Birthday Penguin

 For the first time in a very, very long time I have had time to go in to my craft room and just play. I have had some fun card folds I have wanted to try for quite awhile and I finally had time to do one. 

The Double Angles Card has been at the top of my list since I saw the tutorial posted. I also need some cards for my birthday card stash so this was the perfect time to do that as well. 

After stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink I coloured this cute gardener with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. I had made the card base yesterday and used patterned paper from Stampin' Up. I added some sparkly fishtail and turquoise banners to each of the layers. To help him stand out a little better, I cut a white and turquoise circle to mount him on. 

I also added some sparkle with Diamond Stickles to the string for the flowers and a few of the flowers. Lastly I stamped the sentiment and cut it to size.

Penguin Birthday Wishes

I have a number of people in my life who love penguins and funny how those same people all have a Birthday once a year . 
I love the Penguin Gardener set because it has three different penguins so I can make up cards for my stash using each different stamps. Unfortunately I too have a birthday once a year and as I get older I have a hard time remembering who got which penguin stamp the year before.........sigh............

After stamping and colouring my stamp with alcohol markers I hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge. Next I gathered my patterned papers and cut them to size. I added this adorable stamp to a stitched banner just for fun and inked all the paper edges with antique linen distress ink. Some cotton lace ribbon from my stash and sparkly gumdrops finish off my card.

Penguin Birthday Wishes

I have a lot of friends and family who love penguins so I always need a lot of different Birthday cards ready in my stash.  Penguin Gardener is the perfect set to help me keep my stash filled with cards. The challenge is remembering who got which stamp from year to year!

After colouring these cuties with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut the stamp leaving a thin white edge. I set it aside and designed my card base with layers of patterned paper from Bo Bunny. Next I cut a circle and pleated circle and added them to a tag just for fun. Some ribbon and a few sparkly gumdrops finish off my card.
