Simple, Two-Tone Card – Penguin Palace

by with No Comment Penguin PalaceSimon Hurley

Hello friends! Today’s card is my submission for Penguin Palace challenge #26 – summer moodboard!

I love the beachy colours of this challenge and just knew I had to participate! I decided to use the recently released My Favourite Chapter digi stamp featuring this adorable dinosaur to complete my submission!

I coloured my little dinosaur friends using the following Ohuhu alcohol markers to match the colours of the challenge:

  • Blues: B290, PB9, PB11
  • Yellows: Y230, Y270, YR1

To create the soft gradient in the background, I used Simon Hurley’s Remember Me Ink.

I then chose a matching colour of cardstock from Neenah Astrobright to complete the card.

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Rainbow London Scene – Penguin Palace

by with No Comment Craft RouletteHoney Bee StampsPenguin Palace

Hi friends! Today’s card is my submission for Craft Roulette episode #166, which has the following parameters:

I had some trouble deciding what I wanted to make for my submission – I went through several ideas but none of them were quite working. However, when I finally knew what I was going to do, I was excited to get started!

Using the In Love with London digital stamp set from Penguin Palace, I print the bear and bus (along with a sentiment) and coloured them using the following Ohuhu alcohol markers:

Bear: E240, E220, E210, PB4, PB3, PB2, R8, R2, R1, Y2, Y1, Y3, RV270, RV260, 120

Bus: R8, R2, R1, Y3, Y030, CGII08, CGII07, CG2, CGIIOO

I also cut a bunch of pieces of cardstock to be able to make a scene for the bear and the bus.

I used the following Distress Oxides/Inks along with Honey Bee Perfect Bricks stencil to add bricks to both the rainbow buildings and the sidewalks:

  • Candied Apple
  • Spiced Marmalade
  • Mustard Seed
  • Twisted Citron
  • Broken China
  • Wilted Violet
  • Lost Shadow

As for the shimmer, I used Violet Studio Glitter Gel Pens to add shimmery colour coordinated door knobs on every door of the rainbow buildings.

To finish I glued everything down using Bearly Art Glue and attached it to an A2 card base.

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

A Simple Card Using… A Brown Paper Bag?! – Penguin Palace

by with 4 Comments Penguin Palace

Hi friends! While I may not have kraft paper (I’m definitely going to have to get some…), I do have paper bags! So, I decided to make a card with a brown paper bag I came across while cleaning! I used the Penguin Palace Milk, Tea, Or Me Digital Stamp set for this card.

Once I had printed out my chosen image and sentiment, I coloured the cow using the following Ohuhu alcohol markers:

E310. E170, R22, R23, RV270, RV260, R2, R1, Y2, Y1, Y050, WG01, E280

Once coloured, I cut the paper bag to the desired size and attached everything to my card front which was then attached to a mini slimline card base.

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Rainbows and Digi Stamps – Penguin Palace

by with One Comment Penguin Palace

Hi friends! For today’s card, I decided to have some fun with stencils and the “Beautiful Brazil” Digi stamp set from Penguin Palace! This is also my submission for the Penguin Palace Challenge #24 – Stencilling and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge “Things with Wings.”

The stencil I used for this card was a generic one, but it was exactly what I was looking for! I used the following distress oxides and inks to create a rainbow of colour:

  • Candied Apple
  • Spiced Marmalade
  • Mustard Seed
  • Mowed Lawn
  • Salty Ocean
  • Wilted Violet

I then printed and cut this parrot and sentiment from the “Beautiful Brazil” Digi stamp – I thought the parrot would match the rainbow colours perfectly! I used the following Ohuhu alcohol markers to colour:
Bird: RV260, RV270, E280, WG050, R1, R2, PB8, B070, Y1, Y2
Drum: E280, WG050, G190, G170

I attached my card front to an A7 card base and then attached the image and sentiment with foam squares to add some dimension – and with that, the card is finished!

While this is a simple card, I like how it turned out! There is nothing wrong with keeping things simple!

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!
