Penguin Christmas Tag

This was one of those projects where it should have been quick and easy, but everything I tried to do on it seemed to just not work out. I think I managed to salvage it for the most part, lol, and after spending so much time figured I had better post it.

(Just pretend you don't notice any mistakes, lol) The patterned paper is from SEI. I cut the tag from Plantin Schoolbook (I think- I had it leftover from a previous project) and the penguin and snowflakes are from Christmas Cheer. One thing I did try on this one that I really liked was my new 'snow maker' paint pen.  SO much fun! But you have to be careful, the paint can come out pretty fast at times, and then you have an overabundance of snow. ;) Here is a close-up of my penguin's snowy hat:

I added it to my sentiment, from Robin's Creative Cottage Snowman's Prayer collection. All you have to do is add some heat and it puffs right up and gives that really fun 'snow-y' texture. Definitely going to be using this some more!

Hope you enjoyed my project, I am also entering it in the following challenges:

  14. @Mary- the pen is called 'Snow Marker' and it is made by Marvy. I got it at a local craft store, but it was in the wood craft section (??)- I had to ask for it. I hope that helps! (And that you get this info- I didn't know how else to reach you!)
