There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #606

Hello Friends!!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #606 is a THEME CHALLENGE-PENGUINS.

We have a sponsor this round-PJ MOORE ILLUSTRATIONS. This shop donated the adorable image, Penguin With Balloon, that I used on this card. 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for Challenge #606:

I colored in my image using colored pencils. I attempted to get a bit of texture on the penguin with my coloring but I am not sure that I achieved what I wanted.

I added some purple pattern paper from my scraps to the card base and cut the white card panel with an angle at the top before I added it to the card.

Since the penguin was holding a balloon, I decided to create a birthday card. The sentiment was originally a long strip that I cut up and then randomly adhered to the card using foam adhesive. I wasn't sure where this card was going but I LOVE how it came out!!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #606

 Hello Friends!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #606 is a THEME challenge-PENGUINS. We have a sponsor this round-PJ Moore Illustrations!

PJ Moore Illustrations generously donated the Building Friendships digital stamp that I used on my card. I colored in the image using colored pencils. Isn't it so cute?

As you can see, I did not use the color scheme from the Challenge Badge. Instead I decided to make a Christmas Card with more traditional colors.

Once I colored the image, I die cut it out using a Mama Elephant rectangle die. I then went through my stash to find pattern papers that matched the colors I used.

I added die cut snowflakes from my stash that I layered in between all the layers of paper. To complete my card, I added a few clear gems. I LOVE how this card came out and it was so fun to color!

I used the Gathering Stitches Etched Dies and the Faux Embroidered Pumpkin Etched Dies for this creation. I have fallen in love!! 

Years ago I used to cross stitch and these dies just brought out the memories for me.
