Hello. Welcome. Sometimes it doesn't have to make sense it just has to be. A little unconventional Christmas with the colours from this months Rubber Dance challenge, pink, tealish and grey and/or embossing.
Two Norwegian penguins swimming amongst magenta stars wishing you a Merry Christmas. OK, there are no penguins in Norway, except in the zoo. But we can all dream can't we....
I started by sprinkling grey Brusho powder on grey cardstock and spritzing with water. I love the unexpected flecks of colour that pop up. Except that gold one! That might have been me being a bit previous......
Then I went looking for a star stamp. I found this one from Retro Beach set. It's actually starfish in a net but the Penguins were fine with that!! I stamped them and embossed with Ranger Magenta embossing powder. Then I smudged the edges of the card with versamark ink and embossed with the same magenta powder.
Ah, here's the gold splashes again!! I used my gold pilot marker. A few artistic flicks and it's a gold and magenta delight.
Then I added my Rubber Dance Playful Penguins, stamped, embossed, coloured with Colourcraft Blue Aztec paint and fussy cut. The sentiment (Happy Christmas) was stamped on a scrap of the brusho background, embossed magenta and edged with Picked Raspberry DOx.
