This card is for the new Alphabet Challenge round - starting today! A for animal which, in my case, is a penguin. It is also for today's sketch challenge - I took the double challenge, and for yesterday's color challenge.
I followed the steps in this wonderful tutorial (did you know Splitcoaststampers has a fabulous tutorial section?! Here is a link to this tutorial: Twist Gate Fold Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
I had the Shaded Spruce panel already stamped with tone on tone sketched stripes. I used the candy cane from the stamp set to repeat stamp on white cs using Cherry Cobbler, I then sponged lightly over the entire panel with Cherry Cobbler.
I wanted my penguin to be holding that cute candy cane which meant I was doing partial die cutting because I stamped and masked it instead of die cutting the two separately. I colored my sled and penguin with Copics and put him on a golden hill - or is that the setting sun you see behind him? You get to decide.
Thanks for the challenges! And thanks for looking!

Super cute! Love your sledding penguin with his candy cane. Terrific card folding. I like how you stamped your own patterned paper. Wonderful use of the challenge colors. Great job with all the challenges. Fun and adorable card!
