I wanted to share this card I made using Anna Wight's cling mount set, "Penguin Antics", which was released in 2008 by Whipper Snapper Designs.
I was actually inspired by this card by WildSideDesign on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/59313140...christmas-card
I was drawn to the large circle of a pond and the unusual green sky. And, I was attracted to the traditional Christmas colors. So, I attempted to create something similar.
Using a Nestabilities die I cut a circle. I then used this circle on a portion of Neenah Solar Crest white cardstock to create a mask for the pond. I then proceeded to add Marvy Light Green dye ink with a sponge to make the sky. I love this bright, bold color. After removing the circle, I then began work on the pond. I stamped the penguins, swirl and the tree image (all a part of the Penguin Antics set) using Marvy dye black ink. I colored the images with Copic markers. I used a Versamarker to color on top the penguins, added clear embossing powder and heated with a heat gun. This created a mask, which allowed me then to sponge on SeaShells Starfish Green dye ink to make the pond. A Copic marker created the shadow of the wobbly penguin.
On the stamped image of the tree and in the sky, I added a little snow with a "Snow Marker" from Marvy Uchida. Snowflakes cut from vellum with a Cuttlebug die also contributed to the snowfall, and were adorned with clear rhinestones from Recollections. Cute little sticker trees from Recollections also embellish the scene.
