Wish upon a star in your winter woollies.

This little dude looks so cool in his matching winter hat and sweater carrying his silver cane. The hat and sweater are separate stamps made for the little Penguin.  I decided his sweater should have some cable knitting so I added some light detail using Prismacolour Pencils. The wooden cane has been coloured using Molotow Liquid Chrome pen. The pen is new to me so time to play, so far I love it's sparkle and shine and the ease of colouring. I have the 1 and 2mm sizes.
The background is stenciled using a Tim Holtz stencil and my clarity brushes.



To add to the sparkle I painted his clothing with a Nuvo sparkle pen.

Such an adorable penguin in his winter woollies! Great way to do the metal challenge with your new pen. And I love the cable knitting detail on the sweater.

Sure is a fun card and such a cute penguin. The background stencilling looks so pretty and your colouring of the adorable penguin's hat,scarf and jumper is fabulous. Love the faux metal with the liquid chrome pen. I have one of these and really love the liquid looking chrome it gives and I find it great for edging instead of a matting layer.
Your card is fabulous and brought a huge smile to my face.....Thank you x.

How cute is this? That image is just adorable and love the fun colors you chose for him. The background stenciling is perfect too. Not sure what the chrome pen is but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to have it!
