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 #27.

Now, onto Penguin Palace Challenge #28! This month we have a fun sketch that you can interpret many different ways. Don’t forget to link your projects featuring Penguin Palace stamps below for your chance to win a $25 gift card!

I always need birthday cards, especially more “masculine” ones, and I thought this design would work great with the Birthday Wishes stamp set. I started by repeatedly stamping the banner using blue dye ink on some lighter blue cardstock to create a tone-on-tone look. Then I cut the piece down to align with the proportions of the sketch. I also used my guillotine trimmer to cut a thin strip of glitter paper.

Next, I diecut two circles from white cardstock. On the smaller one, I stamped and Copic colored the little boy image from the Birthday Wishes stamp set. On the larger circle, I ink blended the edges with the same dye ink I used to stamp the banners. I adhered the two diecut circles together, and adhered all my pieces to the card. To finish it off, I stamped one of the sentiments and diecut it out with the coordinating dies, and added a few star sequins.

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 sketch to create a project that features at least one Penguin Palace product as the focal point. Full challenge rules can be found here.
