Warm Friendships

 Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a wonderful start!

Have you heard the news? Ink N Splatter is now hosting monthly challenges in their FB group!!

Yay!!

This month is anything goes using Ink N Splatter stamps with the optional theme of a color challenge.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

It is so hot in my area, that as soon as I saw all those blues, my mind went to winter. Maybe it's wishful thinking? Although I'm sure when it is super cold, I will be wishing for warmer days again. It's a never ending cycle lol!

I decided to make a mini slimline and use these adorable penguins from the Winter Holidays Penguins Clear Stamp Set from Ink N Splatter. I pulled out some light blue patterned paper from the On The Pond 6x6 Paper Pad and rounded all four corners. I created a little snowy scene by using some dies from Crafters Companion and popping up the front layer with foam tape before adding my scene to my white mini slimline card base. I stamped those super cute penguins using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored in, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I positioned them onto my card around my sentiment, using more foam tape for the middle penguin for even more dimension. I completed my card by using some snowflake sequins as well as one of my favorite embellishments...crochet thread.

Copic Colors Used:

--Penguins: C00, C0, C2, C4, C6, YR12, YR14--

--Outfits: B000, B01, B41, YG63, YG25, YG05, B91, BG72, BG75--

I would also like to play along with the following challenges:
