I stamped the Palm Tree and Santa on the white days Cardstock with Staz On.
When I stamped Santa, I did not ink the entire stamp because in the stamp he is on a surfboard and those are actually waves above his head in this card/picture.

I took a black coloring pencil to draw the sand pile around the tree and Santa and to draw a towel around Santa's body. I used a sticker of a tanning lotion bottle to put into Santa's hand.

I colored in the sand with a brown coloring pencil and using a glue stick, added some prisma glitter to make it shimmery. I used the same brown pencil on the tree trunk. Using Ponderosa Pine I colored in the leaves on the palm tree and Santa's shorts. I used Holiday Red on the ornaments on the tree and Santa's towel, and hat. I colored the sand dollars and starfish with ponderosa pine, holiday red and buttercup. I also colored the star with buttercup.
I alternated with the holiday red, buttercup, moonstruck and ponderosa pine ornaments on the tree wrap.

I stamped a Merry Christmas stamp on white daisy cardstock with clover meadow ink and cut around it and glued it to some cranberry cardstock and cut around that. I then glued that to the top of the card and stamped the little shell from the Tropical Christmas stamp set onto the piece as well. After gluing it on the card I stamped the sunburst santa from the Tropical Christmas set onto the card and the salutation stamp.

Then I took some glitter glue in yellow, red, green and blue and glittered all the pictures and words. I used silver glitter glue on Santa's hat pompom and brim.
I added liquid glass onto Santa's chest and arms and legs to make him shine.
