Holiday Hello Penguin

Hello, everyone!  Before I get started, I would like to welcome my newest follower - Ayla Oso - thank you for joining me!  If you could please include a link to your blog in the comments below, I will hop over and follow you too!  

Today I'm sharing a holiday card in my favourite colour - pink!  The cute penquin, cup, and bow are a pre-coloured digital from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I added clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle to the penquin's bow and then fussy-cut all of the images; with the penguin being adhered with foam tape.  

The embossing folder is Simon Says Stamp Filigree Snowflakes and I used a Recollections snowflake punch on a scrap of white cardstock.  The stitched pink squares and strips were leftovers (scraps/ snippets) from my quilt-inspired cards here and here.  I added some scraps of patterned paper and stamped a sentiment from Your Next Stamp.

My card design was inspired by Sketch Saturday 692:
