Kukla Christmas

Hello Nomad friends.  It's Christmas in July over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and the team are sharing awesome seasonal inspiration so we can take a break from the heat of summer and get a jump on the Christmas makes.  I was going to use Lost Coast Designs Santa Mona, but then I spotted Carmen's Veranda Kukla and decided to borrow Mona's hat for him to wear!


Love this cute little guy!!  I used Kukla and Lost Coast Designs Santa Mona's hat, coloured with Promarkers, added glitter glue to the hat fluffy bits and fussy cut. My background is Lost Coast Designs Arches and Doors Background, inked it up with Prickly Pear and Library Green archival ink.  I used yellow watercolour paint to colour in the doorway.  I added Kukla and his hat and also a Christmas Wishes sentiment from Lost Coast Designs Party Words set.  Kukla, the hat and the two sentiment layers were all white scraps.

 
You have until 23.59 PST on the 31st and don't forget to follow us so you don't miss anything!  The team will be posting more inspiration throughout the month so hop over and join the Christmas In July fun!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

I remember Kukla from my childhood, Gail! He and his pals, Ollie and Fran were so much fun to watch on TV - in black and white, of course! The colors are so bright and festive against the gorgeous classic background. Thank you for playing along with us at Double Trouble #143. -- Melanie R.
