Robin or Penguin?

This month’s Christmas creation uses another Woodware stamp.  It’s called Top Hat Robin but on the price label, the shop’s description was Robin or Penguin.  I must admit, before I saw any of this, I thought it was a penguin.  So, I thought I’d try out both.

To begin, I stamped the bird and sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne and heat set with clear embossing powder.  

 

Next, I coloured the images using Copic Markers.  I added a few scribbles of grey underneath the ground the birds.

 

With the clear heat-embossing, there’s already some shine to the card but I added a bit more bling by using red and white glitter Nuvo Drops.

 

To add a frame, I scored each panel from the back all around the outside before mounting on a black mat and then onto a bright red card base.

Which do you like best? The robin...

 

...or the penguin?

 

The penguin is my favourite!
