A Waddle of Penguins

Aloha!

I was late finishing a group of penguin cards, but loving each one. Aren't penguins just precious to look at? Even the way they walk makes me SMILE! This one is holding hot cocoa with five marshmallows floating on top. And he's wearing a dottie sweater.

The penguin and scene is a digi image designed by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps. She has a large collection of penguins and many other cute critters.

The card bases are stamped with VersaMark then heat embossed with a sparkly embossing powder. I colored the scenes with Copic markers and color pencils. I also stamped and colored the envelopes with a little girl in a parka and narwhal. It was very pleasurable to color these while watching old movies or listening to books. Let's see if I can be on time with summer cards :P

Hi stamping friends,

Isn't he a cutie? He's from Gina K. Designs, "Penguin Joy." I used cardstock, pattern paper and ribbon from GKD.

I colored and used inks by Memento. The ear muffs are Liquid Applique with heat tool to puff them up. I added sparkly snowflakes and ice, even his beak, with the Stickles Diamonds glue.

The sentiment label is Spellbinders Deckle rectangle, and the back of it is pattern paper cut with a Fiskar's scallop-y type scissors. Focal Image cut with Spellbinders Labels 16. Add rhinestones.

Does the pattern paper kinda look like nighttime with snow falling? That's what I was imagining :)

Thank you for stopping by and looking!!!
