Dude.....Is that a Christmas Card?????

I have a couple of unconventional Christmas cards to share!  I made them as samples for a friend of mine who's office is looking to purchase Christmas cards.  Their company is a Hawaiian based company so of course, I had to use my Verve, Relax set!

For the layout of this card, I TOTALLY CASEd my fellow Diva, Jen Tapler!  I LOVED her card HERE!  The base is Kraft CS with a mat of True Black.  The bottom portion of the card is Baja Breeze and then I added a strip of some OLD Bo Bunny paper and then on top some OLD Basic Grey paper.  I stamped the surfboards on both patterns of DP, Pure Poppy CS, Eggplant CS and Pumpkin Pie CS.  I then made the "sand" which is just Kraft CS torn and sponged with Antique Linen ink.  I then added the surboards, faux Christmas lights (misc. Stickles and a black marker) and the sentiment, which is from Verve's Ornamental Christmas.

Here is my second card which used the SAME Verve stamps ~

This card also has a base of Kraft CS and then a mat of Artichoke.  The "sky" is Select White and was sponged using Bashful Blue ink.  The "sand" is also Kraft CS and again, sponge with Antique Linen ink.  The "water" is K&Co. glitter paper.  The outline of the trees were stamped using Cocoa Memento and for the inside of the trees I used Artichoke ink.  The trunk of the trees was also stamped using Cocoa Memento and then I colored using Copics.  I then free hand added the Christmas lights using a brown marker and miscellaneous Stickles.  The sun was stamped using Black Memento WHICH I have no idea why I used black on the sun or the sentiment because now looking at it, I should have used Cocoa BUT it's too late now!! LOL!!!  The sun was colored using Prismacolor Pencils.

Again, I used the Relax and Ornamental Christmas sets on  this card as well!

I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
