Hello lovely Saturday! I just LOVE Saturdays!
So many possibilities lie ahead on Saturdays! Crafting, shopping, napping, staying up late all because it's Saturday! There just isn't another day quite as perfect!
On to today's "perfect" card! (Man I am starting to sound like my friend Katie! Honestly though that's a good thing! I wish I could be as positive as she is!)
This card is for Gina K's sketch challenge over on Stamp TV.
I wound up using LAST week's color challenge colors. I love Gina K challenges! They are usually pretty easy and you can win a Gina K stamp set! And you don't even have to use her stamps! You get double entries if you do but how cool is that?
I pulled out one of the very first Gina K sets I ever bought - way back when! It's called Sandy Claws and it's still available! I created a scene with the little penguin and the sign using masking. I also made it snow with the snowflakes from Holiday Hospitality! I had so much fun making this and coloring it!
The background piece of red I ran through my big kick with the candy cane stripe CB folder layered on Hawaiian shores. I punched the bottom of the focal image matte with my drippy goo punch - I think it looks like icicles don't you? I added some striped real red ribbon and stamped the sentiment on white then punched it out and tucked it up under.
Here's a close up of the coloring (not the best) and the sparkly ice on the sign and ground! I used Martha Stewart Mica Flakes glitter! FUN!
Then I just had to add some Marvy Liquid Applique to the brim and pom of the santa hat!

Thanks for stopping by today! This is one of the most enjoyable cards I have made in awhile - and that is saying something cause I love being crafty!
Today I am thankful for my Ford Escape! It is the first vehicle that I have picked out and bought on my own and I love it! It is super reliable and hip at the same time!
