Christmas Penguin and a top tip

First the tip.. Did you know that the inside of long life cartons were silver? I cut off the top and bottom of the carton, cut it down the seam and then give the resulting sheet a good wash.


The paper is quite stiff but is great for die cuts like the snowflakes in this card.


The cute penguin is a freebie from Beccy's Place.

This card is my entry for the following challenges:
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #72
Top Tip Tuesday #3
My Partner in Crafting Crime Recipe Challenge #11 3 embellies, 2 designer papers, 1 non-traditional element. I used a silver pipe cleaner from a child's Christmas craft kit.
The One Stop Craft Challenge Week #99 Snowflakes in September
