Snow much fun

Hello, I am back today with a card I have made using this cute penguin from Woodware.

The stamp set is called 'Chubby penguin'and it comes with three lovely sentiments too.

I have created a background by stamping snowflakes with versamark

and then used white embossing powder on them.

I used distress inks and a blending tool to add the colour to the background.

The ground is made using spellbinder die set Curved borders one and then glittered.

The penguin is coloured with copics and I have decoupaged the hat,scarf,beak and feet.

Glossy accents is used on the beak and feet and a little glitter added to the bobble and on the scarf.

Distress ink colours are -

Tumbled glass, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon and blue print sketch

Copic colours are - 

Beak and feet - Yr21 Yr24 Yr27

Scarf - B000 B00 B02 B12 B16 B18

penguin - C00 C1 C3 C5 C7 C9 and blender pen

It's not the size that matters!

Long over due, but as promised here's some piccies of artwork Chris has made using the inkadinkadoo Inchies stamp sets - so called as most of the square designs on the set are just a mere inch in size.

And don't forget, if you like what you are seeing here, then go and have a butcher's at Chris' blog - "Always About Colour".

This is one of the projects Chris made for Sir Stampalot. She has already posted this on her blog a little while back but I just had to show you the detail that goes into some of her work.

Using versamagic ink to stamp out the Inchies from the Flower Garden stamp set, this is the front of a wallet that is kept closed with the lovely organza ribbon from Creative Impressions that has a lovely swirly design on it. This wallet opens up and contains matching notelets.

This notelet wallet project makes a wonderful gift idea for a birthday present or as thank you notelets to send someone for all the lovely Christmas presents we'll get this year (have we all been good??)

As part of the embellishments on the front of the wallet, Chris came up with, accidently, the 'peanut' flower look:

this is where she has inked the edges of Prima flowers (again with versamagic ink), and dropped the flower into clear embossing powder (this was the accidental bit if I remember rightly!). So she decided to gently heat set this flower covered in clear embossing powder - the texture of the flower and the colour of the ink assisted in the flower petals looking like peanuts! How cool is that?

The centers of the flowers are nicely embellished with cream shrink plastic circles stamped with designs from the same Inchies stamp set. And also a few separate ones adhered in a neat little row on the wallet front.

This is a brilliant, non-complicated card design that Chris came up with. Again using Inchies from the same set as before in 3 simple coordinating colours as the main focal point of the card (designs from the Flower Garden set).

And finished off with a greeting motif from the Woodware Clear Magic set - Circular Greetings, again using the same colours to match the Inchies.

Thanks Chris, these are brill. Just had a peep at your blog and love the new Sarah Kay card you posted on Saturday 1st - it's gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing the second variation you are working on - no pressure or anything!!

More Inchies to come next time .....
