Method
Take a large circle mask or make your own using a circle die and masking paper.
Place it over a 6" x 6" card blank.
Place the MFT stencil over the top and use purple tape to hold in place.
Using a blender brush and salty ocean distress, blend a nice amount of ink on to the stencil. Remove the stencil and leaving the circle mask in place lightly blend again to add a hue of colour, this helps defined the circle on your card.
Next stamp out your penguin, in memento ink, any alcohol safe ink will do. Colour in using your alcohol markers.

Embellishments
Red/Pink Twine, Little Bells and Wooden Stag Head.( Dyed using Gina K Red Velvet Ink Pad)
Method
Place the stencil over the green card stock.
Then using a blending tool add the lightest colour of green oxide, (Mowed lawn)
Blend on the colour, then come in with the darker green. (Pine Needles)
add it in patches.
Leave this for a few mins to dry, or speed up drying with a heat tool.
Then line up the stencil and come in with the Unicorn White ink pad, using a blending brush for litter coverage.
Then remove stencil and leave to dry.
I love the effect this gives.
Add your chosen embellishments.
Then fold your Kraft card stock and add to the front.
If your wooden embellishments don't match use a dye ink pad to change the colour.
This is my favorite design.
Happy Stamping
