First, stamp the images onto white cardstock.

Color them in (using any preferred medium) and trim out.

Trim a piece of watercolor cardstock for the background.  Add color using Spectrum Aquas and a waterbrush.

Add Easy Tear Tape again, diagonally.  Vary the sizes as needed.

Gently peel off the release tape and press down (silver side) onto the Aqua DecoFoil.

Adhere panel to a standard card base.  Add palm tree using a Tape Runner.  Add the Santa using 3D Foam Squares.

Trim off a piece of white thread and add to the front of the card.  Heat emboss the sentiment and add over the thread using 3D Foam Squares.

Simple right?! Remember, this is a quick and easy technique to use to create a custom background with stunning results!
