Hello Crafty friends,
Happy New Year! Wishing you the best for 2025!
I have a very festive card today to celebrate the new year.
To create this card, I started by hand-drawing the left glass of champagne. I then made a copy of the glass, using vellum. I used a pencil to copy the glass, then flipped the vellum and placed it over the panel on the right to the other glass and I penciled over the lines to transfer them onto the panel.
I then stamped the images using the masking technique to place the glasses over the penguins arms and also masked the diving penguin to stamp the penguin-mermaid at the back.
I started with the bottom glass from the Paradise birds stamp set, and the diving penguin, from the Pengu-tastic holiday stamp set, placing him on the edge of the champagne glass. I stamped the images with Memento Black Tuxedo ink and masked both images. I then stamped the mermaid penguin, from the Underwater wonders set, inside the other champagne glass, holding the small glass, and the bottom penguin, from the Pengu-tastic holiday stamp set, making him hold the other small glass.
I removed the masks but saved them for later.
I then colored the glasses and penguins with Copic markers.

I masked the top penguins and the small glass again and stenciled the streamers from the Carnival party stencil and die set, using Squeezed lemonade and Mustard seed through the first stencil, and Mustard seed and Wild honey through the second stencil.
Finally, I removed the masks and stamped the sentiment from the Midnight blooms stamp set, with Memento Black Tuxedo ink.
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a lovely crafty time,
Sylvie
