Penguins In July!

Hi! I am the host of this week's BBTB2 Challenge. I chose the penguin with umbrella cut from the Jolly Holidays cartridge. I specified that the projects did not need to be winter or Christmas related.  I thought it would be fun to do a penguin project in July. Think cool thoughts during this summer heat! I created a 12x12 wall hanging.  I started with a base of large polka-dot paper, then a layer of raindrop and umbrella cardstock. I used a scrap of banner paper cut following the arc of the banners as the "rainbow". I cut with a blade around a few of the umbrellas and slid the rainbow banners beneath. I added a strip of cloud paper to the top. I cut the penguin from brown and light blue cardstock, embossing the brown and embellishing with a swirl clip, ribbon, eyelets and chalk. I cut the umbrella layer from pink polka-dot paper. I added letter stickers and Stickles to the umbrellas and the arcs of the banners, and blue epoxy dot "raindrops" to the background paper.  Check out the other designer's ideas at BBTB2 and chill out with our penguin challenge this week!
