Faith gave us a fun story about angry birds and pigs for our monthly Teapot Tickle. I happily set about making my card, not realising that Angry Birds is a game until I read Sabrina's card description. These penguins look rather angry so I hope my card qualifies.
I have been practicing Heather Telford's amazing falling snow tutorial, so far all I have managed to do is run out of masking fluid LOL.
Here is one of Heathers gorgeous cards and it also contains a link to her fabulous tutorial here at SCS.
Here we have Jake, Mrs. Murphy and Claire out on patrol looking for troublesome pigs. They all started out life as unmounted rubber stamps by Katzelkraft. I used post-it notes to mask the lower two thirds of the card, then with the magic of MISTI and Versafine black ink I stamped Claire. It is supposed to look like she is behind a snow bank.
I repositioned the post-it notes to cover the bottom third of the card then stamped Mrs. Murphy, again using Versafine ink. The trees were stamped next with Ranger Archival Ink. Both inks are black but as you can see, the Versafine is much darker, which is what I wanted for the penguins.
Sadly Mrs. Murphy look like she had been dismembered so I added a polka dot bikini hoping it would look like she was in an ice hole, that didn't work either so I gave her a skirt and scribbled on some feet.
Jake was finally stamped and thanks to a tickle RAK from Sabrina, Jake has a very nice tie and hat. I added splotches of white paint, pencils and alcohol markers on the white areas and did the sky with distress inks and water. Finally I used the point end of a paint brush and dotted on some snow.
Note: To adhere unmounted rubber stamps and Stampin Up poly stamps that no longer stick, just use a glue stick. Simply use a baby wipe to wipe the glue off MISTI and the stamps.
Thank you for looking, I hope you have a happy, inky week.

Oh, sis, words never adequately express how much joy to give us all here with your cards and especially with your descriptions! And the titles almost always put a smile and give me a giggle! I love these penguins, and the bikini on Mrs. Murphy is absolutely perfection! You know that our mistakes are often the best parts! Wonderfully done, and what a delight! Hugs and love! xoxo
