Penguin Celebration

Sep 232014

I just love these silly party birds!!

They are playing along in three challenges:
CAS on Sunday Challenge #42 to “make a celebration card using sequins.”
Work It Wednesday August 2014 to “use stamping in our creations this month.”
The Male Room Challenge #19 to “use metal.”

A couple of different “styles” of sequins were used as well as a big metal snowflake. Copics were used to color the birds and to add a hat to the special bird of the day.

Fun stuff!! Happy Crafting!

Sometimes the crafting is put on hold, and that’s what happened this summer. Besides moving (again), I learned to surf!! What FUN (the surfing.. not the moving)!!

Now I’m getting back to crafting and starting on some Christmas card designs. Here’s one that is playing along in today’s color challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

The ornament image is from the new Stampin’ Up Holiday Mini Catalog. I’ve colored it with Copics.

This card is also playing along in a new challenge on Tracy’s blog called the Monday Mood Board. Just love the colors and the black and white and gray leafy images in the Monday Mood Board Challenge #2.

This second card uses a new (to me) stencil from Simon Says Stamp.
