The cold has definitely hit us this past couple of days. In celebration, today’s Penguin Christmas Scene card on the Seven Hills Crafts blog features these chilly little penguins getting ready for Christmas. Not to panic anyone but we only have 56 days (which means ~8 weekends!) to prepare! š
Penguin Christmas Scene Card Tutorial
I started by stamping out all the cute penguins and accessories in the Mama Elephant Cool Penguins set onto some blending cardstock using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink. I coloured these in with my Copic markers, sticking to a pretty basic festive colour scheme. When finished, I added a few finishing touches with my white gel pen and added a layer of Wink of Stella for some sparkle. I cut these out with my Scan N Cut, though there are coordinating dies available.
To build up the background scene, I used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die to cut out two white panels. From one of these I used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border die to cut out some snowy hills. I used some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink to add some dimension to the top of the hills.
On the other panel, I blended on some Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink to create a bright background sky. I flicked on some water droplets and some watered down acrylic paint to give the impression of falling snow.
For the sentiment, I white heat embossed the sentiment from theĀ Mama Elephant Cool PenguinsĀ set in the top left corner. Then all that was left to do was to put the scene together! I used a mixture of liquid glue and foam tape to give some dimension. Lastly, a few sequins to add a little sparkle to the background!
Thanks for reading and I hope I didn’t panic you! š
