You're the Coolest

Here's my card for the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge and color challenge. I used one of my favorite MFT summer images, the penguin with a popsicle from the Penguins in Paradise set, for this card. I colored up the penguin with Copic markers, then cut out the colored image with the matching die. For an icy look, I coated the top of the popsicle with some glitter. It's been a while since I've used glitter and I'd forgotten how messy it is...The penguin was adhered to a cream pierced circle die cut using foam tape for dimension, then layered on to a blue card base over a pair of diagonal teal and coral cardstock stripes. The set's "you're the coolest" sentiment was stamped on a strip of coral cardstock and tucked beneath the penguin's feet to finish the card.

Materials Used:
Penguins in Paradise stamp set, Summer Splash cardstock, Penguins in Paradise and Pierced Circle STAX dies (My Favorite Things); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Cameo Coral and Taken with Teal cardstock, Dazzling Diamonds glitter (Stampin' Up!); foam tape
