Penguin Hugs

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend!! I wanted to introduce you to this little guy -- he's one of the images from the new C.C. Designs Little Bit Kit called Little Penguins. there are two sentiments and four penguins in the set -- the others are just as cute as this one! :) Mini images and "inchies" are all the rage right now, and this set is perfect!

I used my Cuttlebug and Stitched Circles embossing folder to create the embossed "frame" around the penguin. The sentiment and penguin are stamped in Basic Black ink. I colored in and around the penguin with Prismacolor Pencils then blended it with Turpenoid. The snow line was hand-drawn, then I added some Baby Blue Stickles. I rounded opposite corners with a corner rounder, and I sponged on and around the panel and sentiment. I machine stitched a freehand border with white thread. The final embellishments are a Heidi Swapp Snowflake Ghost Shape and White Lightning Glitter Dots (have I told you how much I *love* 'em?).

I hope you enjoyed meeting this Little Penguin -- I'll introduce his friends later this week! Have a great day -- thanks for visiting! :)
