Stampavie Penguin

This card is made using one of my favourite stamps from Stampavie called Penguin and tree, unfortunately I couldn't provide a link to this clear stamp because I could not find it still being sold anywhere. I coloured the image using Polychromos pencils. The paper used has a little bit of red in it which I carried over into the image which is strictly not in the colour challenge for Sketchy Colours but i just loved this Nitwits paper from the Little Men collection and I just had to use it :)

I also couldn't find my border die anywhere - it is the XCut Border die called Pauline and as I said in my previous post the little snowflake is from the front of a magazine but I can't remember which one.
