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!

You Make My Heart Melt card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from My Favorite Things
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.

Materials Used:
Penguins in Paradise stamp sets, Die-namics Penguins in Paradise, Pierced Rectangle Stax and Fishtail Flag Stax dies (My Favorite Things); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Lakehouse cardstock (WPlus9); Tropical Teal, Simply Chartreuse, and Lemon Tart cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Hello Spring-Pretty in Plaid designer paper (Little Yellow Bicycle); Diamond Stickles (Ranger); foam tape

  3. Sweet card! The penguin pulls off springy perfectly... especially if you're in the south where it's perfect weather for a Popsicle today!
