"belated" Happy New Year ~ 2017!

Caught up with uploading my 1st card this year ~ 2017. :) 

I used all stamps and a die from Lawn Fawn. I also tore a grey CS, after embossing with the clear shimmer EP, by hand. 

I just saw someone's posting a lot of snow STILL, but in Canada. ;) 

Hope you all are enjoying a beautiful spring day, wherever you are!

"Make your own patterned paper with stamps"

at Lawnscaping challenge this week. I've been wanting to use this Smiley Penguin for a very long time, with this sentiment. In fact, I once tried to make a card with this penguin & the sentiment but something happened, and I didn't finish the card. Anyways, I had to make my own patterned paper with stamps, so I did, with these cute Penguins!! The baby penguin also came to HELP! lol :-) There is an airplane on the original sentiment stamp but i didn't ink that part. I really luv this grey copic marker so I used the marker to color the edges of the layering cs , as well as the Flamingo color marker to match the colors of images. I could've Embellished more but I didn't, because I wanted to emphasize more on BACKGROUND Paper which I created with stamping. The sentiment is adhered with dimentional foams. I haven't STAMPED this much on One card for a while, and it was actually lots of FUN! :-)
