You Make My Heart Melt

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge. I thought about using a bunny for a spring theme, but ended up going in a completely different direction with a penguin front and center!

I built my card around the pretty rainbow plaid paper.  After adhering the large panel to a blue card base, I added a green pierced rectangle die cut on top, then the pair of coordinating fishtail flag strips.  I die cut the popsicle holding penguin from white cardstock, then stamped the matching image from the Penguins in Paradise set on the die cut.  It's colored with Copic markers.  I added a bit of Stickles to the top of the popsicle to give it an icy look.  I used foam tape to adhere the penguin to a white panel.  The "you make my heart melt" sentiment was stamped just beneath the penguin in black ink.  I adhered the panel to the cardfront to finish the design.
