ANY HOLIDAY..DT..

 Hello everyone,

Time for the last challenge of this year for 613 Avenue Create and the theme for this month is...

" ANY HOLIDAY"..optional of course..

Over here in New Zealand we are right smack bang in the middle of Summer, so a roast is not on the menu..BBQ'S....Salads...prawns...fish....strawberries...all that yucky stuff..just kidding, I love food in any shape or form, hot cold or otherwise..

The other thing I love about Christmas over here is fun at the beach..and Barry is here to show you..


After printing Barry I needed to add with my pencil, very lightly, a line to define between the sand and water..


Then painted the water in, side strokes, back and forth and let the brushstrokes show...


Above that I added the sand up to an imaginary line..and then they looked like yellow mountains [sigh]


But I loved my sky with the soft clouds..


We do not have palm trees here in New Zealand, but I needed to stop the sand from looking like a hills, so die cut and coloured palm trees..


Before adding them I wanted to liven up the sand so added dots with my markers....


Then pencil coloured Barry..look at his water wings, too cute.


Then found my white pen from Heaven..this pen is too much for foam on water,
 I LOVE this pen..added loads of dots with it..




Then the palm trees were added, which I think made the sand look a bit flatter..


Goggles all glossied up..and spade blade to his hand[ paw]


And Stanley came to visit and poop on the sign post, no manners at all, and seagulls we have plenty off on our beaches, especially when food is on the table..

Also added a deck chair, bucket and a beach ball, made and coloured these myself..
and the starfish is real.


And there we have Christmas in New Zealand..


So do come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by.
I will see you tomorrow...

Luv CHRISSYxx

I enjoyed reading this post Chrissy- you do make me laugh :) That Stanley definitely has no mannedrs at all! It's difficult to imagine a Christmas with sunshine(difficult to imagine sunshine at all today- it's so dark here!) and beaches and barbecues but I love your card and how you've built it up. xx
