Hello Penquin

Josette here with another card using the soon to be released stamp sets.  This is another penguin, a happy fellow, sending Hello wishes.

This is a very simple card with minimal coloring.  I used copics to shade the inside of the white area on the penguin, this gives dimension.  Colored the feet and beak with Y06.  The hat band was colored with BG57 and BG10. The majority of the focus was on the background.  

First I shaded around the image with C markers, C0, C01.  Then went a little farther out with C2.  Next I added BG0000 and BG 10 to create the "ice".  Swirled B0000 in the "sky" around the Penguin.

Lastly used a glitter pen to outline the "ice" and and add clouds.  A few sequins, and a bow completed the image.  This is a 5.5" square card and the image was attached using fun foam and Scor-tape.

Happy Penguin Card

Josette here.  Have you seen the new stamp sets that are being released next month.  Oh they are wonderful.  When I first saw the promo sheet, my happy dance started when I saw the penguins.  I always look for penguins as my sister just loves them and this one was Perfect.  Remember the stamp sets are available for pre-order and are on sale!!!!
Here is my card:

I used the same "formula" for this one as for my snowmen cards.  But there are a few differences.

Background was stamped, and the snowflakes colored with a gel pen in Silver and Clear Star.  Then the background was inked with Cracked Pistachio and Chipped China.  Lastly was sprayed with water for this wintery mix background.  Double click on image for a close up of the distressing. 

If you look close at the first penguin, when I added the water the ink ran.  No worries, stamped another, colored and fussy cut.  Using dimensional foam popped it over the Watery image.

Add Snow using modeling paste and sprinkled glitter into it while still well..
Added a few sequins, mounted it onto a card, Done!!
