How I did it

3. I used my alcohol pens to colour in the images, then cut out leaving a small white border.
4. Attach the three penguins in a line on the bottom of the card using 3D Foam Pads.
5. To finish off the card, I added a highlights to the penguins using a clear glitter glue and stamped a sentiment out of my stash to the top left of the card - I used Versafine and clear embossing powder to make it shine.

I hope you have enjoyed making these cards - they are lovely and simple to make but they look so effective.

How I did it

1. I chose the Party Dress coloured ink pad out of the Catherine Pooler minis ink set and blended the top and the bottom of the card blank.  I made the colour more intense on the outside of the card and blending into nothing.
2. I cut a circle with one of my die cuts in my stash onto white stamping card and stamped the penguin wearing the party hat in the middle of the circle in black versafine and embossed in clear embossing ink to give it a shine.
3. Colour the image in using alcohol pens and don't forget to ground the penguin by colouring in a patch under his feet - now he doesn't look like he is floating.
4. Using the Party Dress ink, blend around the outside of the circle to frame the penguin.
5. Cut out a larger circle in a pink glitter card and mount the penguin circle onto this using 3D foam pads.
6. Attach this to the top half of the card blank leaving space underneath where you can stamp your sentiment - use black versafine and emboss this with your embossing powder.
7. Then choose four different penguins from the set and stamp and emboss onto  a separate piece of white stamping card.
8. I used my alcohol pens to colour in the images, then cut out leaving a small white border.
9. Attach the four penguins in a line on the bottom of the card.
10. To finish off the card, I added a highlights to the hat, balloons, presents and camera using a clear glitter glue. 

Watch out for the next one - coming soon.



Part of the Pack

Part of the Pack

Here is my Part of the Pack card that was made using the Part of the Pack stamps by Picket Fence Studios.  This stamp is packed full of stamps - 8 in total and is very versatile.  

I stamped the image onto 6" square piece of stamping card and coloured using Nuvo alcohol pens and highlighted areas with my coloured pencils.  I painted in some green grass using a green watercolour paint to ground the dogs.  I added the sentiment and drew a border around the card with a black fine liner adding crosses in the corners and three dots a little higher up on each line. I then mounted it up onto black and sparkle green card and adhered it onto an 8" square card.

Here is another one I made for a friend leaving work.  I added my own sentiment using alphabet letters and a border stamp from my stash and some green backing paper.
