Sparkly Thank You Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #274

Our glasses wearing nephew shoveled our driveway and steps last week so I made him a cool card to thank him using Sunday Stamps Sketch #274.  The background paper is Recollections Holographic paper with Simon Says Stamp Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder.  The adorable penguin is from Close to My Heart Winter Penguins.  Stitched Rectangle Frames cut from shimmery Black Ore and White Daisy were used to frame the delightful image.

Here is the fabulous Sunday Stamps Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Winter Penguin as the Star of CAS Colours and Sketch #401

Penguins are a lot of fun to watch and I recently acquired a new stamp set from Close to my Heart called "Winter Penguins".  The CAS Colours and Sketch challenge calls for a non-geometric focal point so I decided to use one of these penguin cuties for my card.
