Dare to Be Different

I’ve had several different ideas for variations on this card floating around in my mind since I first saw the pair of penguin images in the DoodleFactory Arctic set from Starving Artistamps. Here’s what I finally settled on to showcase the images.

I stamped one of the penguin images repeatedly on a pale gray circle in gray ink. I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the images, leaving a space in the center for the other penguin image. I stamped the penguin with outstretched wings on a cardstock scrap, colored it with Copic markers, and cut it out, then added it to the stamped circle with foam tape so it stood out from the rest.

I stamped the “dare to be different” sentiment from the U-Niquely U set in Not Quite Navy ink on Soft Sky cardstock to match the card base. The sentiment panel is edged with a gray strip and accented with some soft gray taffeta ribbon.
