There's Magic in the Air

Nina came up with the cutest digi this week over at: http://theresmagicintheair.blogspot.com/ You can just imagine him flying by on the ice. Kim's challenge this week was to use something reflective. So after looking at everyone's card - I loved Nina's with the foil, and planned to scrap lift it. Plus I happen to have foil, so my husband was happy I did not go buy something. I colored the penguin with Prismacolors. I used flower soft on the brim and ball of the hat. The foil was cut out with a scalloped oval Nestie, and embossed with a Cuttlebug Divine Swirls Embossing Folder. This card is extra special because Maddox helped make it. He woke up at 5 AM this morning (does not bode well for our full day, but...) he wanted to craft and he sponged ink all over the background and he did a wonderful job of setting the scene for a cold, blustery, wintery ice skating experience.

  1. Oh my gosh, I love what you did with your foil!!! Don't ever run out and buy something - there is always potential in your kitchen or your hubbies workbench if you don't have it in your own stash! Great card, love it!!!
