I have made a clean and simple Christmas card with the adorable Tim Holtz Walter the Penguin die set!
Just a note: I edited my card early the next morning. Did you ever have a card that you "like", but the more you think about it, maybe even a day later, you just think you should have done it just a little differently?? Well, even if you haven't, that is what happened with me and this card. I just started feeling that all the white was just a bit too much, and needed to be broken up with some color...just a tiny bit of color. And honestly, snow, unless a white out, doesn't look ALL white, so I felt a tiny bit of color in the background was what was needed. I think it looks perfect, now....happiness!! Amazing what just a tiny bit of color can do! To do it, I used Simon Fog gray ink and a brayer on the flat side of the embossing folder, and ran it through my Bigshot with a piece of cardstock in it. I kept up the first card, so you could see the slight difference...
I made my Walter with a Christmas hat and scarf, but the die set comes with a bow tie and glasses, too, so you can make your Walter have all different looks!! I die cut and adhered all the pieces, the added the Simon Says Stamp sentiment, along with one of their embossing folders for snow! I tore a piece of cardstock to make a snow mound and have a place for the penguin to stand on. Here's a close up of both...
There is an offer going on right now, over at Simon Says Stamp, for this adorable penguin die set...
It's for a limited time only...just saying😊! Countdown to Christmas...tomorrow is December 1st!! Keep breathing....just keep breathing....deep! Hang in!!
Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
Hi Lisa. The card with the bit of gray is much more pleasing to the eye for sure. Love it! Thanks for the inspiration. Kirsten
