stayin' cool

i have been wanting and wanting to use this penguin image from the 'my peeps' set from paper smooches for-EVER! and now that i just recently won it, i was super geeked to ink it up!

couple that with the fact that it's SO hot here...i'm talking temperature hot and humid hot all at once...and vwa-la! you have the card i made for this latest paper smooches sparks challenge!

of course the picture is awesome! i mean, a teal piano...yes please!

so the little penguin was stamped and paper-pieced actually. i cut out his belly and eyes that i stamped in black and then colored and glittered his nose. i couldn't resist! 

i love using buttons, and i haven't in a while, so i thought the challenge picture was a perfect reason! they're my interpretation of snowflakes! also, i used the 'alphadot' set for the custom sentiment.

so that's it! hope this card sent you a little cool-th. yes. cool-th, i made it up! :) 

enjoy!
