A Magical Day - Mama Elephant

Hello Crafty Friends! My card today features some adorable little penguins from Mama Elephant's Little Penguin Agenda. There are so many fun poses to choose from it was hard to narrow down so I grabbed a bunch of my favorites. I really love smaller images sometimes because you can fit so many on a card! 

I cut the frame for the background using Framed Tags - Hug it Out Creative Cuts. Once I die cut it I used washi tape on the back to keep the frame and the inside together while I ink blended the sky. I wanted a seamless look and this seemed easiest to me.  I used distress oxide ink in Spun Sugar for the sky. I used my largest blender brush to make fading it out into white a little easier. I have found the larger the brush the easier it is for me to get this kind of fade. I  splattered the card using distress ink in the same color and a bit of water. Once the blending was done I cut some little hills from another center panel I die cut using the same Hug it Out frame using the Landscape Trio dies. I popped the frame and the front hill up on some foam tape for a little dimension. 

Lastly I colored my little penguins using some various copic markers. N10, N8, N6 & N1for the bodies with R20 for their rosy cheeks and YR02 for the beaks and feet. Accesories: RV10, YR02, Y11, G00, B00, BV01, E44, E43 & B0000. A simple black ink sentiment finished off the design.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
