I love how this card turned out. I made it for this week’s sketch challenge using the Penguin Place Bundle and the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper.
The sketch is from the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. When I saw the circle, I thought snowflake and then decided to add that cute penguin.
The Penguin Place Bundle has these adorable penguins and sentiments. There’s a coordinating punch for the penguin.
The Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper has some of the most beautiful patterns, especially the one I used with those sparkling snowflakes.
