I stamped the penguin image onto 80lb. Pure Luxury White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then proceeded to color him with Copic markers. To color the penguin I used E29, E49, E43, 0, and then added just a dot of blush to his cheeks with R20. His scarf was colored with YG95 and toned down with W-3. The sky around him was colored with G00 and B00 before blending out with 0. I colored the ground with W-1 and W-3, blended it out with 0 and then added some “pebbles” at his feet with W-1 again by making little dots. After I finished coloring him, I cut him out with one of my Labels 2 Nestabilities dies.
I stamped the snowflakes from Rupa Shevde’s “The Magic of Christmas” stamp set onto kraft cardstock using VersaMark and then added some flourish stamps from Autumn Leaves. I wrapped the bottom of the craft cardstock with chocolate ribbon and then adhered it to the Kiwi Kiss cardfront.
The penguin image was mounted to the cardfront with dimensionals and then I stamped the word “Thank You” from Rupa Shevde’s “Home Tweet Home” stamp set. For a little more contrast, I added a brown button to the cardfront secured with a glue-dot.
