Christmas with Penguins

Welcome!  No, I am not ready for snow but these Penguins like snow and are dressed
ready for Christmas.  Since I was doing water coloring this week, I decided to do another Card with penguins that I water colored with Water Color Pencils and Distress Inks using a watercolor brush. This digital stamp from Pollycraft was printed on watercolor paper. I added some glitter with Sakura Clear Star pen and inked the edge of the image with Red Marker and attached to an Snowflake embossed Pattern Paper from Crate Paper Snowy Day Pad. The sentiment is from Creative Clear Stamps.

Challenges:
Merry Monday: #172 Use Water Coloring on a Christmas Card.
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra: Anything Christmas
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge: Anything with Pattern Paper
Papertake Weekly: It will soon be here.

My New Gardener Friend, Flo

This is Flo ....I found her in my file of Digi's from Pollycraft and had forgot about her until I went looking for a stamp for The Great Outdoors challenge at Pollycraft Monday Challenge.  I am sorry I have ignored her because she is the cutest gardener! She looks so pretty colored in purple and pink Copics and  framed by purple dots on the pattern paper with flowers. I added a cut out flower with a brad in her fave color.

Make a Splash for Summer

I have been trying to use more digi  stamps as I have a ton in my files. I came across this one that I had never used and thought it would be perfect for the challenge at Pollycraft for the "Make a Splash" Challenge. After finishing the card, I wish I had made the mermaid larger or the flower smaller??? Too late to change now for the challenge but may change later. But I like the overall layout and colors. I combined with the sketch challenge at City Crafters and recipe challenge at Critter Sketch.
Supplies:
Digital Image: Pollycraft "Mermaid" Freebie
Ink: Memento Summer Sky for Sponging Sea
Copics: BG10,11,15, E000,00,11, Y23,32,26, R20
