Today's challenge at Merry Monday is to use an animal on your Christmas card. Check out this adorable inspiration photo.
For my card, I went with another digi image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I've called this fellow Percy the Penguin.
This image was colored before I bought some Xpress-it cardstock, so it's colored onto Shimmery White, which allowed the color to bleed a little. I used the color on Percy's scarf to determine my color scheme, which is Bermuda Bay and Basic Black. I also did some stenciling using a Simon Says Stamp stencil called Fallling Snow. All the Bermuda Bay cardstock was spritzed with some Frost White Shimmer Mist.
A sentiment from Joyous Celebration finishes off the card.
Thanks for visiting. Pop on over to the Merry Monday blog to check out the rest of the DT inspiration and have a go at the challenge yourself.
