Christmas Critters


Good Morning everyone.

Its time once again for a new challenge over at Cardz4guyz   The theme for the next 2 weeks is:

CHRISTMAS CRITTERS
So any creatures associated with Christmas

Ive gone with a penguin and dug out the first Katzelkraft stamps i bought of this grumpy penguins.  Everyone loved the cards i made with them last year. 


6x5.5" white cardblank.  I found a sheet of ombre patterned paper in a bluey purple to use, i cut slightly smaller than the card front and dry embossed with a snow fall embossing folder, then mounted onto black card and the card base. 

I die cut the star frame twice, once from white and once from black card and off set them.  I cut a panel of the same paper as the background to fit the middle of the frame and then mounted onto the front with foam tape.  I stamped my penguins, added a little colour and fuzzy cut him out. I gently shaped him and added to the frame with glue gel.

Stamped greeting diecut into circle and mounted onto a black circle and added to the front.  I coloured some clear enamel stars with orange marker and added around my penguin so he is in a nice starry sky. 


Close up of Mr Grumpy.

Fabulous card Emma glad to see Mr Grumpy has made a return, like you it's been freezing here to with very strong winds and heavy rain, but ideal weather for crafting. Big hugs Kirsty. x
