Birthday Blowout

This retired Penguin set had been on my stamp wishlist for ages. Then one day, my friend Laura told me about someone who wanted to sell their used set. HOOK ME UP, BABY! A few days later and I had the set crossed off my wishlist, and in my hot little hands!

The penguin is stamped in black Stazon ink, and colored in with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The edges are sponged with Walnut ink (Ranger).

If I didn't have so many chores to do today, I'd make more cards using the penguins - they're so stinkin' CUTE!

But, the dishwasher needs emptied and filled, the bathroom needs cleaned, and the floors need to be mopped and vacuumed. Oh, and I have to go to the grocery store. We're fresh outta the basics!

Maybe I should have made a Cinderella card for the day.

Edited to add: This penguin is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Penguin Paradise. Good luck shopping for it to everyone who has asked about the image!
