Hello everyone: This week, the Merry Monday Challenge Blog theme is Penguins. When I read this, my mind went directly to the retired SU "Zoo Review" stamp set and THE ONLY PENGUIN STAMP I OWN!! Honest, I do not have any other penguins in my entire stamp room but I was mighty happy I had this one because I was able to make this card.
I did a little bit of masking, just on the penguins right wing, to line them up all in a row. This card required just some light sponging on the background and coloring the penguins beaks and feet with SU Pumpkin Pie marker.
Since it's rather simple I decided to add a bit of interest to this images by giving each little penguin a birthday hat and a pretty scarf tied up in a bow, which I punched out with a super old punch from Tonic Studios, I looked around for this punch but couldn't find it, the image it punches is of a candy cane with a bow, so I just cut the bow for my card.
For the hats I just cut little triangles and glued a mini pom pom in coordinating colors.

For the "snow" I added a bit of glue and sprinkle some chunky glitter, stamped the sentiment with the SU retired "Curly Cute" stamp set and died cut it with Spellbinder's banner dies.
Well, that's it, I hope you like this card, I would love it if you let me know. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Have a fabulous week.
Hugs from Maria.

Thanks Sonny, this card broke a record with me as the fastest one I've ever made, it took me just about an hour from start to finish and it was a riot. I love this image and lining up this cuties all dressed up, really made me smile.
Thank you for visiting.
Maria - I love the way you always make your cards extra special - like this time with the pom poms and hats! How cute is that. Thanks for sharing your talent with me and always inspiring me to come up with original ideas.
Thank you Charlene, I was able to remember where I put the little bag of pom poms, I was very happy to find it.
I have to agree with Sonny this line up of Penquins looke like Rocketts! Perfect for a Winter Birthday keep that one in your stash!!
Oh Maria - this is just such a fabulous card! I adore the penguin line up and IMHO it's a winner for sure. Clever work!
If you used snippets (scraps), do think about coming over to play in our Snippets Playground (new week each Sunday and you could back link this as I do allow a teensy bit of leeway) - we'd welcome you with open arms - and the girls are so friendly too.

Thank you for visiting Susan, I figured this little cuties needed some pop of color, the scarf and pom pom really did the trick.

Thank you Susangail, when I was done stamping this little guys, I felt they needed something to make them pop a bit more so the ''scarfs" and hats were just perfect.
