For my design team card, I created a little Holiday Spirit using this adorable Mo Manning image called Penguin With Gift. I have colored this image before but it makes me happy every time at look at him! LOL.




Copic Markers Used:
 C0, C1, C3, C5, C7,
G40, G42, YG63
R20, R22, R24, R29, and  
C5 sandwich between 2 layers of R29 for the darkest shadow area.


I applied hand quilled roses to complete my card.  

Aww Moment For The Day


I spent some time at the aquarium in Chicago and I snapped some cute pics of the penguins they had. It was hard to pry me away from them..... I think I may have been a little fixated!



I am linking this card with the following challenges:

Make It Monday - Anything goes
Inspire Me Fridays - Anything goes


I hope you have a great weekend!  Take some time and check out our challenge on the Outlawz : Twisted Thursdays!  Hope to see your creation there!   
 Take care, my friends! :D
