A Little Penguin Joy in Slimline

Hi there!

The holidays are quickly approaching and I’m busy making as many holiday cards as I can.  In the past, I’ve chosen just one design that I send to everyone on my list – but this year I think I’ll mix things up a bit and make several different designs.  What do you do for your holiday cards?

Today, my card features and adorable penguin decorating a Christmas tree – and my all-time-favorite “Joy” die that I’ve had for years!

I also switched things up a bit by making a slimline card – it’s not a card size I do often but I love how it makes the sky seem vast and snowy and adds depth to the card.

This was a very easy card to make – a little Copic coloring and ink-blending – with plenty of splatters – and this card was done.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

    Hi Jean. Your card is so sweet. I love the glitter and sparkle everywhere around this cute little penguin. I really like slimline cards too.

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
