Hello Penguin ~ CCMC358 & CASEing the Catty


Hello!  It's Thursday and that mean another great Create With Connie and Mary Challenge!  This week we've got an outstanding color combo for you.....

I was browsing around Pinterest to find something to give me inspiration and I came across my very favorite animal in the world....the penguin.  Aha!!!!  This was a match made in heaven for me!  I combined a little watercolor and markers with blender pen to create this little guy from {Zoo Review}.  I even used a little Lost Lagoon on his flippers.  
I realized after I had created my card that I used Crushed Curry instead of Hello Honey....but it's close!
Another part of the inspiration came from CASEing the Catty.  This week is casing anything from the brand new catalog.  
I chose to case the {Wetlands} goose card on page 117 .
I liked the catawampus, bold black striped background paper.  


I added a banner cluster in the top corner of the card and a little hello from the new hostess set {Silhouettes & Script}.

Be sure and check out all the other fab designers from the CCMC team!

Thanks for taking a peek!
Jenny

  1. Eeek! Your penguin is beautiful...and I've just realised you have a penguin in your watermark so it is the perfect stamp for you and you've created the perfect card! :)
    I love the banner/twine/sequin flair in the corner too. :)
