The theme of this week's Merry Monday Christmas Challenge is penguins and the Jingle Belles want to see some embossing, so I broke out my favorite penguin stamp set and made a card using this Freshly Made sketch:
I stamped the penguin and sentiment with pigment inks and heat embossed them with clear detail powder and then used a Staedtler marker to add a pop of red to the penguin. I made the frame using two Nestabilities circle dies. Before removing the paper from the dies I ran it through my Cuttlebug again with a tan embossing mat to get the ring around the middle. To give the striped strip definition I lightly pressed to edges perpendicularly into a black ink pad. Here is the inside:
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
