Skating Penguin

I have another Christmas card to share today...this one features one of the penguins from the 'Les Penguins' set of stamps by Katzelkraft. I stamped it on to watercolour paper, drew a line for the icy ground using a black gel pen, then coloured the image using watercolour pencils. I added a sentiment from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, then carefully cut around the top of the image. For the background, I used a piece of 'snowy sky' paper from the 'Christmas' pad by Craft Sensations, layered it behind the image then added some gold metallic die cut stars (cut using dies from the 'Snowy Stars' set by Tim Holtz for Sizzix). I matted it all on to some more gold mirror card before adding it to a card blank.
