Penguin Pile – IPC 214 Reminder

Hello and welcome back!

For my second cozy card, I created a clean-and-simple scene using an older (but still adorable!) stamp set.

To start, I stamped and colored the main image from the Penguin Pile stamp set. I used Copic markers in the following combinations –

Penguins: 100, W8, W5, W3, W1

Purples: V09, V06, V04

Blues: B28, B26, B24

Teals: BG78, BG45, BG72

Ice: BG13, BG11, BG10

After coloring, I cut out the image using the coordinating die set.

I wanted to create a simple, snowy background, so I cut an A2 card front out of white card stock and ink blended with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink on the left side of the card front. To add some snow, I stamped a mixture of snowflakes from the Snow Angel Newton Stamp Set using the same distress ink. For a touch of shimmer, I splattered the background with Confetti White Perfect Pearls.

I finished the card by stamping the sentiment “piles of warm winter wishes” from the Penguin Pile stamp set in black ink and popped up the penguins with foam tape.

I hope you join us in the Inky Paws Challenge for a chance to win $20 to the Newton’s Nook Online Store!
