Penguin Love

Hi guys! I've been gone a few days huh, didn't intend to be at all but things have been all go over here, we could be moving house end of the week, all very exciting! With that going on I haven't been able to settle to craft, too jittery, and we've had the in laws over for the weekend too so was also busy cooking and stuff-lovely weekend though:) But I have now managed a card!

When my Sugar Nellie DT stamps arrived a few weeks ago I got this adorable Diane Duda stamp, called 'Penguin Love'. Totally appropriate name me thinks! I love penguins! I've coloured the adorable pair with my copics and used some Cosmic Shimmer iced jewel crystals for the snow and then stitched around the image on my sewing machine.

Stuff: Penguin Love by Diane Duda for Sugar Nellie available here, copics, sewing machine, Cosmo cricket jolly by golly paper available here, MME Love Me Do papers available here, wooden snowflake here, shimmerz paint in angel wings to paint wooden snowflake here, bling from stash, stampendous sentiment, ribbon from stash, bow easy template here.

Here's a little close-up:~
A lot of the products I used from Quixotic Paperie are actually on sale right now till midnight tonight at 10% off as the discount is on all Prima, Cosmo Cricket and MME products so do check it out! Also Elaine is offering a HUGE 15% off all Martha Stewart punches (including all the new ones-around the edge etc) so now's the time to stock up and on Spellbinders the same discount applies!

The layout of the card is courtesy of the fabulous sketch over at Friday Sketchers. Loved it! I'm also going to enter this over at Simon Says Stamp as they want to see animals this week, KL stampin and Scrappin who want to see snowflakes, and caardvarks who want us to 'colour it'

Well that's it from me! Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you might leave-I love hearing from you!
