Simon says: Vacation


Hello,

So I was contemplating what to create for the new Simon Says Stamp IG challenge - June's theme is summer. And then the SSS Monday challenge asked for vacation and the first thing that came to mind was: Santa. If anyone needs a break, it's him. Right?!




First I cut the second largest My Favorite Things linked chain circle die 4 times. On the inside main circle I used Simon Says Stamp Waves and hills stencil, and also clouds for days stencil as well as the MFT radiating rays stencil along with Distress inks Antigue linen, Tumbled glass and Squeezed lemonade. For shading and detail I added dots with Copic markers.
I stamped 3 palm trees from the MFT jungle vibes and one of the cute santas from Clearly Besotted Santa baby and colored them with my Copics. I cut the images and popped them up in the little scene. while putting this card togther I managed to turn the stenciled piece, shifting my scene. But it still looked OK so I kept it as is. 

I placed it all on patterned paper cut with the largest MFT stitched mod rectangle. 
The sentiment consists of a piece of a stamp in the Clearly Besotted Laugh out loud Christmas stamped in Versafine Onyx black and the MFT sunshine dienamics cut 4 times.




The chained circle and the sunshine cuts are embossed with WOW! embossing HO HO HO glitter. I swear I didn't have glitter in mind for this card, but when I went to find a powder that fit the scene this one just screamed "USE ME"! I wasn't even sure of the color because I hadn't swatched it yet . I just knew it was right!

Copics used:
Sand: E37, E35, E31
Palm trees: E29, E27, E25, E23, G17, G05, YG06
Hat: Y38, Y17, Y08, Y06
Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000
Beard: W3, W1, W0
Glasses: B00
Bathing shorts: RV29, RV25, RV23, C7, C5, C3
