Merry

 Hi everyone!
I hope this finds you well!
I can not believe that it is already December!! It has been such a weird year!

I've been working on some Christmas cards and I would like to share my latest one.


I started by creating an A2 cardbase from some white cardstock and layering a bit of plaid patterned paper on top. Next I added a strip of green cardstock to one side and then doodled all around the perimeter with a black sharpie pen. I used a Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Die to cut out my white layer and added a piece of vellum behind it before popping it up onto my card front with some foam tape. I die cut the MERRY from some red cardstock and glued that to my card. Once I had that glued down, I realized that I also wanted to incorporate the word Christmas but I already had my dimension going with my white layer being popped up on foam tape.  Thankfully I have a Misti Stamping Tool so I just slipped my card in there and stamped Christmas with some black ink, hoping for the best lol! Luck was on my side and the stamping came out perfectly! Once I had that done, I colored up that adorable little Penguin with some Copic markers and fussy cut him out. I adhered him to my card and added some glossy accents to his little feet and beak. I finished my card with a few star sequins/confetti pieces as well as some white Nuvo drops. I think it came out so cute and that little penguin wearing his little sweater just makes me smile!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

I would never have known you doodled the detail in around the panel - perfect doodling. I love the penguin and those wonderful large MERRY letters. Such a very cute card.
