Card Maker Magazine & Sunny Studio Stamps Blog Hop!

Hello there!!  Today I am participating in the Card Maker Magazine and Sunny Studio Stamps Blog Hop!  Lots of inspiration coming your way, along with prizes and a discount code to go shopping!!

For my project, I used two Sunny Studio stamp sets - Snow Kissed and Bundled Up.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut the skiing penguin from the Snow Kissed stamp set,  It's  hard to tell in the picture, but I glittered her hat and scarf, and used glossy accents on her goggles to make them shiny.  I hand cut a hill using a post-it note and masked it off, then used Tumbled Glass distress ink to add some blue to the sky on my little square.  Then I popped the penguin up with foam tape, and matted the square with a pinked edge square.  I used Picked Raspberry distress ink very lightly to add some color to the background on a stitched rectangle die cut, and then stamped snowflakes in hot pink pink on a diagonal across the rectangle.  I popped the square up on the rectangle with foam tape, and stamped a sentiment from the Bundled Up stamp set.  Then I  added some sequins for a little sparkle, and adhered the panel on to a hot pink card base.

Be sure to hop along to see what everyone else on the hop has created!  Here is the hop order:
