March of the Penguins

I've made this card using two very, very old unmounted stamps - probably about 25 years old - that I got in a grab bag I bought from one of the small ads in Crafts Beautiful back in the days when, unless you were a cross stitcher, it was the only craft magazine available in the UK. How things have changed!


I fussy cut the large image and used 3D glue to stick it to the embossed panel, then stamped the line of penguins repeatedly to form a border to march right across the card.

I am sharing this with
Alphabet Challenge - P is for Penguins
Sparkles Monthly Challenge - use 2 of orange, green, black, purple
CAS  mix up - Embossing folder (plus stamping and fussy cutting)
