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.

Zowie this is fabulous! I really like how you created the graphic background then embossed the whole thing. The colors are fantastic too. Thanks for the tutorial link.
