Hi friends, it’s Samantha! The current challenge is all about those sweet, cute and happy holiday critters, so this time, I decided to make a card with the adorable penguins!



I stamped and colored the images from Penguin Party and Toboggan Together and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I thought it would be so fun to try something different and make the penguins bright and happy in yellow! So fun! I added some details with a white gel pen to finish them off!



I die cut out the frame from Peekaboo Backdrop in white and then popped it up with foam tape. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina to add color to the square and rectangle windows for the winter sky. Then I splattered some white acrylic in on top to mimic snow!


I also used the Stitched Hillside Borders to die cut out some hills of snow for behind the frame. I added a very light blending of Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the tops so the hills would match the blue tint of the snowballs and snow cones.


I finished the card off by popping up some of the penguins and then sprinkling some silver sequins around the adorable winter scene!

Thank you, Samantha for putting the spotlight on these adorable penguins for the Holiday Critters challenge!

Mimi used the Inspiration Colors to create a frosty arctic scene!


For the background, Mimi created a glacier by combining Desert Canyon Backdrop and Stitched Mountain Borders. She used the teal colors with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink to create the icy environment. Mimi brought in the pink shades with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink for the sky.


Beary Happy Holidays and Penguin Party provide the critters for this cute scene, including the pink salmon! Mimi used rocks from Wild Wolves and Critters in the Desert for more icy detail.

Thank you so much for sharing this clever inspiration, Mimi!
