** Winter Wonderland Challenge

Hello everyone,

Time for a new challenge at

Winter Wonderland

where we are sponsored by the wonderful

Twinkle Lane Designs

Our theme this month chosen by our team mate Louise is "Penguins" 

I have coloured with Copics a cute digi I was given by the sponsor

She is called : Snow Penguin and is available here in the shop.

I sprinkled navy cardstock with diluted Copic Opaque White. My jar is so old it has solidified but comes back to life with a little water.  The sentiment is from the Twinkle Snow Penguin digi set.

Frame is MFT die and Diamond stickles added to the snow for sparkle.
