I PROMISE that I will not post another Christmas card tomorrow!!! LOL!!! I just got this new stamp set from Inkadinkado and it worked perfectly for today's sketch!!!! The penguin stamp is 1 of 8 in a brand new clear set. You can see the entire set HERE. Lindsey will be getting this set and many other new ones any day now so if you are interested in getting the set, you can email Lindsey and she will notify you when it is received!!!
The layout is based on today's sketch challenge at SCS. The base of my card is Whisper White with a mat of Basic Black and then a mat of Baja Breeze that I ran through my Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder. The decorative paper using for the 2 squares is from the new SU! Ski Slope Collection and were matted using Whisper White cardstock. The wide white polka dot ribbon at the top is from Michael's and the little black piece is just a scrap I had. The focal image was stamped on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink. I colored using my Prismacolor pencils although I did leave my square Nestabilitie die on after I cut the image out and then sponged Baja Breeze ink around the edges. I also used a blender pen and Baja Breeze ink pad and colored the snow. I then added white Martha Stewart glitter to the snow, falling snowflakes and SU! felt snowflakes by painting on Elmer's glue and adding the glitter. I also added Angel Wings Shimmerz to the fire but you can't see it in my picture! I added the googlie eyes and used White Liquid Pearls to adhere white Martha glitter to the penguin's hat band and ball on the end of his hat. I adhered the snowflakes above the image by adding an old snowflake brad I had and a pop up glue dot. There you go ~ super easy!!!! Isn't the penguin cute?!?!?!
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and I will "see" you tomorrow!!!!

This card is sooo cute! Please don't stop with the Christmas Cards - I love them and I am definitely in the mood to not work and just make cards (if only I could). It is so hard for me to sit here and work.
