Today I have used the Penguin Friends digital stamp set from The Paper Shelter, our generous sponsor this month, to make some winter birthday cards.



This post is about the distressed square card.

This card uses the pre-coloured image and scene that is included in the Penguin Friends digital stamp set.  I opened the image panel in Silhouette Studio and sized it for the front of my card.  I "picked" the brown from her hair and used it to make the sentiment panel (Lily Bloom Regular font, details below), colouring the background for the panel and the image matting panel by "picking" the cream from the flourishes.  I printed the image panel on smooth white cardstock then trimmed down to 5" x 5".  I distressed the edges (three times, but we are not going to talk about what happened to the first two image panels).  I printed the sentiment panel and first matting panel, trimmed to size and distressed the edges.  Next came another two matting panels in amethyst and eggplant, along with more distressing.

I made the 6" square card base from eggplant cardstock and adhered all the layers in place with liquid adhesive.  The layered sentiment panel was popped in place with foam squares.  I finished off the card by punching some snowflakes from the same cardstock and layered them together.







   

Here's a closer look at my second card.  You can read all about this CAS layered birthday card filled with penguin kisses and birthday wishes HERE or by clicking on the photo below.
