Here's a cool little number also featuring Winter Penguin. I started the card by stamping the open circle background strip in a color combo of Smoky Shadow, Spring Moss & Aqua Mist. I carefully staggered and stacked each layer on top of one another to create a unique border. What do you think?
Here's a closer look. I then layered the penguin over the border, attached a True Black cardstock strip to the right edge and stamped the sentiment.
This next card uses the same background strip stamped in a color combo of Berry Sorbet and Dried Marigold Rangers Distress Ink. Stamped one vertically and two horizontally, being careful to line up the intersecting areas.
Finished this single layer card with a sentiment, pen and ink spots (stamped in True Black) from the Happy Trail stamp set.Well, that's it from me today. I hope you've enjoyed another look into my new goodies for the month of November. Remember Background Basics: Circles will be available for purchase starting November 15th, at Papertrey Ink. I'd love to know what you think so far!!!
