My Pink Stamper feathered friend challenge...

This is what I came up with for Robyns challenge...
I did question myself on whether or not these cute creatures had feathers...plus I noticed that nobody had done one of these feathered friends yet...
Yes, penguins do have feathers. They are shiny and uniformly overlap to form a dense layer of protection. A Penguin's feathers are highly specialized, They are short, broad, and spaced very closely. These attributes help to keep water away from their skin. Penguin feathers also have small tufts of down on the shafts that increase the insulative properties of the feathers.
  • card is 6 1/2 x 5
  • cut black card stock at 1/4" less
  • the white card stock is opalescent but it is hard to see...it was cut to fit the Cuttlebug folder...
  • the penguin was cut at 3"
  • I added a bow with some scrap ribbon that I had
  • the "just chillin" was cute at about 1 1/2" (I think) and I adhered it to a piece of something that I cut out a while ago that was in my scrap pile
  • the blue sparkle ribbon was purchased at Michaels during Valentine's Day
I sure hope y'all like this one...I had fun making it
