So Tropical Santa for WWC193

28/10/2018

I'm playing along with the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge again this week! The theme is "All About Holidays" and I've jumped into Christmas for the first time this year.

The playful Mr. Claus in the So Santa stamp set is too cute! For the last 7 Christmases I've lived in a warm climate, but not at a beach. Now it will be officially summer at Christmas, though perhaps not much warmer than Christmas in Arizona. It will all depend on which way the breeze is coming from, I understand. Nevertheless, there is surfing at the beach in Melbourne even if it's not as well-known as at our warmer neighbours to the north,

I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured with Stampin' Blends. I chose a piece of the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper to go with the beach-y theme. The card is 10.5 cm square. Here's the inside:

There are still a few days left to play along...why don't you give it a try?

Super fun card Nancy. That DSp is perfect behind a fabulously coloured Santa. Thanks for joining in the fun at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week. Tristan DT

What a fun card, Nancy! I love that So Santa set even though I live in a cold region of the Northern Hemisphere. The Tropical Escape DSP works perfectly for this image. It makes me think of warm water and waves. Perfect for good old Santa who is holding his surf board, ready to hit those waves as soon as his drink is done. Great colouring, too. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

I love Christmases at the beach! That DSP is a great backdrop. Looking at your fun-coloured beach Santa makes me want to listen to my Jimmy Buffett Christmas album. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
