Today's card is a Summer-themed card, but made using a Christmas stamp called 'Snowboard Ride' by Penny Black. He usually wears a Santa hat, so I masked that off before I inked the stamp, stamped it onto watercolour paper. I drew on the top of his head using a black gel pen, before carefully cutting him out. For the 'sea', I took a piece of blue watercolour effect paper (from the 'Happy Watercolours' pad from The Works) and trimmed it to the width of my card base, then tore it a couple of times to create the white 'surf', then layered them up at the bottom of the card blank. I added a stamped sentiment (using a stamp from the 'Anytime Messages' set by Hero Arts), then placed my snowboarding surfing chicken on the waves.

Great idea masking off the Santa hat as it works really well for a summer card and perfect for our current Allsorts theme, many thanks for joining in.
