#thedailymarker30day Colouring Challenge - Day 22 using Funky Fossil Designs "Festive Penguins"

Today I have used the Funky Fossil Designs "Festive Penguins" clear stamp set.  Stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and coloured with Distress Oxide inks and Arteza Brush Pens.

#thedailymarker30day Colouring Challenge - Day 5 (Funky Fossil "Festive Penguins"

Just a quick reminder that Funky Fossil have 20% off stamps this weekend if you use the discount code of "STAMP20" at checkout - the offer closes at midnight on Monday 13th April (UK time).

This is my make for Day 5 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge.

In the background I have used a Funky Fossil stencil called "Christmas Tree Duo" for the trees with Distress Oxide Inks.

I stamped the sentiment and the penguin image using the Funky Fossil "Festive Penguins" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I coloured the penguin using Prima Confections "Tropical Water Colours and then fussy cut the shape and stuck it to the card.

I added some falling snow by using a Wow! emobossing pen with Stampendous "Chunk White" embossing enamel and then heated.

Design Team Project for "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog" #410 "Christmas Animals"

It's time for a new prompt on the "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog".  Challenge #410 is "Christmas Animals".  If you have a minute to spare, please do pop over to the challenge to take a look at the fab creations by my Design Team colleagues.

For my card I've used a Stampin' Up embossing folder called "Softly Falling" for the background.

For the wreath, I have used another Stampin' Up product called "Swirly Scribbles" thinlits dies and the "Pretty Pines Thinlits" dies for the foliage behind the penguin.

For the penguin and the sentiment, I used a Funky Fossil clear stamp set called "Festive Penguins".  I stamped the penguin on a spare piece of card and the sentiment in Versafine "Smokey Gray" ink.  I used water colour pencils to colour the penguin, I then cut it out and adhered the shape over the wreath and foliage.

Day 13 - The Thirty Daily Marker Thirty Day Challenge #thedailymarker30day

This is my make for "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge".

I started this card by using a Distress Oxide Ink called "Stormy Sky" through a "Funky Fossil Scandi Quilt Stencil".

I used the sentiment and penguin from a Funky Fossil clear stamp called "Festive Penguins".  I stamped the sentiment over the stencilled background and the penguin on an off-cut of white card.  I used Arteza Brush Pens to colour the penguin and then cut it out and adhered onto the stencilled background.

For this card, I started by using Distress Oxide Inks in two blue shades: Chipped Sapphire and Blueprint Sketch through the Funky Fossil "Birch Forest" stencil.

I trimmed the image down then adhered a curved piece of card over the lower section to create a snowscape.  I stamped the "Let It Snow" sentiment using Versafine Clair "Twilight" which is a very dark blue ink.  I added a pale blue area to the left of the sentiment, using Distress Oxide "Tumbled Glass" ink, that the penguin will stand on.

On a separate piece of card, I stamped two images of the penguin.  I coloured the penguin by painting Distress Oxide inks on the hat area of both penguin images.  For the body on one of them I used my Arteza Brush Pens.

I cut out the full image of the coloured penguin and adhered into position over the blue paint washed area on the snow.

I then cut the had around the hat on the second penquin image and adhered it over the hat on the card to give dimension to it.  I added touches of glitter to the hat using a Sakura gelly roll pen.

I wanted to go for a CAS (Clean and Simple) look for this card, so stamped this little skating penguin and the sentiment in the bottom corner (using Versafine Glair "Morning Mist" grey shade of ink).  I coloured the penguin figure using Arteza Brush Pens and gave a hint of blue beneath him using "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Ink
