*Exciting news!* I'm a Guest Designer!

Hi everyone!

I'm super excited to finally share this wonderful bit of news ~

I'm absolutely delighted to have been asked 

to Guest Designer for Dare2B Artsy stamps for the month of March :)

For the next couple of weeks, I'll be showcasing several stamp sets

on various cards and styles ~ like this one today!

I know most of you had a little bit of warmer weather - 

and now this weekend a little more snow!

Even in March, there is snow much fun to be had ♥

One of the stamp sets I chose to work with is Penguin Fun!

For my playful arctic penguin scene,

 I stamped out 2 of the penguins, the sled, and the christmas tree.

The images are stamped in Dare2BArtsy's Premium black ink ...

so crisp and clean!

I use prismacolor markers - which are alcohol based - 

 and look at how wonderful it colored and blended!

While I hand cut these images for today's card,

 this Penguin Fun stamp set does have a matching die set, too.

 I added a few layers of dsp for snow banks and background,

a few enamel dots and propped up the penguins with 3d foam tape.

                              Here is my arctic Penguin Fun card:

 For the inside of my card,

I left the image uncolored and added another sentiment from the set.

A few more enamel dots 

and this penguin's winter fun card is finished :)

To find this stamp set, dies, stamps, inks, and more
