Whoo hoo, here we are, again, with another fabulous mini challenge at Catch The Bug, as we continue our Christmas In July celebration! This time, we are providing you the image, and we want you to use it to create a "Tropical Christmas." The sky's the limit on how you interpet tropical. It could be sand, beaches, fruity drinks, the ocean, a pool, or even just tropical colors! Let's see you get "tropical" with us! Hurry over and get your image so you can play along with us! You don't want to miss out on the fabulous prizes from Bugaboo Stamps!
My card, today, is a tropical themed Christmas card, using Tropical Santa - Sand, from Bugaboo Stamps. This is the freebie image for this challenge! Whoo Hoo! He is colored with Promarkers. Of course, his glasses needed to shine since he's stylin,' so I added shine to them with a clear glaze pen. The top left and bottom right corners are embellished with rain dots.
The color inspiration came from this photo, from Just Inspirational Challenges:
