It's the middle of summer and I have another Christmas card to share! I bought this Stamping Bella stamp, Mr. Penguin goes for a ride, over a year ago because I thought it was SO
cute! Which it is - but I keep forgetting that I really don't like to
color very much (!) so this is the first time I've inked it up. I
colored the image with Copics. I thought a little girl like this would have a sweet little pink winter coat with accents of purple - so my color pallet was decided! I die cut the image with a Stitched Edges Rectangle die from Waltzingmouse and layered it over a piece of
patterned paper with foam dots. The sentiment is from Nutcracker Sweets from WMS.
The tree has little round ornaments on the stamp but I decided to glue flower sequins over them. Since this card is hot off the press - you can still see the glue in the centers - when it dries that will be clear! They add a lovely shine to the card as well as a little dimension!
I'm linking my card to the Merry Monday Challenge - create a Christmas card with a penguin on it (this is the ONLY stamp I have with a penguin!)

Hi Julia, Of course every little girl loves pink & purple (getting ready for when she's an older red & purple Hat lady!) This image is just so cute and love the tiny tree on her sled, and grinned at the little penguin pushing from behind. Cute sequins trimming that tiny tree too. Thanks for joining in on the 1st HLS Christmas Challenge. Hope to see you next month too. Hugs.
