Woodland Tree Trimming

Inspiration: Try Stampin’ on Tuesday #569 + Simon Says Stamp Wednesday (Christmas)

My Comfort and Joy paper pack from My Mind's Eye (2016) is down to a few scraps, so I tried to see if I could finish it all up. I pulled the Christmas Critters stamp set from Avery Elle and stamped and colored the penguins trimming the tree. I used Gansai Tambi watercolor to colour the star in gold and I added white shimmer to their hats.

I had a leftover tag on the sticker sheet, so I used the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Santa's Delivery stamp set on it. I had my little white glimmer paper snowflakes on vellum from yesterday's crafting session, that I sprinkled around the card, and I also included one of the tree rings as a layer on the card to keep with the woodland feel of the papers.

I love how you made the ribbon work in the place of the fancy edge on the sketch. Such a festive holiday card--a lot of fun details, and I am a huge sucker for penguins! Thank you for joining us for this challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday and look forward to seeing you again soon!
