Congratulations to my sweet friend and fellow team mate for SugarPea Designs Cathy Preissing aka corysnana1, today's FeaturedStamper.
I cased THIS cutie. Yes, I took some liberties with my case. I made my card off of Cathy's image panel, making that my entire card. I used designer paper at the bottom instead of white for snow, I used the same images and sentiment as Cathy but omitted the trees and kept it CAS stamping the sentiment on my card base.
To make him holding the cup, I had to stamp two of him, cut off his bottom right side so the cup would fit under his left wing. I cut out the cup and added shadows to it with Copics and popped it up under his wing. His left side, I colored and popped up on top of his whole body.

Why didn't I think of stamping two of him, Lisa?!? You are brilliant! I could have saved myself some trouble with the craft knife cutting his flipper!! I love the CAS look here. The penguin is perfect as the focal point of the card and the blacks you have all around and pop of red are fabulous together. You are so sweet to choose me and then CASEing a card . . . well, I feel like a queen! Thanks for the fun week ahead, Lisa! Hugs, Cathy
