Christmas Card Club - musical theme

What a beautiful day it's been today after all the rain we had last week.

I can't believe it's Christmas Card Club time again and this time Lizzie chose a musical theme.


Time to use my favourite stamp! Love these penguins from Penny Black, stamped with Versafine ink and coloured with promarkers with lots of glamour dust on their hats. Sentiment stamp was a magazine freebie. Gems and ribbon from my stash and matting layers came from the bit box - it's been so long since I got up to mischief  joined in over at Di's playground I had to get a note from Mum!


Just realised I didn't ground the penguins when I coloured them so they look like they're floating in mid-air!

You'll find the links to the other girls in my sidebar if you'd like to pop over and see their creations.
