Little Penguin Christmas tags (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How sweet are these little penguins from DigiStamp Boutique, I just love them! They were so quick to colour which is always handy when making a few cards/tags. I inked the sky with distress oxide ink, die cut them with my postage stamp die then added some snow mounds and heat embossed the white card so it had a shimmery effect. Then I added some Nuvo drops for falling snow.
