May your Days …

Well I wouldn’t call this one of my most inspired Christmas cards but it isn’t one of my worst either. The Inkspirational Challenge #326 – Mood Board had a lot of colour to choose from and I decided to use a few of them as my inspiration for this design. The penguin stamp set is a new one, purchased on sale recently, and is from Crafter’s Companion. Sentiment inside and out are from the same set. The trees in the background are from a StampinUp set and decorated with baubles from the same set. And the barely there snow flakes are done with Lost Shadow ink and a stamp from MFT. I fussy cute the penguin and added foam tape for dimension, after I had coloured him. I used Inktense pencils and Sakura gelly roll pens, for some sparkle and highlights. I also added some Nuvo Crystal drops to his beak and feet. I went around the main panel with a Spectrum Noir pen and then added it to a piece of gold CS to get the thin gold border.

I have been procrastinating on some office work recently, but really must get it done. As my design mojo is a little lacking, I think I will at least make a start on the paperwork today.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you and your time. I also hope that the devastation brought by recent storms isn’t affecting you directly. The destruction is truly awful and I feel for those who have lost everything.
