When I saw the first card in this post, I knew I had to lift it and when I did, I stayed fairly loyal to the original card changing only minor details: I used different papers, stamped the penguin directly onto the white paper and used a different sentiment stamp.
While I do like the Arctic Penguins I prefer for them to be entirely black so I ran over my stamped penguin with a black pen. And then I used PrismaColor pencils to colour in his beak, skates and cup. As a final detail I added Glossy Accent over his beak to give it some shine.
I recreated the look of the bow in the corner of the card using Lawn Fawn twine which is a fairly heavy twine. This means it benefits from a little bit of adhesive to stay exactly in place and so that is what it got 😉
