FMS #597 and Peace on Earth Christmas #45

 Jacquie's Sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #597 is so fun - and her
card, and the inspiration at Peace on Earth Challenge #45 inspired me to reach for an older set from Waffle Flower Craft to make my own card - AND add to my Christmas card stash!  How fun is that?

WF The Season, and Greenery dies, PTI Love to Layer: Torn edges dies

You'll notice that Jacquie's Sketch uses vertical and horizontal stripes - I used these stamped stripes from The Stamp Market to indicate them on my card.   How about a closeup of Santa's tattoo...


I was delighted to find a tropical Santa in my stash!!  His sea-shell-boat is a pretty fun substitute for that fabulous sailboat in the Peace on Earth photo!

Thanks for dropping by!

    First off Michele, this is one fun and cool Christmas card! I've never seen a merman Santa before, but dang if he isn't cute! Love your take on the sketch as well and love those soft color and that fabulous palm trees. The sentient is really cute! Hugs, Brenda
