Party Penguin!

The other day I stopped over at my friend Lana's blog and she had made this adorable card using a penguin image I had sent her. I had totally forgotten that I even had that stamp! (please tell me you've done that... forgotten that you have a stamp! lol). Anyway, I dug it out and decided he looked like he was up for a celebration!

And what better day is there to celebrate than the 4th of July? A little picnic... a little cold beverage... some fireworks and you've got yourself a party! My friend Mishie has a huge 4th of July party every year! It's her favorite summer time event!

Speaking of Mish, she's celebrating her one year blog anniversary this month and is giving away lots of prizes. Today she's hosting a fun scavenger hunt!
If you want to play along and be entered for the prize drawings, check out her blog HERE.

There are 13 questions that you have to answer correctly and Mish has selected 13 of her blogging friends, including me, to each post one of the answers to her questions.
So if you're playing along, you've come to the right place.
You'll find the answer to question #11 above.


So anyway... I got carried away on all the party talk. The layout for this party card is inspired by the awesome Beate. Her card just knocked me out it is so cute! The measurements are 4.5 x 4.5 square, with a 2 inch strip trimmed off the front.


Once I colored in the party pengquin, I added a bit of shimmer to his *cocktail* with a GellyRoll Stardust pen and then finished up by highlighting around the entire image with a B000 Copic marker. Gives him a bit of a chilly feel don't you think?


Thanks for stopping by! Best of luck if you are on the *Mishie Scavenger Hunt*!
