Happy 2012!

Happy New Year everyone!

  

I thought I'd share a couple more cards today using my new goodies! :)

 

The more and more cards I make, the more I realise the need for several ink colours!!! I've been holding out on the chocolate one (waiting for the new PTI one to come out) and I seriously need to get some Melon Berry, Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise shades! Hoping they're all released soon so I can order with more cardstock (I'm down to my last sheet of Rustic Cream and not much white left either T_T).

    

Anyway, let's get onto some cute cards, shall we?

 

The first one's the Winter Penguin card. I love that little fella! Such a cute wee penguin. And how great is it that we have penguins in New Zealand (yes! on our shores!!!). Unfortunately it's the middle of summer so I had to drop the "winter" bit out of the "Winter Penguin" set lol

 

I had to do a bit of set collage with this card. Melon Berry mat was impressed with Diamonds impression plate. I stamped the penguin from Winter Penguins, cupcake from Tag-Its #10, and the hat from My Cute Stamp's Spaceships and Robots set!!! It's a bit of a mix n' match, but I'm loving the combination!

     

The next card uses Tiny Tags II. I got the idea (pretty much copied, more like) of making a background using the Tiny Tags from Nichole Heady's card. Then I topped it with Tag-Its #10 and Pure Poppy ribbon.

    

    

And no, I didn't mist anything today! Haha.

Anyway, thank you all for coming by. Hope you all have a fab New Years Day with many joys and blessings in the year ahead :)

Meet Mr. Tremendous Penguin

Hi everyone! Thought I'd share cute wee card before going off. I'm beginning to lose track of what's been blogged and what's not. LOL.

So, say hello to Mr. Tremendous Penguin. He's an adorable wee one from the Tremendous Treats: Christmas set. We have penguins in New Zealand but unfortunately we don't often have white Christmas (it's summer here FYI). We have historically had the wacky odd one once every few decades though.

However, tradition says, snowy Christmas cards are still acceptable. Haha.

I really haven't got much to say about this card, other than the fact that it's easy to make! I coloured in the penguin with colouring pencil. I'm going to try and get some Copic Sketch Markers soon. It seems that they are reasonably priced in Singapore and I'm going to get Steph to help me out a bit :)

Anyway, thank you for coming by!
