Winter Penguin Shaker

Hello, everyone! I'm still in the festive mood! Today I made a card featuring an adorable image from By Miss Rach called Winter Penguin. Isn't he the sweetest?! I recently won a whole bunch of "Christmas in July" images from By Miss Rach and I couldn't wait to colour this cutie  - thank you, Miss Rach!

I coloured him with Prismacolor pencils and added Snow Writer to his hat and Glossy Accents to his eyes. You all know I love to make shaker cards so I made another one!  This time I used glitter in my shaker along with sequins, but I probably won't do it again.  All the glitter fell to the bottom and I wasn't crazy about how it looked, so I hid it with a ribbon bow. You can still see the glitter when you shake the card though.  This card has a lot of sparkle as the added snowflakes are die-cut from white glitter cardstock.

Here are the other products used:

• Dies: Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles, Memory Box Twilight Snowflakes, Lawn Fawn Mini Stitched Snowflakes
• Embossing folder: Taylored Expressions Winter Flurry
• Sentiment stamp: Sugar Pea Designs - Sweet Treats
• Glitter cardstock: Colorbok 
• Ribbon: DL.ART Christmas Red
• Accents: Clear sequins, Darice glitter 

I was inspired by this sketch at Sketch Saturday #420:
