So how about a little Purple and Orange for NON-TRADITIONAL Christmas colors??!! Here's what I came up with using a High Hopes Rubber Stamps called Waddlin' By...
Isn't he a cutie all bundled up in his purple scarf?! I colored this little guy with my Copics using a V04 & V06 for the scarf, and then some peachy orange colors (YR01, YR09, & YR18) for his feet, heart, and beak. Cool Grays were used for his body.
I die cut a top panel using a stitched rectangle and circle die from Lil Inkers and then inlaid a die cut circle of dsp from SU! (Feels Like Frost) with metallic snowflakes. My sentiment is from Avery Elle's Brrring On The Joy stamp set, and the penguin was attached with a wobbler...I think my sweet Addy will like playing with this when I send it to her at Christmas (Purple is her favorite color!).
We hope you'll join us and finish up the last of those Christmas cards!
