P..P..Pick Up a Penguin!

I've used more new stamps on today's card...a couple of the penguins from a 'Special Delivery' set by Helz Cuppleditch called (strangely enough) 'Penguins'. I created a snowy scene for the background using plain white card...embossing the 'sky' using my Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' folder, cutting a couple of trees using my Marianne Designs die, and simply tearing the card for the snowy slopes. I coloured the penguins using watercolour pencils, then cut them out and popped them on using 3D foam pads. The sentiment is from the 'Sentiments' set by Hero Arts.
