Carol asked us to make a Christmas card using pastel colours, a bow and a penguin.
I've used the sketch for Ribbon reel 3:
This is also another card for my challenge 23 'wintertime blues' on my Christmas challenge blog - you can read about it here - if you haven't joined in yet, now would be a good time to start making those Christmas cards and, as the challenge was set on the first Saturday of the month, there will be a prize for a randomly picked winner.
The penguin image is a digital one from Delicious Doodles - I'm entering this for Delicious Doodles 28 ' texture' challenge - the texture on the white card has been created by using an embossing folder to create the dots. Also the silver ribbon has a texture to it. This is also for One stop craft 134 'texture' and Bling it on 4 'embossing'.

The scalloped circle was cut with a nestie and the image coloured with copics and the edges distressed with stormy sky DI. I was rather pleased with the way the bow turned out (often don't have much success with this kind of bow).
I think this could work as a card to give to a man, definitely a boy anyway, so this is also for:
