Let It Snow Penguin

Hi Crafty Friends,
I know it's fall but for the next few months I'm going to be helping you get ready for Christmas with Poppy Stamps BEAUTIFUL Nordic Wonderland Collection of dies. Today's card features the darling Nordic Playful Penguin and Nordic Fancy Background Die.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What animal would you like to see Poppy Stamps make next?
A: Me? Panda Bear in winter gear

Step #1: I started by making the darling little Penguin's outfit out of shades of purple from Poppy Stamps Twlight Purple 6x6 Paper Pad.

Step #2: I made the penguin out of black and white cardstock and glued on his winter gear.

Step #3: I used the Poppy Stamps Nordic Fancy Background Die with white cardstock mounted on metallic white paper from the Poppy Stamps Rainbow Reflections Mirror 6x6 Paper Pad.

Step #4: I mounted the background on purple paper that matches the penguin's outfit and added the elegant Poppy Stamps Let it Snow Moonlight Script Die in two shades of purple. I finished my card by mounting the penguin slightly to the left.

 

Supplies:

2599 Let it Snow Moonlight Script

FP1003 Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad 6x6 pack
