Hi everyone, in the run up to Christmas one of the lovely members over on the Tracy Evans FB group has organised a 1-1 Christmas card swap. This struck me as a really fun idea and I have several of Tracy’s Christmas stamps so I decided to join in. Here’s the card I made - sadly it has been delayed in the post so my swap partner said she didn’t mind me publishing it to enter a few challenges .. she won’t peek lol!
I created my bauble by blending Distress Oxide ink round my bauble stencil, then I created snowy hills by blending more DOX using a torn paper mask, and a moon with a teeny home made circle mask. I masked the area around the bauble and stamped the trees using 1st and 2nd generation Twilight VFC then added the penguin. I stamped my teeny text in Morning Mist and my fern branches in Twilight, then coloured the penguin’s chest with Zig pens. I added white Signo pen snowy highlights to the trees topped with Sakura Stardust pen, and added Posca pen snowy highlights spatters before matting onto a dark blue card stock border and 6” card blank. Finally I attached a sentiment I had stamped onto blue cardstock and heat embossed white.

Hi Pauline, I just got back from my 10 day overseas trip so I am a bit behind with commenting.
Your card is absolutely beautiful, love how you used Tracy's new penguin stamp set along with the pine branch. So great to see you at Four Seasons challenge!
