Christmas penguins

Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday and our theme this time is...

ANYTHING GOES

Well, that's made it easy for you hasn't it?!
We are sponsored by Bugaboo and they kindly let us use some images, so I thought I'd crack on with Christmas card number 2!
This was going to be a CAS design but as you can see, I went a bit off piste!
I have stamped the corners of the base layer of DP with a swirly design and added some sparkle to the flowers and the image with Glamour Dust.

I fell in love with this cute penguin trio as soon as I saw them and before anyone wonders why the feet aren't orange... have you seen penguin feet?!  In pictures they are almost always orange but in real life they are almost always black... so I went with black!

Challenges I am playing along with;

1.  Sweet Stampin' (Christmas in August)
2.  A Gem of a Challenge (stitching)
3.  As You Like It (fave 2 embellies - flowers because they look so pretty and there are so many lovely types, and twine because I like the slightly rustic feel to it and it looks great on it's own, tied round ribbon or for tying on tags)
4.  Winter Wonderland (anything goes for Christmas)
