Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm playing along with this week's MFT sketch challenge featuring the adorable Penguins in Paradise.   The "water" was created using the MFT Wavy Lines stencil, Tim Holtz distress inks and Stickles for sparkle.  I used an old technique for the "sand" by tearing SU Creamy Caramel cardstock then inking lightly.   I stamped the palm tree on Creamy Caramel and Old Olive cardstock then fussy cut.  Images were colored with Copic Markers. I would like to share my card with the following: My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #593 Allsorts Challenge Blog:  #676 Add Some Sparkle Time Out Challenge: #213 On Vacation!

  I'm joining the Wednesday Sketch and Slimline Challenges at MFT.  Full size slimline cards are not my usual card, but it was really fun to have a larger canvas for this beach scene. This is my first card featuring Birdie Brown's Penguins in Paradise set.  The images and sentiments are SO cute!  I had a lot of fun coloring them as well.  All of the images on my card are from the set. The water was created with the MFT Wavelines stencil.  I started the sky with my Gelli Plate and distress inks spritzed with water.  Once dry, I used distress inks and the MFT Sunray stencil.  An old, but rediscovered, torn paper technique was used for the sandy beach.  Of course, the images were colored with my favorite Copic Markers.
