P-p-p-pick up a pile of penguins

A little bit unusual for me but I really wanted to make a pile of three penguins for a friend’s little girl who is turning three… and LOVES penguins. So I made this really simple but fun card.

I positioned the penguins using the Stamp-a-ma-jig®, which rarely leaves my side these days. There’s no way those penguins would have managed this death-defying feat without it!

The black line was drawn freehand, then I added a little pale blue using a Bashful Blue marker and blender pen.

I cut the flags out freehand… which is why they’re all different sizes. The sticks are just cocktail sticks, trimmed to length.

Stamps: Wild About You (p32), Daily Flexible Phrases (p65)
Cardstock: Lovely Lilac, Pretty in Pink, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Stampin’ Write markers, blender pen (p81), black gingham ribbon (p86)
