Penguin Love

I made this card for the Christmas Crafts All Year Round 'Arctic/Antarctic Animals' challenge.  At first I didn't think I had any suitable images, but then came across a cute Christmas card in my 'upcycling box' which has penguins on it.  Although they are flightless birds, some of the design team have used penguins so I guess they will fit the challenge.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white hammer card blank
     Upcycled Christmas card
     Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
     Snippets of white hammer card and white matt card

I cut a piece of white hammer card and white matt card so they were slightly smaller than the front of the card blank and die cut the stitched square from the middle of both pieces of card.  These were layered and attached to the front of the card blank.  The Christmas card was a large 3D card, but I took it to pieces and die cut a square of the backing card and inlaid it into the aperture.  I then die cut around the base of the penguins (they were already fussy cut around the top) and inlaid them into the base of the aperture.  

I am entering the following challenges:
     Christmas Crafts All Year Round - Arctic/Antarctic Animals
     Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Krafty Chicks Challenge - Christmas
