What's black and white and ........


 
 black and white and black and white?!
Two penguins rolling down a hill! :)

Hiya friends!

I know it's Monday and typically I have a card from The Project Bin,
but Denise is on vacation and gave us the week off!
Thank you, Denise!

Now - aside from my witty cheesy penguin joke,
there's something(s) interesting about my card!


The interesting things about my card today:
1.  It's black and white!

Like. just. black. and. white! 

  Gasp!
That's a color combination you will next to never see me make ~
not just for my LOVE of colors and pops of rich vibrancy ♥
But as a migraine sufferer, it's a guarantee to trigger an attack
so I just don't use it .... ever ... unless it's for a card challenge
(and even then, I silently cringe and behave like a good crafter should!)
 
2.  It's my CASE card for the Galaxy Gazers card group,
in which we pick a card from the Splitcoaststampers gallery and CASE it!
As it so happens, the card I added to my favorites earlier last week 
was chosen at the Featured Stamper :)

Her name is Mandy and this is her adorable glittery penguin card: 


And here's my CASE of her card, keeping similiar to the overall pattern
and the color combination, addition of 'snow' and using a penguin.


 What I made a little different is I changed the snowfall from puffy
to using the die-namic from MFT called "snow fall - horizontal"
(a wonderful score at their summer retirement sale!)

I used the penguins from Your Next Stamp because of all my penguins,
I really thought they were the cutest and most mischevious :)
My Avery Elle-ment wonky cloud die looked like the best scallop shape to use,
and the sentiment is from an MFT stamp set, 
completed by using Ranger white embossing powder and versamark.

I know it's a bit odd, chosing a b/w card if they give me an instant migraine!
There were a few other cards in her gallery that I could have chosen 
for the August CASE, but her card really spoke to me as if it were the one.
And it was worth at least giving it a good 'ol college try!

This will be a busy week on my blog so I hope you get to peek in
and see all the crafty stuff I've been up to! :)

Thanks for stopping by today!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

  7. What a fun card Kelly! Love the cheeky penguins having fun in the snow. The sentiment is definitely 'You'. Having been a migraine sufferer myself, I know how colours can effect you. As I am now a lot older, I no longer have them, which is one good thing of getting older! Big hugs and blessings, Carol S.xxxx
