Since penguins are birds who live in the southern hemisphere, does that mean they head north when winter closes in? I guess, since they can't fly, they have to just stay put and weather the icy storms. This one was smart enough to wrap up in his scarf and top hat. :-D
The stamp is from Sparkle n Sprinkle, and I used Black Detail Embossing Powder (also from SnS), heat embossed to get the glossy black on the penguin. I used my ProMarkers to color the hat and scarf, and his cold little feet. :-D I added loose glitter to the snow and also to the spaces on the die cut (Spellbinders).
I matted the die cut image with red CS, then layered it onto blue CS and die cut the corners. The red ribbon is from my Christmas stash, probably from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The sentiment tag is also a die cut from Spellbinders. I used silvery snowflakes which were in my stash and added the little white bow with the pearl for a bit of texture. Finally, I added all the layers to a white card front.
With the exception of the blue CS, everything on here was taken from deep hiding places in my stash. :-D

I haven't done heat embossing for a couple of months and I had forgotten how much I enjoy both it and the results. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
