Hello Winter!!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a Christmas CAS card using Penguin Tag - SDG003 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Hello Winter - FDG007 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Winter is now here and these little penguins couldn't wait to start enjoying it.

I'd like to take this time to also wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 5.5" x 4.25".  I cut the background paper from Craft Consortium - Polar Playtime to be the same and attached it directly to the base. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry was used to ink around the outside of the card. Using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the image and sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock. I coloured in the image with Copic markers and the little berries with a Pental Sunburst Metalic Med Gel Pen - Gold. I used Sakura Glaze - Black and Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was used for the eyes and little dots on the hat.) Clear - Wink of Stella was applied over top of the candy canes and candy cane border. Once this was all complete, I fussy cut around the image and then coloured in around it with Copic B01. I ran the image through my Xyron Creative Station and attached it to some Hot Pink cardstock. Once again, I fussy cut around the image and then popped it up on to the card using U-Line double-sided tape. Lastly, Gelly Roll Sparkle Pen was applied to the little blue snowflakes and dots on the background paper to finish off the card.
