Frozen Penguin Greeting

  I love Christmas in July! I have a lot of Christmas cards to do every year and doing cards in July gets me started nice and early! I will also be making cards till the last minute because I have added more people to my list but that is a me thing. I have a lot of friends and family who love penguins so I need a lot! of Christmas card featuring them. 

My first penguin Christmas card for this year features "Frozen Fun" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. He just makes me smile and I love that High Hopes has so many penguin stamps to choose from - I think they are now all on my wish list!

After stamping my penguin on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured him with Copic markers and cut him out with a circle die. It is hard to see in the photo, but there is a touch of silver Wink of Stella on the snowflake tips on the bucket. 

Using a Fiskars circle cutter, I cut a piece of card stock to size to go behind him. Next I got my A2 size card base and laid the stamped image on it. 

I didn't want to keep the whole circle for my design so I decided how much I wanted to cut off the edge and cut the card stock piece as well. Patterned paper from an old pad from My Mind's Eye worked well for the background. 

Next I cut a second piece of patterned paper in a strip and trimmed it to the size I wanted for the design. Some silver trimmed matching ribbon was cut to size and added to the strip. I stamped and sized the sentiment, glued it down and added some enamel dots for the finishing touch.
