Penguin Birthday

Hi Everyone, I had to make another birthday card, and used another digital stamp. I used papers from a pad I fancied, and layered them onto plain paper that matched. I then sent the image into Silhouette and print and cut it 3 times. Already having made the birthday wishes circle awhile ago, I then added the shape of the penguin with the balloons merging them, so the circle incorporated the shape of the balloons. Something like masking!

Anyway, the penguin was coloured with marker pens, I then coloured the wishes on the shape and added the penguin image to the layer. With my mind not on things, and mojo still absent, I'm happy to say it all came together quite quickly, surprisingly, and I like the nearly monochrome look too. 

digital stamp - Bugaboo Stamps, (sorely missed)
markers - Spectrum Noir 
Silhouette
wishes frame - my own 
papers - Craft Sensations, Watercolour Designs (The Range)

Perfect color choices for a fun card! Hey, don't know if you followed Bugaboo owner on Facebook, but she has been making anemic sounds like she is thinking of starting it up again. I'll not place any bets at present, will let you know if it pans out! xoxo
