Caroling penguins


This is my card for today's Christmas card club challenge - Carol asked us to feature penguins.

I love this Penny Black 'caroling penguins' stamp - I inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir (not that there was much colouring to do). The background paper is from My Mind's Eye 12 days of Christmas paper pad. The ribbon  is from Crafty Ribbons, part of a prize I received for winning at the Allsorts Birthday week (a pity that most of it has been covered by the image!

I based the card on the sketch given for Atlantic hearts 59:

  27. Delightful PB image! I was tickled to see this image had the same description as the slapstick PB that I used for the CC theme. Must be different years???Your penguins are quite different in their looks and poses than the slapstick. Totally adorable, and I love the striped dp with them. So very festive. TFS & Hugs.
