“If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”The FireCracker Design Team was issued a challenge. Each of the DT members were to make a card using the same stamp set Be Naughty.  The catch was we each had to make a card for a different occasion using this set.
When I saw the occasion I was given, I thought this would really be tough. The set is some really cute penguins and I had to make a card for a birthday boy. After some serious pondering, this is the card I created.
Now the fun part; if you follow the links and do the blog hop, you can win some wonderful blog candy! Not only stamps, but all the cards created for this challenge! Doesn’t that make you want get hopping? To continue on your blog journey, please follow the link to MARIE’s blog.
Happy Hopping and good luck!
The penguin was stamped twice on white c/s, colored w/ markers and cut out. The snowball, ear muffs and scarf only were cut out of the second image and attached on the first image w/ foam tape. He’s attached to w white piece of c/s which was run thru the Cuttlebug w/ the snowflakes folder. The edges were colored w/ a marker and the bottom edge was punched w/ the border punch then color was sponged on using the coral red and mandarin inks.
The funky squares were die cut w/ both red and black c/s then mixed together. The greeting was also die cut. The red c/s was a little too red, so I sponged over it w/ the mandarin ink. The black scallop oval was cut w/ a Nestabilities die then cut in half. The red/orange stars were punched w/ the same snowflake border punch and attached along the oval edge. The three snowflakes were die cut ant attached on top of the squares. Stickles glitter glue was added to the snowballs and snowflakes. The clear Stardust glitter pen was used to highlight the scarf and ear muffs.
