I cut a piece of Strathmore Smooth Bristol paper to size, as per the sketch, and with the help of my Stamp-a-Ma-Jig, double-stamped the penguin with Onyx Black ink. I colored the beak & scarf with my markers, and used a pale grey marker to shade the skates. I also used a pale blue marker to add some "ice" & shading under the penguin's feet.
I cut a panel of red cardstock for the mat, & heat embossed my greeting at the bottom. I also cut a strip of patterned paper from my scrap stash, and adhered it to a panel of cardstock, before mounting that to my card base.
I felt the white background on my image panel was a little too white, so I used a few small stamps from "Holly's Snowflakes" & Kiddie Pool ink to add a bit of interest. Rather than cut out a mask for the penguin, I just blocked it off as needed with a sticky note. I finished by adhering my image panel to the red mat.
