Thank you for stopping by. This is the first Christmas card I have made in 2017. I took a month off of Christmas theme and now I am ready to try to make a few each month and be ready for the holiday when it comes!
I colored my sweet penguin image with alcohol markers and framed him with a cute heart die using a dark grey cardstock. I thought about punching a heart for the penguin to hold, and turning this into a Valentine, but I already felt committed to doing a Christmas theme.
Textured paper was embossed with snowflakes and then I used a pale pink paper for the background. Nuvo Crystal Glitter drops were used as a subtle embellishment.
Supplies: Purple Onion Designs Frost stamp, Elle Studio Sentiment set, Memento and Versafine black inks, Spectrum Noir alcohol makers, Spellbinders Heart Circles die, Martha Stewart Snowflake Embossing folder, Crate Paper Peppermint 6x6 paper pad.
I would love to participate in the following challenges:
Rudolph Days - January
Cards in Envy - Pink and Grey
SimonSaysStamp Wednesday - Anything Goes
