Now, onto Penguin Palace Challenge #39! This month we have a bright and cheery color palette for our inspiration! Don’t forget to link your projects featuring Penguin Palace stamps below for your chance to win a $25 gift card!

For today’s card, I combined a few different stamp and die sets to create an encouragement card. I started by stamping and Copic-coloring three of the hot air balloon images from Life Is A Carnival, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Next, I created the mountains from grey cardstock using the two dies from the Mountain Landscape Scene Builder Dies & Stencil Set. I also added some shading using a darker grey dye ink and the coordinating stencil.

I used a cloud stencil to create a sky scene on a top-folding A2 card base. Then, I adhered my mountains and hot air balloon diecuts down to my card base ensuring to leave enough room to stamp my sentiment, which is from the Rock Climbing stamp set. Finally, I added some clear embellishments to finish off the card!

We love seeing your creations and would love for you to join us in this month’s challenge! All you have to do to enter is use the challenge color palette to create a project. Full challenge rules can be found here.
