The current High Hopes challenge is It's Snowing!
Unfortunately, it's not snowing here on the farm, though... boy, wouldn't THAT be fun!? That would take me back to when I was a kid growing up in NE Washington state. There were many Halloween nights spent trick-or-treating in the first snow of the season. Of course, there were also many Easter mornings with eggs hidden in snow, too... We won't be so lucky to get snow here in Texas.
On my project I chose to use Candy Cane Penguin. The papers I chose to use on the background are from The Paper Studio (I Believe in Santa) paper pad. I thought the pretty blue and white snowflake print combined with the red and white polka dot print would make a cheerful wintery, and SNOWY, greeting.
I added some pretty black velvet ribbon to the card, as well as a snowflake embellishment that I made using an EK Success snowflake punch and a little glossy snowflake gem (from Hobby Lobby).
The image is colored with ShinHan Touch Twin markers. I added clear Studio G glitter glue to some areas, and added a bit more sparkle and shine by topping the glitter glue (before it dried) with some Dazzling Diamonds ultra fine glitter. Sparkle and shine, baby... sparkle and shine!
Find all the details of this week's challenge on the High Hopes blog. I hope you join us for this week's challenge!

Cute & sparkly penguin. We had snow Monday a.m. & I would have been happy to send it your way. Halloween should be good for the trick or treaters after I clear out the foot of leaves the wind blew up on the front porch before it snowed! Happy Wednesday.

I love seeing your paper parings...the blue snowflake with the polka dots is awesome. Choosing Halloween costumes and praying for nice weather was an annual ritual here in northern California!
Thanks Anna!

As we have already had one snow I am hoping it will not snow for Halloween. One year I took the boys out in a SLEET storm and we came home crusted in ICE!
Your penguin looks happy to be in an icy and snowy place. Simply sweet card.

So cute! I can remember trying to get a costume or two over my snowsuit, not because of snow, because it was soooo cold! Then again I remember other years sweating in my costume because it was sooo hot!! LOL! This penguin is super cute- love the glittery details. :)
