This week at Pile It On, our challenge is Feeling Cool (Winter theme and/or Cool colors). We're sponsored by Dilly Beans Stamps, so I used Digi #524 - Three Penguin Blocks to to make this doubly-cool card (theme & colors!):
The front of the card is a piece of embossed vellum. The base card is a pretty DP that I scored at about a half inch and attached to the vellum. I covered the overlap with a grosgrain ribbon that I fringed at one end is make a little scarf! The piece of blue DP on the bottom of the card helps to stabilize the vellum.
The tag was made with a Cuttlebug die and stamped with one of my favorite holiday sentiments. I used a little glittered brad to attach it. The Penguin Blocks are colored with Copics and gel pens, plus I added some Sparkly Fluff to the hat on the bottom buddy.
Instead of having the message on the inside of the card, I put it on the back. I used a different shade of the same DP from the the front of the card (this was part of a paper pack; I can't remember who by); I actually cut a scalloped circle out of the DP and made a frame the blue DP so that I could just use the white base of the card instead of using another piece of paper. Then I can keep the extra cut-outs for another project.
