Penguins at the Christmas card Club

Good morning lovelies - how are you today? I hope you are well and happy. Did you have a good day yesterday? I had a great one - a personal training session followed by a half mile swim, gardening club then a bit of housework before picking the girls up from school. They did Jujitsu in the evening and I managed to wrap plenty of things for the lucky dip - its the school fair next weekend - its come around so quick! And today ..... well I'm hoping its going to be a quiet one - I'll be doing the Moonlight walk tonight - 25km starting at 10pm! I must be mad! Wish me luck!

Today my post for the Christmas card Club is one day early - but I thought it was better today than two posts tomorrow! The theme this fortnight is penguins - now I love penguins - and was thinking about that lovely delicious doodles image - but I couldn't find it - anyway, after searching my stamps I managed to find a wild rose studio stamp and this is the card I made:


I did have fun making the inky background for my card using a snowflake stamp from the front cover of an old craft stamper magazine and versamark plus clear embossing powder. Then I set to work with distress inks.


The image was coloured with spectrum noirs and then I added fine crystal glitter and cut with a spellbinders die.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for dropping in today and for any comments you choose to leave! I hope you have a great Saturday and I hope to see you again soon!

Hugs

Rachel xx
