Musical Penguin Parade

Hi There! Today I'd like to share a Christmas Card I made using Top Hat Penguin - RLF005 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps), Trumpet Penguin - RLF006 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Flute Penguin - RLF002 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). Musical Wishes - GLL014 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) was chosen for the sentiment. I just love these adorable penguins and couldn't resist putting them all together to create a musical penguin parade. LOL!

To make my card this week, I used Recollections - White cardstock for the base card which is 7.25" x 7". I scored the paper at 3.5" to create the dimensions of 7.25" x 3.5". The red background was cut to the same size using Crafter's Companion Luxury Cardstock - Red. The musical notes layer was cut from Craftsmart - Classic Village at 7" x 3.25". The snowy background was die cut to the same size in length using Recollections - Christmas Inkjet Printable Glitter Paper. I used My Creative Time - Tall Frame Dies, My Creative Time - Tall Frame Layers in order to achieve this. Once the snowy background paper was die cut, I tore along it in order to create the illusion of white snow drifts along the top of the snow. I adhered all of the layers with double-sided tape. Using my large Misti, I stamped the sentiment using Versa Fine - Onyx Black and embossed it with Ranger - Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. Marvy Uchida - Embossing Heat Tool was used to heat set the embossing powder.

I stamped all of the images onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my Misti and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. The images were then all coloured in with Copic markers and die cut using my Brother Scan and Cut machine. Then I ran all of the images through my Xyron Creative Station to make them all stickers. I placed them on the card and then used Stickles - Diamond to create some snow drifts. Clear - Wink of Stella was added to the Candy Cane to make it sparkle and also to all of the leaves and holly on the hats.

To complete the card, I edged all around the scene with Stickles - Sea Glass.
