I have three fun cards to share with you today, they all feature the truly adorable new set, Penguins in Paradise by Birdie Brown. I am in LOVE with these little guys!
My first card features a fun little fella holding a cocktail. I stamped the image on a piece of X-Press It card stock and I coloured it with Copics.
I used the new Zig Zag Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics to create the layered ovals, a little bit of sandpaper to create the sand, and Peerless Watercolours to create the sky.
My next card features an adventurous little penguin with a bright orange flotation device. Once again, I stamped the image in Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, and I coloured it with Copics. I added a thick layer of Crystal Effects to the flotation device.
To create the splash of colour in the background I used three colours of ink, Summer Splash, Blu Raspberry, and Mermaid Lagoon, with the watercolour smooching technique.
The final card today doesn't feature a penguin, but rather one of the smaller accessory stamps that is included in the Penguins in Paradise stamp set.
I paired the fruity cocktail with the Blueprints 23 Die-namics to create a sweet and simple card. The drinks were all coloured with Copics, the flowers received a little shimmer with the Wink of Stella Pen, and the glasses received a thick coating of Crystal Effects.
