Surfin' Penguin Card

With temperatures rising over 100 here locally, this cute card reflects calm and cooling waves.
The monochromatic card base is made using tempting turqouise, taken with teal and not quite navy cardstock. The teal and nq navy have been torn at an angle to give the resemblance of waves. Before adhering take white ink & using a sponge, dab across the rough edges in a sweeping motion- this will give the white crest effects to your waves. The beautiful cloudy sky has been created by again using the white ink and sponging softly in circular motions - giving some areas more ink application than others. This will result in soft cloud like formations. On white cardstock stamp the penguin from Wild about You in black ink and cut out using paper snips. To create the surfboard merely punch an oval using the small oval punch. You can leave it plan or stamp a cool design with any stamp of your choice. It is nice to have the surfboard be a warm complimentary color to all the cool blues in the card. This bit of color technique helps draw attention to the penguin and makes the card 'POP'. Next adhere the penguin to the surfboard and layer and adhese it under the edge of the front wave. For the final touch stamp your staying in black ink in the 'sky'. Hope this cute card helps cool you off!
