Photo Inspiration Challenge!

Hey ladies Summer from Cricut Diaries Here! This week for SSD design team we were challenged to make something with this photo inspiration.



So, this is what I made! Make sure to check out what everyone else made.

Recipe:
Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge
Card stock (various colors)
2 sheets Glitter paper by My Minds Eye (8X8)
Distress Ink Walnut Stain
Mega Mixed Messages stamp set by Paper Trey Ink
Ribbon (mine was from the 1$ bin at Target)
Tim Holtz paper distresser
Souffle Pens

This cute little guy was one of the reasons I wanted the Simply Charmed cart in the first place. I did make him brown so it would go with my color story a bit better, but there must be brown penguines somewhere right?? He was cut at 3.5

For my designer card stock, I went around all the edges with the Tim Holtz paper distrsser. I really like using this tool but I do find that it works best on thicker paper.

These I got in the mail this week! I got a very good deal on E-Bay and these babies ROCK! At first I did not like the way these pens worked, but give it 30 seconds to dry and you really get a nice pop of color. I went around the edge of by card for a stitched look.

I just added a ribbon and I was done, super easy! Thanks for looking!
