Imagine That Digi Stamps Progressive Challenge

Hi all.  I am back to work with the Imagine That Digi Stamp Progressive Challenge.  The name of the  set is called Poolside Penguins.  It is so adorable.  I'm glad that I didn't miss this one, while I was on hiatus.  I colored the image with Copic markers and paper pieced the swim trunks with washi tape.  That was a first for me!  I did some embossing for the water and cloud background.  The water background was actually cut up from a folder that had fish in it.  I didn't like the look, so...I cut them out and pieced it back together, without the fish...

Now it's your turn to use this free image, if you played in May.  If you didn't, you can purchase the entire set for $3.00 in the store.  Then, if you use anyone of the images in this month's challenge, you will be eligible to receive the challenge digi for next month, for free!

Don't forget to leave me a comment.  I need some lov'in right now!  I have had a difficult couple of months!  Also, be sure to check out what some of the other design team members are doing.

Till next time...

Imagine That Free Digi Stamp and Challenge

Hi all.  Today I have a just released digi stamp from Imagine That Digi Stamps.  It is for their monthly progressive challenge.  His name is Penguin Cocoa and he is FREE!  Normally, you must have played in the previous challenge in order to get a free image, but this month, you didn't have to play last month!  You will get this adorable penguin digi stamp absolutely free and then you will be eligible to play each month and get the new challenge image each time, without having to pay anything!  Gotta love that!  Of course Kris has so many wonderful images, you might want to look around and see if there is anything else you might want.  The prices are excellent and you can get whole sets.  Anyway, back to my card.  I printed and colored the image with Spectrum Noir and Copic markers.  I used snow glitter to the pom pom on top of his hat and on the ends of the braided part of the hat.  To make the foam in his cup, I mixed my own embossing powder.  I used white, a touch of a  glittery, coppery brown and some extra thick embossing powder.  I kept heating and adding more powder and heated some more.  I did this about 4-5 times to get the effect that I wanted.  I printed some of the Christmas digi, designer paper from the IT store and used a snowflake border punch for the bottom.  The extra snowflakes that popped out, I glued to the designer paper.

This is what the entire set includes.

Hope you like my card!  Please leave me a message and let me know what you think.

I LOVE seeing comments!!
