Hat needed some fluffing so I used Nuvo white pearl paint and then added more to the water for those white caps - with some Nuvo glitter for the sparkle of that cool water. Love how that came out. Looks wet! 

Copic colors used -

Fun image to color up - and great for a Christmas card that is different and in the warmer weather! 

To see all the fun image at High Hopes Stamps - pop over to the web store HERE and you will find lots to have fun with no matter what the subject! 

Thanks so much! 

 

Skiing Santa

Hello High Hopes Fans!

I have my last card in this months Christmas in July series.

I was running a little short on time last night so I decided to make a flip card.

They are so quick and easy to make with a Sizzix Flip it Die!

For the image I used Skiing Santa.

Here it is when you flip it open.

The sentiment is Bold Seasons Greetings.

The holly stickers are Jollee.

The patterned paper is from a 6"pad by The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

Here is a close up look.

I colored the image with colored pencils and blended with blending stumps and gamsol.
