Winter is here…. For me it is time to bundle up and stay inside! It is only because I was not made for cold weather… HAHAHAHA… But, my friends, it is never cold when you are around me!!!

Today, I made this mixed media card with this penguin using:

– Winter Hugs Clear Stamp Set
– Winter Hugs Die Set
– Diamond Tile Stencil

I created the background using Distress watercolor pencils (set 1,2,3) and white acrylic paint. And then I put the stencil on it and using some White Coconut Gelatos to add the texture on it. I added the background panel on the card with permanent adhesive runner.

I stamped the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad and I dried the ink with a craft heat gun. I colored the image using Altenew Artist alcohol markers and after coloring them, I cut them with the matching dies. I added them to the card with permanent adhesive glue.

For the sentiment. I stamped it on a white cardstock with black ink and then I cut it with the label die. I added to the card with thin 3D foam tape. And I embellished the card with some of those snowflake sequins.

Stay warm… Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
