Surfing Santa

Hi everyone,

 

It’s Tuesday and it is time for a new challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges.

 

This week’s challenge is being hosted by Cindy and it is Heat Embossing.

 

How long has it been since you did some heat embossing, well now you can get out that heat gun and join in the fun!

 

Now on to my card, well my first idea did not work :(

 

Although my second attempted proved better :)

 

I used the Surfing Santa image from the Happy Christmas, Mate stamp set which was stamped on Whisper White card stock with VersaMark ink and embossed with black embossing powder.

 

Real Red ink has been added to Santa’s hat and swimmers and a little blue colour to the waves.  The blue colour is Pacific Point.

 

I wanted to add a little bit more to my card, so I experimented with embossing on the Silver Glimmer Paper and it worked.

 

I stamped snow flakes from the Snow Swirled stamp set with VersaMark ink and then added some black embossing powder.  I cut the larger snowflake out and the smaller snowflake was punched out using the larger circle from the Builder Owl punch.

 

Not that you would see any snowflakes when Santa is surfing here at Christmas - I like the added touch of glitz.

 

The DSP that I have used is from the Letters to Santa pack and the base of my card is Marina Mist.  The Christmas sentiment “Happy Christmas, Mate!” has been stamped in Basic Black ink.

 

The layout of my card has been inspired by the current sketch at Sketch Saturday.
