Falling for the Holidays 2021 {BYSHC} Hop ~ Cuddly Winter Penguins with Forest Builder Scene

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back for Day 3 of the Falling for the Holidays 2021 {BYSHC} Hop!! Today, I'm sharing a card that I actually started for the Christmas in July hop but I didn't quite get it done in time. I used an adorable digi stamp from KaDoodle Bug Designs called Cuddly Winter Penguins and paired it up with some cute dies from hop Sponsor Newton's Nook Designs called Forest Scene Builder dies.

I started by layering my papers from the Winter Market paper pad by Carta Bella Paper Co. It's not the easiest to see but the bottom layer has four different papers from the paper pad. The trees on top and a solid green on bottom. There's also a striped paper in the middle and all three of those papers are on a dark blue paper. The focal piece was built with the same dark blue paper for the base. The snowflake paper makes for a soft background for the penguins. I die cut a stitched hill from white card stock for my snow. I die cut trees from Garden Green and Wild Wasabi card stock. And then the critters were also die cut from Real Red, True Black and Chocolate Chip card stock. I adhered all the die cuts to create my scene and then popped up the penguins on top of the scene.

I colored up the cute penguins with the following Copic markers:

Penguins ~ N1, N3, N5, N7, C00, C2, YR15, YR21, YR68, R000, R20

Hats ~ R000, R14, R27, C00, C2

Scarves ~ C00, C2, B00, B02, G000, G07, G14

Ground ~ N1, N3

I popped up the focal piece and sentiment with foam tape and added a couple enamel dots to finish it off. I just love this sweet scene card!
