JDS-Santa's Holiday

Mid month for Jan's Digi Stamps:
 
 
Santa's Holiday was so fun to create with.  I ink blended
a beach, an ocean and sky, stenciled clouds on the
sky.   I colored Santa and added glossy accents
to his drink and some glitter to his cap and sleeve trim
before fussy cutting and added him to the beach. I
added a sentiment from this set and now I am wishing
I was in that chair!
 
Join the challenge and see what my teammates have
created at: Jan's Digi Stamp Challenge.  Check out

Haha, I laughed out loud at Santa having a wodka martini on the beach, Donna! I'm going to remember this and smile every December 26th! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

What a great beach scene - and looks like Santa is enjoying his drink. Love the glitter on his fur trim. As hot as it is going to be this week I think I will just stay at home vs. the beach.!!!
