My hubby came in, looked at this card and wanted to know if these were Mr. Popper's penguins. LOL They look like they're getting into as much trouble so I'm calling them Poppers. Their actual name is Christmas Penguins and they are from Stamping Bella's latest release.
For my card I used last weeks inspirational photo and gave the Poppers a pastel forest of trees.
I created some snowy hills for them and used a triple cut of the Simon Says Merry Christmas die embossed in gold for the sentiment. Whew! That tiny dot for the "i" was tough, but I got it embossed too. I then added some sequins for a little Christmas sparkle.
Copics Used:
Penguins N3, N5, N7, N9, Y35, Y38, YR21, YR61, BG0000, BV20, BV23
bow R27, R37, R39
bells Y28

Beautiful creation Tracy, that background of mountain snow and the image and colours are just gorgeous.xx
The Journey is the Start
ACK! another beauty! Tracy, what a fabulous scene you have made for these penquins. Love the layers of snow and that background paper is perfect. Your penguins are coloured to perfection! Gorgeous! off to pin it :). Hugs,
Oh, I love this adorable scene! Mr. Poppers penguins are so cute. Fabulous paper and the snow drifts are lovely. Another beauty! Hugs!
I was thinking Happy Feet, but Poppers is so much fun too. I loved that book as a kid and read it to my whipper snappers too. Your card is so much fun and that image is hilarious!! :)
Totally forgot to say, "Way to go" on that sentiment as well. Can't tell you how many times I pick the dot of the 'i' up on my elbow and unknowingly carry it around or knock it off my desk into the shag carpet..awesome! You did GREAT keeping it all together :)
happy weekend!
Adorable penguin card! Love the word die, very nice embossed in gold and I know how much work that was to layer and embossed it!
These family of penguins are so cute and adorable, love the way you have coloured them. Great layering and background too.

Oh, Tracy, you continue to inspire (and put a smile on my face) with each card! But this one is particularly cute!! LOL! Either movie (as someone also mentioned "Happy Feet") works! Absolutely beautifully made and such a sweet image! One of my best friends loves penguins, so I may just have to break down for this one! Hugs!
Tracy, this is adorable And gorgeous! I love the sweet penguins, your stitched snowy hills, and the beautifully embossed sentiment. The touch of sparkly sequins is the perfect peaceful snowfall. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us at My Craft Spot!

I have a real soft spot for penguins because my boy loved them growing up. These guys are adorable, and your coloring is just amazing. Love, love the scene you created with the tree background and all those snowy hills. The sequins look like falling snow. And the embossed sentiment is gorgeous. I have no idea how you managed to emboss that i dot, but it looks uh-mazing!!
I love penguins and these four are the most adorable that I have seen. Love the snow mountains and valleys! Thanks for sharing on the Delightful Challenge of Happy Holidays.
First of all I'd like to apologize for being MIA for more than a week, but we were in Germany (partly work, partly fun) and now in the midst of rebuilding the upper floors. Hence my absence. But I will try to visit you whenever I can Tracy! Even though I won't be able to every time you put up a new post. But when I do, I am able to enjoy your lovely work again and you most certainly have made such wonderful creations! Always a pleasure to see them! Thanks for sharing, hugs, Ira xox
