Jolly - {SSSC248}

 Hi there and good morning!  It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

For my card I used the Mama Elephant stamp sets Arctic Penguins and Jolly and Merry (I made a batch of cards using these sets, I love these cute penguins).  A few details: After stamping the Jolly once in brocade blue, I stamped off and stamped it again just slightly off to give a shadowed look.  I used a silver glitter pen on the penguins hats and skates and within the letters of Holidays sentiment and I added some white pen to the little snowflakes to give them some pop.

May your holidays be JOLLY - {SSSC247}

 Hi there friends!  I hope those who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful holiday with loved ones.  Today it's Sunday and time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

For my card, I used the cute new Mama Elephant stamp sets Arctic Penguins and Jolly and Merry to create a Christmas card.  I started out with a white card base, then added a snowflake embossed black panel and a raspberry fizz banner.  On top of the banner, I added a piece of black and white polka dot paper and my tilted main panel with penguins.  A few details: each penguin has a little bit of Copic marker coloring to them and the trim on their hats is glittered.  The jolly sentiment was shadowed with a silver glitter pen and a rhinestone was added to the dot for the "j".  This was a super fun card to make, I love these little penguins!
