Winter Wishes Cards

Hello everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you two CAS (clean and simple), Winter Wishes Cards.

For my card I used adorable Your Next Stamp 'Christmas Critters' stamp set.

First I stamped a sentiment and penguins directly on top folded card bases. I went with a same layout as on cards you can find here and here. I like this layout a lot. :o)

It made me smile when I saw that my cards fit CAS(E) this Sketch #201. :o)

Images are paper pieced. I stamped penguins on a watercolor paper and watercolored them with Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut them out, colored their edges with black marker and softened them with stylus ball. I colored penguins stamped on card bases with black marker and glued colored penguins over it and my cards were finished. :o)

Here are more photos.

Dimensions of both cards: 94 mm x 126 mm (3 3/4" x 5")
