Christmas in July: Santa Mona

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

How fun is this - having a chance to use our Christmas craft supplies in July!  It's Laurie here with a fun card for the holidays and our current challenge:  Christmas in July.  This card uses the Santa Mona
stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the Dear Santa clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda.

I started this by making a collage master board using exclusively Christmas papers.  My master board was 5 x 7 so I cut a section of it down to fit the front of a 5 1/2"  X 4 1/4" card front.  I edged it with Distress Vintage Photo ink and adhered it to my white card base.

Santa Mona was stamped with black ink onto white card stock and fussy cut out.  I colored her in with Copic sketch markers and affixed her to the card front.  The sentiment was stamped with black ink onto a white square, edged in red ink, and placed at the bottom of the card front as shown.  Final touch was adding a white pompom to her Santa hat.

We look forward to seeing what Christmas-y projects you can create for this challenge and encourage you to post them here on the Portal for a chance to win some free stamps!
