Hello! Can you believe it’s February already? The first Saturday of the month means it’s sketch challenge time at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown.
I found this adorable little penguin stamp and sentiment at a stamping and scrapbooking store in Florida when we were visiting my husband’s family over the Christmas holidays, and I’ve been wanting to ink it up ever since we got back home. Today’s card finally gave me the chance to do that. The scarf is colored to coordinate with the card base and the satin ribbon (and in real life, they really do go well together – it’s just hard for me to capture that in a photo). I’ve had these snowflake eyelets for a long time, and it’s nice to use up a few of them here. I’ve stretched out the sketch into an A2 sized rectangle (5.5″ x 4.25″).
I hope you’ll go over to the 52{C}CT website to see what the rest of the design team has made, and to join me in giving a warm welcome to our three newest design team members! Then show us what you can make with our sketch. You have until 1:00 p.m. Eastern time Friday, February 7 to link your card. We hope you’ll participate in our challenge this week!

What an adorable little penguin, I can see why you were keen to ink him up! Love the colours and the snowflake eyelets are great accents!
He’s so cute! Love the ribbon as the banners, I am sure they match perfectly in RL -they certainly look good here. Those snow eyelets are great fun as embellishments. Fab take on the sketch
