I adore these Arctic Penguins from Mama Elephant and haven't used them
in a while but they sprung to mind with our theme for this challenge.
I started out by stamping and masking the 2 penguins, followed by the
icy float before inking and blending distress inks in: Chipped Sapphire,
Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch and Tumbled Glass. A little bit of colour
using Promarkers plus a flick and spritz of perfect pearls and water finishes
the little winter scene which is die-cut using Simon Says Stamp stitched circle
dies and mounted on fun foam. The sentiment is from Uniko: Pure Florals: Poinsettia!
As always there's plenty more super CAS creations by my fellow teamies,

Such a gorgeous little scene and those penguins are super cute. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have a way with ink blending Sarah... I just love this little scene and the way the water is dark and the sky fades to almost white. Those little penguins are just adorable. Perfect card for the challenge.
