This card is for the IC this week. Check out the "Poster Cabaret" challenge!!
I chose this Birch Bark and Birds poster as my inspiration. I love the colors and layout. The embossing technique I used is cased from a card by "mamaxsix -- she shared this fun tutorial with me, the results are gorgeous IRL!!
My little penguin image is by Woodware USA and colored with copics. The trees were die cut with Cuttlebug die. I added some half back pearls to the trees and used dimensionals on the penguin.

I could never do this ... only because I lack the creativity you have, but let me just tell you, dah-ling, this is one fabulous card. The texture is great and the design ... er ... work of art is spectacular.
