Adding Dimension to Die Cuts with Markers: Peppy Penguin Slimline Card

Hello friends. Once again, I cannot resist using this cute penguin die set from Lawn Fawn. I knew I had to have this little penguin when the release came out! He is very versatile and can be used for many occasions. On this card, I have three penguins precariously perched on top of each other. So very cute!!!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create a slimline card base. I die cut another piece with the Lawn Fawn Large Slimline with Sliders. I used the largest die which measures 3-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and gives it a stitched edge. I also cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Stripes ‘n Sprinkles 6×6 Inch Petite Pack to 1-1/2 x 3-1/2″ then used the slimline die to add the stitched lines on the border.

For the background, I used Tim Holtz Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend. Then sprayed some water on it and added splatters with some pearlescent white acrylic paint.

I die cut all the penguins and the lights from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Peppy Penguin and String of Lights Backdrop and colored them with Copic markers. I used 100, N2, N5 & N7, N0 & 0 and YR04 for the penguin; YG01 & YG25, YG25 & YG67, R30 & R32, and R14 & R29 for the lights. I stamped the hats from Frosty Family Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used Copic Markers to color them. I used R14 & R27, YG17 & YG67, C1 & 0.

I finished off the card by adding some highlights to the hats with a white gel pen and sparkly to the lightbulbs with my Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of pattern paper from Lawn Fawn Stripes ‘n Sprinkles 6×6″ Petite Pack cut to 1 x 3-1/2″ and added another penguin. I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Here We Go A-Waddling Stamps with Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade Ink.
