Fun site for the Inspiration Challenge! We're visiting Garden Collage where I found THIS picture. The palm trees got me started on my Christmas card, but I replaced the van w/ Santa.
For my mini slimline card, I colored & die cut Santa & all the palm trees. On the background, I picked an area for the water then used the 2 blue-green inks and a wavy stencil. To get a little variation, I also sponged on a bit of white ink thru the stencil. The stitched hills were die cut & sponged w/ mocha ink then added for the sand. The lt blue ink & a cloud stencil was used in the sky area. The greeting was stamped, all the pieces attached & I added a couple of seagulls to finish it.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog: The Write Stuff
