I recently saw the Christmas Kickstart challenge to use a penguin, so I pulled out a stamp set by Penny Black that I've never inked up and made this. The penguin and his scarf are all a solid color so I stamped it once in black and then again in blue. Fussy cut the blue scarf and earmuffs, then added a sentiment by Momenta. I also fussy cut some snowflakes from a different sheet of patterned paper from the same DCWV stack.
I am also patting myself on the back for actually using ribbon for a change! I broke out this spool of cute ribbon by Recollections and added a little bow. The scalloped border was made with a border punch by Stampin'Up.

ReplyDeleteSo cute. Love his earmuffs. Thanks for joining the fun at The Christmas Kickstart challenge. Hugz
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness...fussy cutting those tiny earmuffs and scarf would have driven me into the Antarctic Ocean!! (Or Southern Ocean or whatever they call it now....) You did a fabulous job of keeping them intact instead of cutting them into tiny pieces (either accidentally or out of frustration!), which is what would have happened if I attempted that feat of skill and concentration!! This is such a cute image and the fussy cutting was well worth it. Super cute and the plaid background gives such a sweet cozy look to the winter blues. Yay for usig ribbon!!!
