I used an image called Poppi Penguin - popsicle colored with Promarkers. I mounted the DPs onto panels of yellow and stitched with red thread around the edges. I added buttons as embellishments. Stitched dies, ovals and scallop, are all Dienamics ones. Die wise I think they were my best investment ever - I seem to use them over and over again, and I see that stitched dies are very much popluar out there in blogland too.
This card is also for:
Dies R Us Challenge - #46 Use Scallops
Through the Purple Haze - #99 Layers
Crafting for all Seasons - #123 Use Die cuts/Punches
Lol, this penguin is definitely having a lot of fun. Love the bright cheerful colours.
