CARD DETAILS
I started working on this card by stamping Swirly Flower Bold Prints image to create a background form y card in Mint Julep ink. Next, I stamped Penguin Family in black directly onto the background and once again onto a piece of watercolor paper.
I added a bit of coloring in yellow to my watercolor stamped penguins and cut them out right up to the edge using scissors. I also stamped “Sending” and “Joy” in black ink onto my background panel and foam mount penguins on top. I embellished my with a holly leaf, some natural twine and white enamel dots.
