Hi Folks
Well the week is slowly dribbling by. Get tomorrow over with and then it's only two more days till the weekend. We are still enjoying lovely weather at the moment but thankfully there is air conditioning in the office I work in. Not sure I would survive without it lol.
Now tonight's card share features one of my most favourite animals (apart from my cats), the penguin. I could watch them for hours and on trips to the zoo in the past I have done just that. Of course one of my favourite films is Happy Feet. Such a cutie. Anyway, for my card tonight I used a cute Penguin set available here from Pink Gem Designs.
I decided that I needed to do some clean and simple cards for Christmas. Believe me, it was so hard not to keep adding stuff lol. I printed the image onto a square piece of white card and coloured it with promarkers adding a little glamourdust to his hat. This was then matted onto red coredinations cardstock after inking around the edges with a little fired brick distress ink. I also added some faux stitching. For embellishments I just added a sentiment and some gems.
I enjoyed making this card so much that I decided to use the other images in the set to make two more in different colours.
Here are all three of them together.
I will certainly be making some more of these as I do need rather a lot of christmas cards.
Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.

Oh Mags, your penguin images are so cute that you really do not need lots of embellishments to show them off. I wish you could see the smile they have brought to my face. CAS always strikes me as an art in itself because, apart from having to be very disciplined in not giving in to temptation, there is nowhere to hide if a little error occurs :-) Good luck in our challenge.
