The first is Christmas Craft Creations August Challenge - Winter Activities.
... and Peace on Earth Challenge #22. I love the mood board and focussed on the penguin in the top right image. :)
I started with a background from my stash of Brushos smooshed onto mixed media paper. I cut my panel to size and then added two strips of torn white card stock for my snowhills. I used my new Penguin Pals stamps and dies (Sunny Studio) to stamp and watercolour my penguin, floating ice and North Pole sign. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.
For finishing touches, I used my white pen to add "waves" in the water and also stripes on the penguins scarf and toque. Clear Wink of Stella adds sparkle to the floating ice, penguin hat (cuff and pompom).

This is the first time using this stamp and die set, so I'm sending my card over to NBUS Challenge #41.

I love the second photo, where you can see all the details perfectly. You created the snowdrifts so amazingly by tearing the white cardboard. Great effect!
