Good Morning everyone
Today ive dug out an old favourite stamp of mine - the grumpy penguins from Katzelkraft. I also managed to use some of my acetate off cuts - as acetate is plastic i try not to waste any, although quite often for shaker cards or if im colouring it with alcohol inks i recycle plastic packaging.
I first coloured the acetate strips with alcohol inks - this one in blues and golds. I then took a folded white 6x6" card blank and cut an inch strip off one end, i then attached the acetate strip inbetween on the inside so the glue is hidden, you can then see the acetate on the front and back of the card.
I then stencilled on some stars with blue distress inks and little dots using gold paint. I tore a strip of white cardstock, stamped my greeting and then dry embossed with a snowy EF and added this to the bottom for my penguins to stand on.
Penguins stamped, little colour added with distress inks and cut out and arranged.
Die cut snowflake and glitter glue highlights added to finish.
This shows the acetate panel better. I put the alcohol inks on the inside and then a white paper insert helps the colours show up
Version 2 is pinks & purples
