Hi friends. A new challenge was just posted at showCASe your style. We've got a great color challenge for you to use this week. The challenge is sponsored by Clearly Whimsy Stamps. You don't have to use them to play along but if you are the randomly chosen winner, your gift certificate earnings increase.
I used the super fun Penguin Fun and matching Penguin Fun dies for my card today. I paired him with this igloo die that I bought specifically to go with my penguins -- a match made in heaven, no? The igloo die is NBUS so I'll be linking my card up to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3.
I started by spreading some embossing paste over my blue panel. I added a bit of shading to the penguin's belly and then covered it with clear Wink of Stella. My penguin is also popped up on some foam tape for a bit of dimension.
Here's a tip: I stamped my penguin in MFT black hybrid ink but didn't get a very solid impression. (I used this ink rather than the Versafine black ink that I normally use so I could add a bit of coloring with my Copic markers). I took my black Copic marker and went over my penguin. You can't even tell and now my penguin is very black and crisp looking.
Take care friends and have a great weekend.
