Summer Christmasses are more concerned with keeping cool and having fun outdoors. I love this stamp because it says what it's all about for us here in NZ. Swimming, sandals, sunhat, sunscreen ... you know - "slip slop slap"
I used cool colours, a reverse tree and background to make it feel cooler and put a subtle sentiment peeping out via an embossing folder swiped with ink. The image is embossed, coloured with Reno pens and some bits have Wink of Stella to give a bit of twinkle.

the tree is branded Stamp-It, an Australian company I believe. I have had it for years so don't know if they are still around.
