Today I’m posting my first Christmas card of the season. I
am using the adorable Peeking Friends stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs.
This is the same stamp set I used for the Fox card I made last week. Both
images were water colored on Strathmore Hot Press watercolor paper.
I colored the penguin using Distress Inks and the No Line
Coloring Method which I seem to be addicted to lately. My other addiction is
shaker cards and for this one I used the Stitched Banner Duo 2 die from Pretty
Pink Posh. I filled it with a bunch of confetti, seed beads and of course
Pretty Pink Posh sequins that I mixed together myself.
I kept everything in a red and white theme to match this fun
background paper from Papertrey Ink Sparkle & Shine Paper Collection. I
used the matching stamp set to add the star bursts to the tag.
The greeting is from a set called Merry Greetings from Mama
Elephant. How cool is that font? Add a
black Chevron ribbon, a couple of rhinestones, some Wink of Stella Clear and tada… A penguin holiday card
fit for anyone on your holiday list. And if you did it in a different color
scheme and popped a different hat on the penguin it could be a card for just about
any occasion.
I am starting to figure out how to link you to the products I mention. They are located at the bottom of the post. I don't have any affiliates set up yet but will inform you if I do.
Oh, and hopefully it won’t be long until I start making videos. So if you want to know when that happens please subscribe to my blog.
I would love to hear how you like the blog so far. Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions or just want to say hi!

ReplyDeleteHi Jean. Dave just built me a stand for my phone so I can make video's. I plan on doing no line coloring video's but thought maybe I should start with something easier. LOL I'm still working on my technique. But hopefully soon!
DeleteBetter start with something super easy for me! Call me when you can, I broke my cell phone and lost your number.... Love you!
