Penguin Ornaments!!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!!! Today's challenge over at the There She Goes Blog is Fun With Chipboard, TSG28! As soon as I saw the challenge, I knew I wanted to make a few Christmas ornaments using the newly released Penguin Love!!

Now, I know you are all wondering how in the world I am going to come up with a Twilight Series reference today, as I already used my Penguins...Lovely post...well, this is probably a stretch, but the entire time I was making these, all I could think about is when Bella, Jacob & Nessie went to Charlie's house and he had the house decorated for Christmas.

Bella hadn't even thought of the holidays (what with the impending doom and gloom of the Volturi to worry about), and I LOVE Charlie tells Nessie,

"Don't worry Nessie...I got you covered if your mom drops the ball"

Seriously, could Charlie be any sweeter! I love his character throughout the entire series!


Anywho, back to my ornaments :)

These were SUPER simple to make. I started by stamping my little scenes onto Choice Snow White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them all with Copic Markers.

On each one, I added Dazzling Diamonds with my Two Way Glue Pen.

I cut each scene out with Classic Circle Nestabilities, and then matted them all with another Basic Black Circle. At this point, I added my wide gingham ribbon loops, and adhered them to the back of the black panel. Once they were on, I used Foam Tape to adhere the panel to it's corresponding colored Scallop Circle.

I then used some linen thread and gathered the ribbon. I knotted it and the knots are covered up with the glittery chipboard snowflakes/star!



The chipboard was just plain old chipboard shapes that I first colored with Copic Markers, and I then added Dazzling Diamonds to each after I pushed them into a Glue Pad to get them nice and sticky!

I adhered the chipboard with super sticky tape, and then added the buttons on top!!!
