Hi everyone and happy Wednesday! I can't believe it's already July! Here is Seattle it has been HOT. Too hot. These new My Favorite Things penguins absolutely crack me up as most of us in the Pacific northwest are melting in the heat.
I stamped and die cut the images out using Memento ink since I'm planning on colorings these with Copic markers.
First, I colored in the penguin with my Copics.
Next I colored in the palm tree shading the trunk just slightly.
I had lots of fun coloring in the ball. I left it pretty streaky intentionally.
Here's the trio completely colored in.
My Favorite Things makes a series of dies called Blueprint dies. They're designed to work all together and layer - which makes layering so easy
I cut the top layer from white and also using Avery Elle 6x6 Neutral collection patterned paper.
Then I used another Blueprints die to create a stitched hill.
Then I layered the panel.
I adhered the layers and then cut a pinked circle from more Avery Elle 6x6 patterned paper.
Next I layered everything on a top folding A2 Neenah Desert Storm card stock.
And added the penguin trio and stamped a sentiment and flowers onto the panel.
Finally I added the linked circle between the layers.
Then, I pulled the penguin and the ball up and popped them up with dimensional foam.
Finally I wrapped the card with twine and tied a bow.
For visual interest, I used my corner rounder to round the edge of the card.
Lastly, I added glossy accents to the hearts and melting popsicle.
Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing part of your day with me! I hope you have a great one!
XOXO,
Heather
