Surf's Up Santa

Hello fellow crafters!  It's a Dr Digi post :o)

I know....another Christmas card, but I have a big list.

I seem to forget that some people never have a white Christmas.  In fact, it's summer time in Australia.  I grew up in Illinois where snow was plenty and there was always a white Christmas.  Thank Goodness that's over!  I have been in the south for almost 16 years now and snow is not seen too often.  In fact, people start freaking out over one little snowflake, and don't let them drive...that's scarier.  I don't really miss the "white stuff" and it's just too cold.  Okay, I'm getting old and don't like to be cold...enough said.

Anyway, how about this Surfin' Santa for some beach bums.  I thought this card would be cute as a postcard style, so I stamped a postmark above the image and used a postcard die-cut. The image was colored with my color pencils.  I sponged some ink for the background.  The sentiment is part of the Christmas Sentiments Sheet at Dr Digi.

Cowabunga-Ho-Ho-Ho!!

thanks for looking and reading :o)
