Penguin & Snowballs

This is a 5"x5" card, made from white cardstock. I cut some patterned paper from DCWV's Peppermint Forest Stack at 4 7/8"x4 7/8" and layered it on the card base. The three large snowflakes on the left side are cut at 1 1/2" from Home Accents. I used some dark blue shimmery cardstock for the shadow and white cardstock for the regular snowflake. I cut a piece of teal paper at 3"x3" and embossed it with the Snowflakes folder and then I sanded it to reveal its white core. I used a black pen to add some faux stitching and foam tape to adhere the teal square onto the card. I cut the penguin from Simply Charmed at 2 1/2." The small snowflakes are cut from Speaking of Winter and using the same shimmery blue cardstock for the shadow and white cardstock for the regular snowflake. I then used dimamond Stickles on the white to make the snowflakes shimmer. I made of stack of snowballs out of flat-backed pearls and made a little sign for the pile with a toothpick and some white cardstock. I handwrote the sentiment.

I made this card for the following challenges:
