Penguin Love

I always find it easier to start a card with a nice fresh sketch, especially on tired days.  

Entering this card into the following challenges:

PROCESS:

1. Stamp penguins in black ink on white cardstock, and again on a Post-It note for masking.
2.  Trim mask so only white areas on adult penguins show when placed on top of main stamping. Remove mask.
3. Use blue inks and snowflake stamps to fill in belly/chest areas. Use fingertip dauber and teal ink to shade. Use white pen to highlight center of snowflakes.
4. Use markers to fill in yellow areas and draw a heart on the little guy. Use grey markers to fill in shadows and borders as shown.
5. Using teal ink, stamp large snowflake on white card, and smaller snowflakes on cardstock scraps.  Punch these out, centering.
6. Stamp phrase on a turquoise strip of cardstock in black ink, and cut a square to go underneath main panel as a border.
7. Affix all components as shown and dot center of circles with the black enamel accents.  Allow to dry.
