More Penguins!
February 21st, 2008
You all know how much I love penguins! After hearing all about the Imaginesce booth at CHA themed around tropical penguins I was so bummed I had somehow missed it. Then my friend and club member Debra (dashpaugh on SCS) brought me a sweet little birthday gift of two of their clear penguin images – a girl and a boy! I was so excited!
I decided to do a little More is More pair of cards with the boy pengiun and some AMuse notecards.
Isn’t he just the cutest little roly poly penguin? On both cards I paper pieced his swim trunks. The notecards come printed with the green designs you see. On the *more* version I added some Orange with an image from the Sprinkles set plus I stamped him on an oval and matted with two scallop ovals. I also added some extra ribbon. Ribbon is also from AMuse. The sentiment is from One of a Kind.
Then I needed a super quick thank you card so I made this one with Pun Fun while I had my AMuse notecards and ribbon out on my table.
I colored the sheep with Copics and used the colorless blender pen (or cordless blender if you remember my Christmas story *wink*) to pull off some of the color and give the wooly effect. When I mounted Pun Fun I cut all the sentiments away from the images and mounted them on the ends of the blocks. This makes them very easy to stamp anywhere on a card, rather than just right under the image – also makes it easy to mix up the sentiments. I realize this card is completely opposite of my normal style, but I’m thinking about making up a matching notecard set as a gift following this idea. I do like simple cards as sets.
I have another give-away coming up, but no time to post now…I’m off to work. Thanks for stopping by.
