Time To Be Jolly

Hi crafters!  I thought it was time to share a penguin card with you!  Isn't he a cutie!  I started with the Falling Snow mask taped to a piece of coconut white card.  I used Stellar Ice Luna Paste through the Falling Snow mask for the appearance of snow in the background.  I peeled the mask off and set it aside to dry well.  Next I made a multi-layered square frame using the Double Stitched Squares and coconut white card.  I cut a sloped hill using the Stitched Hills and Cloud die set and glued it to the dry background.  Next I cut the igloo out of white card.  I used a pale blue pencil and a gray pencil  to add highlight and detail to the igloo.  I coated it with glue and added Iced Snow for a frosty look.  I cut a second igloo and nipped away just the front area, repeated the same process on it then glued it over the same area on the first one to give a more dimensional look to it.  I added the igloo with foam to the higher side of the sloped hill.  I cut the penguin from the Penguin Palace set out of both white and black and glued them together.  I added a hat and scarf out of red and ice skates out of white.  I used a silver paint pen on the skates.  I added an orange beak and some pink cheeks, the added a snowball out of Iced Snow on his hat.  I added him with foam and made a small lake using Luna Paste for him to stand on.  The North Pole was added behind the igloo and I used a thin marker to highlight the words.  I stamped the first part of the sentiment in black and cut it out and added it to the top of the card.  I cut the Jolly die (die/stamp combo) in both Ruby Red and black and glued them below the stamped setiment.  Once the background was fully dry, I attached the frames over it and trimmed away any excess card.  I used the fall away snowflakes form the Snowflake and Swirl Background cut out of a piece of card I covered with some Luna Paste and glued them in opposite corners.  The card was completed with white, black and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Just a quick note, I will be joining Gwen Fletcher today on her 4:30pm show and doing a demo (again from my kitchen!)    Don't forget to tune in today for all of Gwen's shows on Create and Craft at 9am,  4:30 pm  and 8:15pm UK time.  Hope to see you then!  All for now, Sue x

Hiya lovely. Isn't this cute, I'm sitting here grinning like a Cheshire cat at this cute adorable sweet inspiration and these were my most favourite and will be the most useful festive dies I'll own this year as I'm expecting a lot of orders for children's cards and I can't wait. I also can't wait to see you again later on our screen. It's like not only do we love to watch you demo, it's also reassurance to see you looking so well and lovely considering how dreadful things are there. Sending much love virtual hugs to you and all friends and STAY SAFE AND KEEP CRAFTING 💖 xxx

Yes, your little penguin is a cutie. I like the scene you placed him in, too. Nice job on the igloo. As I was looking at your card, a memory popped into my head. Do I remember that you vacationed at an ice city or ice hotel some years ago? Hugs
