Whimsy Birthday Penguin

 

Hello,

Today I have another card to share featuring one of the Penguin images from Whimsy stamps. I LOVE these penguins!

For my card I used Penguin with prezzie, coloured with Promarkers and spectrum noirs.

I chose to make a birthday card, using an older nitwit collections paper pad, all matted on white.

I finished with flowers, ribbon and a sentiment.

Challenges:

As you like it: flora or fauna and why?

This is a difficult one for me as I use a lot of both on my cards. I am an animal lover so a lot of images I use feature animals, seeing as I am known for my cute cards but I also love adding flowers to things, so much so I often have to stop myself from adding them to everything I make!

Based on that, I would say fauna.

Whimsy Penguin Couple

 

Hello,

Last week I treated myself to some of the super cute penguin stamps from Whimsy stamps. I would love to use some of the Christmas images for my Christmas cards this year, but they seem to have sold out everywhere. After seeing them featured on a few blogs and on pinterest I had to get them!

For this card I used the penguin couple, coloured with Promarkers and die cut into a circle. Colouring scenes I actually find quite difficult, sometimes they look ok others I don't like them at all but colouring classes usually feature copics rather than Promarkers.

I used Nitwit collections Cherish papers, currently my favourite papers in pretty peach and pastel blue.

I added some ribbon, flowers, pearls and an anniversary sentiment to finish.

I'd like to enter this into the following:

Passion for Promarkers: pastels

As you like it: favourite embellishments and why?

Flowers and pearls, because I love adding a bit of a natural look to my cards and pearls give it a pretty feel.
