Yeah I'm back with Bah! Humbug! It felt so strange last week to let the side down and not have a card to show. Not like me at all and I guess I must still feel guilty as this week I have two samples for our theme of 'Penguins'.
Both are very easy cards using some scenic background paper from a card making magazine quite some time ago and some cute felt penguin stickers by Papercellar. I don't normally buy stickers, but I must admit to being addicted to goodie bags and there always seems to be an odd pack lurking in the bottom of the bag. Actually I rather like these penguins as they have a lovely fuzzy texture which obviously doesn't show up in the photo.
Card number 1 is just very simply trimmed, matted and layered to within an inch of it's life and then a few gems added plus a simple sentiment.
Hopefully in addition to Bah! Humbug! it fits the bill at these additional challenges...
- Christmas Cards All Year Round - Anything Goes
- Creative Craft World - Christmas in June
For card number two I used the brill sketch at Sketch and Stash. The backing paper for the penguin is the remaining part from my first card and the snowflake paper was from the same magazine. Both the papers and the penguin stickers have been in my stash for some time so I guess they will count as my neglected stash for the challenge. I've added some embossed white snowflake card, gems and an organza bow.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone and hope to see you joining in with our theme of penguins at Bah! Humbug! Don't forget to pop over there and check out what Max and our super talented Guest Designers have been up to.
