A Passion for Markers Blogspot Challenge #680 - Animals

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all !

I'm back today with a new DT Inspiration card for a Passion for Markers Blog challenge.


This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Sheepski Designs. There are some lovely images over in the store, you'll be spoilt for choice, so why not take a look and join in the challenge.  Don't forget there will be a prize for the Winner of the challenge - there are more details over on the blog.


The Blog theme chosen by Kitty for Team 2 is Animals and this is my inspiration for the challenge made using a digital image from Sheepski Designs called The Huddle



There is something wonderful about penguins - I love watching them on nature programs and this image definitely reminds me of a recent David Attenborough series I've been watching, Planet Earth II, where the baby penguins huddled together to keep warm whilst their parents were away fishing.

I've created a magical Southern Lights in the sky for my little Huddle and found a perfect sentiment for my wintery card.

To create my sky I've blended distress oxide inks, splattered with water and then a little white acrylic paint, keeping it really simple.

The digital image is coloured with my Promarkers (see below for colours) and then I've fussy cut out and mounted at the bottom of the card with low profile foam tape, adding a little glitter in the snow to embellish my design.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog


Hasta luego ๐Ÿ‘‹ 


Enjoy the rest of your day !
