Samantha’s Penguin Christmas at the Beach

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

We are looking for fun and festive holiday projects for our Challenge 128 – Christmas in July! Time to get a jump on your holiday crafting and enter the challenge before Sunday, July 17 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how this challenge inspires you!

Samantha takes the holiday fun to the beach in a whimsical card featuring Penguin Party and Christmas Fishes!

The penguins are celebrating a festive holiday on the beach! Samantha built this happy scene with Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape and Simple Stitched Wavy Borders. Instead of snowy details she colored the hills, igloo and snowman in sandy colors and replaced the traditional Christmas tree with one made of seaweed from Christmas Fishes. Then she added the sentiment from Joy to the Woods to finish this Christmas in July design!

Thank you for this delightfully whimsical inspiration, Samantha! It’s such a fun idea!

Let’s see what our wonderful Design Team was inspired to create!

Jessica was inspired to create an alcohol inked background with the look of cool water! Those pops of red from Happy Hibiscus are so stunning!

Samantha‘s sweet scene uses the inspiration photo as a starry sky! She combined the Den Sweet Den bears with stars and a telescope from Super Star then she grounded the scene with a large cloud from Unicorn Picnic!

Christy‘s Toadally Awesome birthday card is a total delight! She incorporated the colors of the inspiration photo in the Simple Stripes: Landscape background!

Gorgeous alcohol inking creates the perfect backdrop for Caly‘s Christmas Fishes design!

Joyce brightened up the inspiration colors for her whimsical underwater scene! She used Slimline Tropical Leaves Border to create a fun environment for the mermaid, Duh-nuh shark and Ahoy Matey treasure chest!

Karin was inspired to create an amazing birthday card! She layered a gold metallic Giant Happy Birthday greeting over an alcohol inked background; the gold flecks bring it together! She finished the card with some happy toucans!

Samantha inked up a charming underwater scene for the little critters from I Like You (a lotl)! She added cool details to the water using Bubbles Stencil!

Jenn‘s colorful mermaids are waving hello on a gorgeous alcohol-inked backdrop!
