Two Cute Penguins - Colour Crazy Challenge for the 21st of December 2018

Here is my last card for 2018! Wow, I can't believe how quickly that this year has passed.

At Colour Crazy Challenge we are being sponsored by Polkadoodles and the image I chose was two Cute Penguins.

I have digitally printed the two cute penguins on to X-Press It Blending card. I combined the two images in my Silhouette Cameo software and then proceeded to try and cut them out, but he is misbehaving - hopefully over the next month I can sort him out!
I have used the following Copics markers to colour the cute penguins:

• black - C3, C5, C7, C9, black Wink of Stella
• white - C00, C0, C1
• feet and beaks - YR12, YR16, YR18
• scarves - R22, R24, R27, G02, G05, G07
• holly leaves - YG13, YG67, G09, G19
• holly berries - R14, R17
• snow - BV20, C0, colourless blender, clear Wink of Stella
• background - BG0000, BG000, BG10

I went pretty simple and CAS with the design of the card. I used a sentiment from Tweet Tidings by the wonderful Marcella at Power Poppy. I stamped it in Rich Cocoa Memento ink using my MISTI.

The Kraft card is from Envelope Solutions.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

Last Tree Cards - Winter Wonderland Challenge for the 7th of December, 2018

Hi All!

It is the last challenge of the year at Winter Wonderland!

And the end of year theme is:

ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES

Please remember that it is Christmas projects only and they must include the theme.

This challenge will go until the 3rd of January next year and from next year we are changing to monthly instead of fortnightly challenges. We will be posting a new challenge on the first Friday of every month.

So back to this challenge, we are sponsored by...

website - http://www.doctor-digi.com
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DoctorDigi

The prize for the winner of the challenge is 2 digis of their choice.

Welcome to the brilliantly bizarre brain of Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. Here you will find monsters, aliens, odd balls and Dundertons as well as many more.

So on to my card this challenge - I have used the Last Tree in the Shop and I have digitally printed it on to X-Press It Blending Card and then had my Silhouette Cameo cut out the image. He actually behaved this week! :) I printed and cut a few images of the same size with the intention of making a pack of six little cards and envelopes.
I have only had time to finish two of them:

I have coloured the image with the following Copics markers:

• tree - E71, E74, E77
• star - Y32, YR15, clear Wink of Stella
• baubles - Y28, BV000, BV01, BV04, V12, V15, V17, clear Wink of Stella
• "soil" - E99
• base - R22, R24, R27, G02, G05, G07, clear Wink of Stella
• background - BG0000, BG000, BG10

I have adhered the coloured image to small square Kraft cards from Envelope Solutions.

Then I have used my behaving Silhouette Cameo to cut out some small envelopes from Metallic Red Canson Messages paper.

Here is a close-up of the colouring - you can actually see the sparkle!

I will add these cards to the following challenges:

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge #42 - Anything Christmas Goes

Crafty Creations Challenge #379 - Anything Goes
