Merry Penguins

This is my card for this weeks Less is More challenge, the theme is Jingle all the Way!, but it does say 'anything Christmassy' so hopefully my card will be OK.

My inspiration came from a card by Laura Bassen, I have used stamps from Lawn Fawn and also their Stitched Hillside Borders die.


I only had a single penguin stamp and as I wanted the penguins to be looking at each other I stamped onto acetate and took an image from that as well as stamping one normally, I then coloured my penguins with ProMarkers and inked the sky lightly with distress ink.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Less is More Week 199 - Jingle all the Way!
Crafting When We Can Challenge 83 - Clean and Simple
Quirky Crafts Challenge 24 - Going Around in Quirky Circles

Thank you for calling this morning, please leave a comment so that I know you've been and will be able to come and visit you.

  4. These penguins are so versatile and on my wish list Pauline ... they are so popular though every time I look they are sold out :-(
