Valentine Penguin

Greetings,

Who do you send Valentines to?  I send them to family, my crafty friends, and my single girlfriends.  I have a few different styles this year, some were made several times, some just once because they were colored with copic's.  This is one I made late January with a seriously cute set from Gerda Steiner - Valentine Penguins.

I used the warm grays for the body of the penguin.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

One Layer Card

Greetings,
It has been a good week as far as playing in challenges.  One more today -  a one layer cute birthday card that'll play in two challenges.  One Layer is the topping at Seize the Birthday, and Cute is the one layer card prompt at Less is More this go round.

I had to alter the balloon, it was originally heart shaped, but I wanted more of a birthday feel than a Valentine feel, so I drew in a line to cleave the heart and added a balloon in the back and colored each one a bit darker than the front balloon which is fully outlined.  I've also taken to coloring my image while it sits in the misti, so I can just stamp it again at the end to get nice dark crisp outlines. I love these sweet lil penguins from Gerda Steiner. I ordered the set in December, hoping I'd be able to play while in California...but it saw no ink until today.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
