Penguins

This is my second birthday card of the four I need to make. This one is for my dad. I thought the penguins were the perfect winter theme for a winter birthday....plus he really likes penguins. The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4." I used black cardstock for the card base. I then cut some blue patterned paper 1/4" smaller and adhered it down. I cut some black cardstock at 3 1/2"x4 1/2." I cut some white cardstock 1/8" smaller and embossed it with the Happy Birthday embossing folder and my Cuttlebug. I stamped my penguins on some white cardstock and colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. I matted it with some black cardstock and adhered it to the embossed rectangle. I wrapped the embossed rectangle with some black twine and added a button. I then adhered it to the card base. The senitment was stamped on white cardstock and also matted it with black cardstock. I used pop-dots to adhere the sentiment to the card.
I made this for the following challenges:
Peachy Keen: sketch
Whimsical Wednesdays: winter theme with layers
