Icy penguins

Good morning, brrrr it's cold here! Snow last night but nearly all gone now, thank goodness! I know it looks beautiful when everything is covered with a fresh white blanket of it but I am not a fan of slipping and sliding about when it turns to ice or dirty slush- which it soon does here in a busy town.

I was lucky enough to win a lovely prize from Allsorts Challenge last month and have been playing with these fabulous Aall & Create penguin stamps, just one of the sets I won :)

I made a gift tag holder  with a matching pocket and envelope. First I cut a wedge shaped tag from white cardstock then I played around with a sheet of copy paper until I worked out how to fold the shape for the pocket, made a template and cut from the same white cardstock. I stamped and masked the penguins using Twilight Versafine, blended some blue and grey distress inks over the background and randomly stamped the words and white embossed snowflakes, added the eyelets and fibres to the tag and tabs. I finished the set by adding white faux stitching with a gel pen. 

I kept the template so I can make some more of these sets, I will be very glad of them next Christmas!
