Here is my take on this challenge.

\

It is July that means it is time for Santa to enjoy the last 

moments of vacation before heading back to the North Pole to get ready for the holidays.

I used to tell this story to my kids when they were little and is the idea for this card.

this card is started by stamping and coloring the Santa from 

the Surfing Santa Stamp set by Sunny Studios

I thought this was a good idea, because this would be using the obvious 

summer colors in the background, and I wanted Santa to stand out.

My next step was to sort out the color order of the paper I was using from the

Sunny Studio Classic Sunburst 6x6 Paper Pad.

Since the paper pad is 6x6 that limited the size card I could make.

I went with 3 ¼ wide so that I could use the Box Card Boarders Wafer Die by Simon Says Stamp.

I love this die! Using the Dark Blue Diamond Paper and the w

ave edge die I create an ocean for Santa to surf.

The yellow sunburst paper became a background.

The orange sunburst paper and my Nesting Circle Dies created an endless summer sun.

As I was assembling the card, I realized there was no place for my palm trees.

No problem, an extra piece of Neenah Desert Storm Card Stock sprayed 

with Picket Fence Distress Spray and the wavy Box Card Boarders Wafer Die, made a cute beach for my palm trees.

To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment on my sun and 

embossed with white embossing powder.

Assembled my background beach scene to a card base made

 with Banana Yellow Card stock and added in my palm trees.

Finally, I attached Santa to the front of my card with fun foam and adhered on the drops of water.

 And that completes my take on HELLO SUNSHINE
