I made this card to welcome a whole flock of penguins to the Calgary Zoo. A traditional gift for a newcomer to Calgary is a white cowboy hat. It is hard to find penguin sizes!
I used a Tommy Hilfiger jeans paper bag for background as well as woodgrain embossed crumb cake paper.
I used the Blossom Petals Builder punch for the hat, Decorative label, Word Window and Modern Label for the arms and feet. I used the corner rounder on the black body and the tip of the bird's wing punch for the beak.
I hand drew and cut the neck kerchief.
This makes a smaller sized penguin so you could fit two or three on a regular sized card.
