Dancing Penquins ...

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Ruza here to share a card featuring some of the awesome Great Impressions Stamps.

I love making holiday cards with Penguins so when I saw the adorable Dancing Penguin (F592) I just had to play with this stamp. I stamped 3 of the penguins on a panel with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and then quite a few extra's on extra cardstock.

Copic Markers were used to color the penguins. For the scarves I colored the extra copies, fussy cut each layer out, and used my Xyron Sticker Maker to layer them on my colored panel. I also colored the lifted foot, fussy cut them out, and using various dimensional tape adhered the feet to the penguins. Distress ink was applied around the images. Next up was to layer the panel on a green and red panel, and then onto my cardbase.

For the inside of the card I recreated the panels, added the Happy Dance Sentiment (D488). After masking the sentiment, I stamped just the snowflakes from the Dancing Penguin (F592) around the sentiment, and applied distress ink around to the panel to match the front.

   

That is all for me today. I will be back next week with another project featuring some amazing stamps from Great Impressions! I hope you will check out our current Great Impressions Challenge, and if you use some Great Impressions stamps make sure you link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Until next week ... Enjoy!

Wintry Penguin

Hey, everyone!  Happy Thursday!  It's time for me to share another creation using stamps from the Great Impressions store again.  Today I've got a fun and easily mail-able card with a holiday theme.  Take a gander...

More details on my personal blog HERE.

I decided to keep this card CAS and flat so it would be ideal for mailing.  So, all of the stamps are on the same panel!  I've used some newer images paired with an older sentiment.  I started by stamping the snowbanks, G511 Snow Drifts, in a very light blue ink.  I added some glitter to it for some shine.

I then stamped the little penguin, F592 Dancing Penguin, and colored in what needed to be colored with glitter gel pens.  I added some glitter to the little snowflakes above his head, too.  More shine!

Lastly, I stamped an older sentiment, E250 Warmth & Love, in red and highlighted it with red gel pen.

I think the final product turned out better than I though it would!  A mail-able, holiday card, that has lots of shine and holiday spirit thrown into it.  Thoughts?

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my creation!  Hop over to play along with our monthly challenge, too!  If you use stamps from Great Impressions, you'll be able to link up your creation in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!
