Krafty Penguins

Hello everyone, I actually ended up in my craft room working on design team cards and I ended up making an extra card so I decided to share it today. 


I started out with a square piece of kraft cardstock from Michaels. Love that it comes in heavy weight for card bases and lighter weight for card fronts. I used the negative of a circle mask and moonlight white Brilliance ink pad to ink up the circle and snowbanks for the scene. Stamps are all by Tracy Evans and they are all part of one set: Winter Delights available at Simon Says Stamp or Topflight Stamps  in the US, or directly from Tracy Evans shop if you live overseas. 

I used a white Posca pen for some "snow flurries" and added glitter to the trees and snow. Since the kraft card front was very CAS I decided to use my scoring tool around the edges.

I would like to share my card with these challenges:


 


Hope you stay warm! It's getting a bit better over here, finally not below -20 degrees (celsius). It's still below freezing but I'll take it :)

    What a cute stenciled and stamped scene! Those penguins are so cute as are the trees. You created such a realistic snowy scene on the brown paper. I am glad you like scene-building because you are great at it! Thanks for sharing this with us at Time Out!

    Your lovely scene looks really good on Kraft, by coincidence I was working with it yesterday. I've always loved these Penguins, mine are the A&C ones but seem to be identical now she is solo.
