Penguin Prezzie

I so love these cute little penguins from Whimsy Stamps!  There are quite a few of them, and they are all adorable.  This one is Penguin Prezzie.

My card today was made for a little girl to give to her grandmother, whom she calls “Bam Bam”.  I thought this cute little penguin would be the perfect image to use.

I decided to use my colored pencils on kraft paper.  I used my Polychromo pencils on this one.  I love the look as I think the kraft paper really makes the colors pop.  I have listed all the colors I used at the bottom of this post.

I had some pretty pattern paper that I thought would make a great background for the image.  I thought the colors would give a great contrast to the colored image.  After assembling the card, I created a computer sentiment and popped it up with some foam tape.

I have had the Twine & Bows die from Pretty Posh Pink for some time but haven’t used it very often.  I thought it would be the perfect accent at the bottom of the card.  I also added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Sweet Lilac and Caribbean Ocean to the front.  This completed my card.

    He is so cute. I never think of stamping on to anything but white card, but love the natural background.

    Just adorable. I’ve tried stamping on kraft once or twice but been frustrated by the colouring, this is great though, really vibrant colours

      Thanks! It just takes a lot of light pressure and layers.
