I used the Whimsical Winter Critters again, just like in THIS video, because it’s so adorable. Die cutting and putting together these pieces was easy, and I just used various scraps I had laying around. I didn’t do any additional shading or coloring on any of the pieces.

My background is from THIS video, and I am really glad I got to use it. It went so well with the colors I chose for the penguin, and that wasn’t planned at all. It’s a Gel Press print that used alcohol inks and the Stained Glass Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. To see how I made it, please check out the video. I inked the edges of the Gel Press print with Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks. My sentiment is coincidentally from Hero Arts’ Cozy Penguin stamp set. I stamped it with Purple Delight VersaFine Clair Ink.
