The January challenge at Christmas Kickstart is Dreaming of a PINK Christmas.
Today 26th January is a holiday - to celebrate Auckland Anniversary Day - so the last day of 4 days off for me. It's been very un-summery weather all of the last week or so and today was no exception. Spend a little time in the craft room and made this card for the challenge
I started with some ombre paper - from Uniti. Picked out the pinkest part of the paper and embossed it with a snowflake folder (from a magazine from a few years back) Ran some white pigment ink over top of the raised areas. I used a Gina K stamp set called Playful Penguins to stamp and die cut the pair of penguins. I stamped and fussy cut the sentiment. I used some cheapo watercolour paint pens to add colour to my sweet pair. Added some glossy accents to the beaks and boots and some kindyglitz sparkle glue to the ear muffs, pompom and the centre of the snowflakes.
First Christmas card for 2026!

Awww - sweet penguin pair, Dawn! Love the embossed snowflakes too!!
Such a lovely card, Dawn. I love the penguins and that background is beautiful. I'm always so amazed that your Summer is our Winter - I don't know why, but it always makes me go 'wow'. Thanks for joining Chris and me at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
Super subtle blending - great background. CarolG
