Hello and welcome back crafty friends!
We LOVED seeing your sketch-inspired projects over the past month and want to thank you so much for participating in Challenge #25.
Now, onto Penguin Palace Challenge #26! I’m so excited to be sharing inspiration using this month’s summery colour palette! Don’t forget to link your projects featuring Penguin Palace stamps below for your chance to win a $25 gift card!

I wanted to make a fun, summery card so I couldn’t help but use the new Enjoy Your Summer digital stamp! After printing the image onto some cardstock, I Copic colored and fussy-cut it out. I also printed the “Floating by to say Hi!” sentiment onto some white cardstock and cut it down to 3.75″ x 5″ with the sentiment centered along the bottom. I ink-blended the panel with some sand-colored dye ink and added speckling with Copics in various shades of brown and beige.

Next, I blended a piece of 3.75″ x 5″ cardstock with Distress Oxide inks in colors inspired by this month’s palette (Blueprint Sketch, Uncharted Mariner, Peacock Feathers, Speckled Egg). I used one of the dies from the Desert Landscape Scene Builder dies and stencil set to create the “edge” of my ocean. I adhered the ocean panel down to my sand panel, and glued that onto an A2 card base. Finally, I adhered my stamped image to the center and added a few clear embellishments to finish off the card.

We love seeing your creations and would love for you to join us in this month’s challenge! All you have to do to enter is use the challenge color palette to create a project that features at least one Penguin Palace product as the focal point. Full challenge rules can be found here.
This month’s challenge runs until June 29th at 11:59 PDT. We’ll select a winner to receive a $25 CAD gift certificate to ppstamps.com from challenge #25 and #26 which will be announced on July 1st at the beginning of challenge #27!
