Sweet Holiday Penguins - My Favorite Things

 Hello everyone,

I am flying by today to show you a card I made with some new to me goodies!

For a while I have been intrigued by Spectrum Noir TriBlends.  I recently got my paws on a set and - oh.my.word - I LOVE them!

I have also been wanting to colour these fabulous Pingus for aaaages!



I used them here on grey cardstock and added some detail with Prisamcolor pencils and a white pastel pencil.

- it's impossible to feel bleurggghhh when you look at a penguin is n't it! - and these two  are GORGEOUS!

Thank you to Jennifer Rustioni @armieritagli for always being so inspirational with her beautiful colourwork!

Thank you for popping by today!

Bundle Girl with a Winter Branch for Emily our ForeverBella...

 Friday hugs everyone!

Today's card is a special one.

I have made it with all the love and care I can muster for 
Emily at Stamping Bella who so sadly died tragically young a few weeks ago.

Emily was so full of life and character and her contribution to our crafty world can not be underestimated.

She was the life force behind the incredible Stamping Bella images that we adore and her love and enthusiasm was infectious.

Emily has left a wonderful creative legacy and sistah hood that will endure as a tribute to her, always.

Thanks Em,
and as she would always say... MWAH ...xxx

I tried pastel pencils for the first time and they are FAB!

I absolutely love the texture and effect they make on the dark card.

I stamped the Llama in Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide and coloured him/her with Conte a Paris Pastel Pencils.  I have the the set of 24 which is currently reduced in price at Jackson's Art!
