The theme this week is 'Seeing Double'.
As a Guest Designer, we were allowed to choose an image to work with, and I chose this sweet little Peekaboo Penguin, from The Stamping boutique.
I have used a Mountain Fold card base, and layered some pale blue Core'dinations embossed with a snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug. Then layered some christmas papers on top from My Mind's Eye, Snowed In.
Printed and coloured two Peekaboo penguins with Promarkers, and added some glossy accents to the beaks, and some Glamour Dust to the hat rim and bobble. Mounted these onto a matt silver circle cut with a pinking die from X-Cut - Spiro Circles.
Wrapped some red Baker's Twine from The Ribbon Reel around the two front panels, and added some gems in co-ordinating colours.
Hidden on the back, I stamped a christmas greeting, from Waltzingmouse Stamps Very Vintage Christmas.
Finally added some paper roses to the top corner.
I had a lot of fun making this sweet card, it's going to my youngest daughter as she has requested it!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Peekaboo Penguin Digi Stamp - The Stamping Boutique; Very Vintage Christmas - Waltzingmouse Stamps
