DTC Challenge #208 3-2-1 Recipe "Waddle We Do Next"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #208 3-2-1 Recipe "Waddle We Do Next". When I saw Twisted Sister's optional twist to include a penguin, there was no question in my mind, a penguin card it would be. May be a little out of the box, but my inspiration was from our sister's challenge TSOT's sketch.


 

While looking for my CTMH penguin stamp set I came across this cute summer stamp set from Rubbernecker (aka as Brass & Bliss) which my daughter had gifted me some time ago and never used.

This stamp set needed a beach scene so I pulled out a retired stamp set from CTMH "Writing in the Sand" and stamped sea and sand on a piece of vanilla cardstock. The sea was first stamped with Peacock, moved cardstock up slightly and stamped with Sea Glass and then used Sea Glass and lightly sponged all of the sea portion. The sand portion it was stamped with Chocolate ink and then lightly sponged with the same color. Used an oval die to cut the sea/sand and adhered to a blue panel, and then to card base.  

Stamped all the images using Momento black ink, cut with my Brother ScanNCcut, colored with Copic Sketch pens, and adhered using glue and 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble, have fun with our 3-2-1 Recipe "Waddle We Do Next" and play along with our optional twist and dare while earning additional chances to our random draw.
