Christmas Penguin

I've had this cute little gift card made up for a little while now using the image "Penguin Home" digital stamp by The Stamping Boutique.

I coloured the image with copics and then added some texture with my snow marker.  The felt snowflake is one I've had in my stash for a while now & I think it's from Stampin Up.  I love this image but really need to work on my colouring of white images.  If anyone has any pointers on colouring in white would love to hear them!

Ooooh Christmas/Winter will be here before we know it!

My TSB One Stop Blog Hop Entry

I hope you had a chance to play along on The Stamping Boutique's One-Stop Blog Hop this past weekend!  We weren't allowed to post our entries until after the contest closed but here is mine:

I used the image Circus AJ and coloured him with copics.  I used Bo Bunny Paper and cardstock cut out with my Scallop Circle Nesties and added a whole bunch of rhinestones for some added bling!  If you didn't catch all the amazing DT entries you can see them here.  Congrats Heide and all the other winners over at the TSB Challenge Blog.

The Fairies Frolic at The Stamping Boutique!

I love this image by The Stamping Boutique called The Fairies Frolic and couldn't wait to make a card with it.  Because there is so much detail in the image I kept the card very simple.

The image was coloured with copics and I added a whole bunch of pink & white rhinestones.  I was able to use up some scrap cardstock & DP from my scrap pile which is always good because I have tons of scraps!  Isn't she adorable?

I hope everyone has signed up for the new Stamping Boutique newsletter!  If you haven't be sure to head over to The Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog to sign up!  I just received my 2nd issue today and it had another fabulous freebie image of She Who Paints the Forest from Tracey's Enchantment line.   Did you also know that The Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog will be having bi-weekly challenges starting in March?  Be sure to check them out, I'll definitely be playing along!  Hope you all have a great weekend, I'm so looking forward to it!
