Christmas Challenges (with sketches) #11

Another two weeks gone and we've a new sketch over at CCWS to inspire you. This time we are sponsored by Judikins and it was Nicole's turn to design the sketch, here is my take:


I've started with an A6 card base in pearlised silver. Backing papers are from my stash. Icicle border is a Marianne Design die cut from pearlised white card, stamp is from Penny Black (my trusty old favourite) and I've coloured with promarkers, highlighted with stickles then used TH faded blue jeans to shade the back ground, image is mounted 3d to base. Card is finished with a stamped sentiment and some buttons.
Please visit the challenge blog to view the sketch for yourself and see my team mates interpretation of it.

Crafty Boots - zoo/animal
Crafty Cardmakers - anything goes (C15)
Oldie but Goodie - wings
Cardmadfairy's Digi Days - too early for Christmas

    Your card made me smile; those funny penguins. Or at least I find them funny with the bright blue hats.
