P P Pick Up a Penguin (or Two!)

I have a pair of Christmas cards to share today...made using a pair of Molly Blooms penguin stamps that I picked up from a charity shop last week. I stamped them onto watercolour paper, along with a sentiment using stamps from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, coloured them using watercolour pencils, then cut them out using Nesties. I paired them with spotty papers from the 'Christmas Basics' pad by Dovecraft...distressing the edges and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen.

'Mini Percy with Star Banner'

'Dean' (There's a larger version of this stamp called 'Torvill' - ha ha!)

Pile of Presents

Today's card features another stamp that I picked up in a charity shop over the Easter break. It's by Molly Blooms, and is called 'Pile of Presents'. I stamped it onto watercolour paper, along with a sentiment using a stamp from an old Lili of the Valley set, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I used a piece of paper from the 'Back to Basics Christmas' pad by Dovecraft...distressing the edges a little before adding faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
