I got this cute penguin stamp during Impression-Obsession's annual Thanksgiving sale, and I'm so happy to have an excuse to use him. Cute images like this are "almost" enough to convince me that winter is fun (but I live in the South, where ice is serious and can shut the town down for days, so it's not "completely" enough to convince me).
I also love this sketch from Card Patterns (sketch 145). It went together so quickly I was amazed, and I really like that element I used blue vellum on -- it really gives the card an extra bit of pizzazz. This card is also for the current challenge at There's Magic in the Air -- "winter fun with bling" (bling in this case being glitter).
Image is stamped in Memento black and colored with pencils and OMS. It's matted on a scalloped circle. White layer has a punched edge and is also embossed with the Swiss Dot folder. Blue vellum was punched with same edge punch. Ribbon is actually sewn in place -- I sewed the button on the card with embroidery floss.
What sort of winter fun do you enjoy?
