The Whimsy and Stars Studio Blog Hop is still running through tomorrow.
You can find my post for it here.
The amazing Tracy Payne was way ahead of me in votes at Fashionista, but if you still haven't
voted and would like to add a few more to my card I'd sure love it. ☺ You guys are the best!
Lots of layers and a bit of black to compliment Mr. Penguin. For the snowflake I first covered it with gesso and then lightly added some modeling paste for texture. The finishing touches were a little Stickles and a shiny rhinestone.
Since it's the first challenge of December you can use any Mo image you have to play along. Hope to see your creation in the entries! There's a $5.00 voucher up for grabs.

Tracey this is stunning the image is adorable and the layout is gorgeous. Caroline xxx
Wonderful sketch, awesome papers, and adorable image. Just a super card in every way!
I don't exactly know what makes penguins so adorable but I really like them (and my son does, too – especially DreamWorks' Penguins of Madagascar *lol*). And I love how you've colored this cutie, Tracy.
Hugs, Anja
Tracy
This little guy is colored to perfection. I love how you did the design with the bright background papers edged with black. I love his hilights you gave him too! Just so perfect - it's a card that makes you smile!! Hugs
Gesso, molding paste? Oh be still my heart..I'm in heaven!!! You are absolutely right. There are penguins on parade here in blogland, BUT this little fella has got to be one of the cutest! Oh boy, oh boy, I do hope it's Talapia in his package!!! YUMMMM!
Terrific job Hick...you never cease to inspire me. :)
hugs,
Twang
p.s... Here's a tissue too {}. Well, sort of. I'll work on it.

Hehe, such a cute card, Tracy! I love penguins and yours is adorable :-) I love your card sketch as well! I always find inspiration when I visit your blog :-)
As for the paper I use, yes, it is exactly watercolor paper :-) People find it strange when I say that I use it with alcohol markers but it actually works perfect for me :-) You should give it a shot :-)

what a CUTE image - and I love the layout! Thanks for joining us at Christmas at Sweet Stampin with our 'anything goes challenge, hope to see you again soon, hugs xx
Oh, I'm so sorry Tracy was ahead of you at Fashionista! She does have a special style but I prefered your Mo card. I know I'm biased when it comes to Mo images but well, I think that one really had a sweet message:)
Love this one as well; your coloring of that cute pinguin is fantastic! You are so prolific with your cards; where on Earth do all these ideas come from?:))
HUgs!
Beautiful and awesome sketch. Might have to case this idea... ;0)
What a sweet little penguin! Your coloring is just fantastic. Thanks for joining us this month at Unique Crafters Challenge!
