Multi Challenge Penguin Card w/ My Friend Wendy's CDS Illustration!



Hello All!
I was in the mood for a few challenges this morning and I just received "Clear Dollar Stamp's" adorable "Just Chillin" set illustrated by my friend Wendy Hall, so I used it for the challenges.
It is a simple little "Thank You" card made in "easel fold style". I had not seen one until I hit "Secret Crafter Saturday's Challenge" blog this morning. It is too cool!
The glittered Cardstocks are from "Doodlebug Designs" and the blue CS is Bazzill Dots. I altered the sentiment to fit a couple of other challenges. The set has some really cute ones but I needed a "Thank You" card so I stamped the "Brrry" and the rest I did on my computer.




Here are the challenges I entered this one in...
Mojo Monday Challenge - Sketch
Used it! ;)
Secret Crafter Saturday - Easel Cards
My first and it was fun!
Colour Create Challenge - Blue, Silver and White
check, check and check! ;)
Simon Says Stamps Challenge - Simon Says - "Give Thanks"
Thank you card. :)
This would have fit perfectly into SSSC "Sparkle" challenge last week too!
Pile It On - "Thank You" + other challenges
Yeppers....Thank You card and a few other challenges!
All Sorts Challenge - "Bring Out Your Bling"
I used gems, glitters, sparkly ribbon, and glittered cardstock
My Time to Craft Challenge - "So Many Scallops"
In my card it could be "SEW many scallops"!
I stitched a scalloped frame around the card and also added some punched scallops around the sentiment . I also used some scalloped ribbon.
Creative Card Crew - Ribbons and Gems
Used 'em both!
Die Cuts R Us - "Nest Something"
I used 2 sizes of Spellbinder's square Nestabilities on the main image and the frame for it. I also nested the scallops behind the sentiment.

Please take a second and leave me a comment so I will know you dropped by. :)
Oh...I almost forgot...if you love sparkle and shine too, CLICK HERE to go to my blog candy post for your chance to win a huge set of Martha Stewart glitters. AFTER you leave a comment on my card...hint hint and wink! ;)
Good luck my friends!
Hugs,
True :)
