Notes: 

• If, like me, you like penguins, the Penguin Family and Besties Bundled Clear Stamp Sets by Hobby Art Ltd. is a great deal -- you get two super-cute penguin sets (good year round) for the price of one!
• Lately, I've been cleaning ink applicators (sponge daubers, foam, brushes) by sponging or brushing the excess ink onto scraps of plain white cardstock, which has resulted in some cool backgrounds.

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of 8.5" x 11" Avalanche cardstock in half, score at 4.25", and fold to form an A2 card. Set aside.

4. Place Post-It Notes under the trees to protect the bottom portion of the image panel.
5. Brush Della Blue Elements Ink, then London Fog Memento Ink over the top part of the penguins and trees to create a stormy winter sky. 
6. Tap a white Posca Paint Pen to splatter white paint onto the background to look like snow. Let dry.
7. Remove the mask and Post-It Notes.
8. Color the penguins, trees, and the snowy foreground with Copic markers. 
9. When done, use same white paint pen add more white paint dots to add more snow to the scene. 
10. Go over some of the snow dots with the Gelly Roll Bold Line Stardust Clear Glittering Ink pen to add some sparkle to the snow fall.
11. Use the A2 Polaroid die to cut a piece of blue/green plaid paper from the Gingham Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad.
12. Adhere the die-cut over the penguin scene so that the window is framing the scene.
13. Adhere the penguin scene polaroid combo onto the reserved white A2 card.
14. The sentiment from the Penguin Besties Clear Stamp Set was stamped with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko onto one of the inked backgrounds mentioned above. 
15. A fancy label die was used to cut the sentiment was die-cut.
16. The sentiment die-cut was adhered to the card as shown.
