Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has put me in the Christmas mood with her palette: Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Crushed Curry, with the dessert option of dots.
These colors seemed perfect for my cute penguin, a die from about 5 years ago, that I've used only a few times. Cutting and assembling is pretty straightforward, and I added some sponged Pool Party ink to the scarf, ear muffs and even the edges of the penguin's body, to give the impression of dimension and winter cold. I used a white gel pen for the dots on his eyes, and while I was at it, reserved my dessert with some white dots on his ear muffs.
I combined this focal image with a fun fold design, Standing Pop-Up Card. This card folds flat and fits in a standard A2 envelope.
I hope you'll join us this week and try out these fun, bright colors! See you in the gallery!
