Holiday Penguin

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

 Good Monday Morning!

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!

No Line Coloring Fall Fox

Since this is my first blog post and I have no idea what I'm doing I will be very surprised if anyone besides me and maybe my friend Jenny will actually see this post. But here is to new adventures!

I created a card I would like to share. I'm not sure if I'll figure out how to link products or do anything except type. Now to upload the picture...

Woo Hoo, I did it. Ok, now for the deets.

This was my first attempt at no line watercoloring using distress inks. I loved how it turned out. Here is a close up of the fox:

The adorable fox stamp is from a set by Gerda Steiner called Peeking Friends.
The acorn and leaves are from a set by Sugar Pea Designs called Nuts About You.
The dies are various dies from Lawn Fawn and the awesome Storybook 1 die from Pretty Pink Posh.

Well, that's it. My very first post. If I like blogging I will improve the appearance and hopefully make it a place you want to visit again.

If anyone who reads this has a recommendation for someone who can make this blog look snazzy on a budget please leave me a comment.

Thanks for visiting.
