Caroling penguins for CHNC


This is my card for mid-month inspiration for CHNC extra July 2017 - please click on the link to see the lovely designs of my team members and we hope you will join in the challenge here - anything goes as long as it's Christmas and you can enter as many times as you like.

The background was created by embossing a piece of mirror card using an Embossalicious folder and sanding to reveal some white core. The image is one of my favourite Penny Black Christmas stamps, caroling penguins, inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum nor with quickie glue pen and Art Institute fine glitter on the furry bits of the Santa hats. This was die cut using an X cut rectangular parenthesis die. The greeting glittered circle was part of a kit bought ages ago.

I'm also sharing this card for my CHNC challenge 342 where it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'use a die cut'. Please click on the link and join in as many times as you like ... and, remember, the theme is entirely optional.

  3. That is adorable, but I don't think they're singing! I don't see anyone's beak open! :) They must be humming. . .
