For me I had some Exciting exciting news. As part of our CTMH Business Builders late in 2020, we had a vision board challenge, to create a vision board with the fabulous inspirational stamp set called Make It Happen, the Perfect Match Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet,  and the new Wood Frame. We had to use a new technique or two that we learned, I used shadow stamping and staining the wooden frame. My vision board WON A PRIZE!! Below is my Vision Board that won the prize. My vision board almost fits this colour dare challenge too because I have the pink and peacock/lagoon colour ink that I used to stain the frame.

This week my prize arrived. I got a beautiful handmade card handwritten by Monica Wihongi (my daughter was as star struck and excited as I was about this card thanks Monica!!) and the Winter Penguins Stamp + Thin CutsMy sister in the UK LOVES penguins, so I have a soft spot for these little cuties.

I HAD to make my card for Colour Dare with this stamp and thin cut set and my favourite two colours Lagoon & peacock (with a touch of pink flamingo). The little penguin is so cute. I cut the penguin in white daisy cardstock and stamped in peacock ink. Then inked up just the heart balloon and stamped that on the flamingo cardstock and fussy cut out to layer it on top of the cutie. 

I put the background peacock cardstock, then cut two wavy stitched edges from Fancy Borders Thin Cutsin both sides of lagoon and one in white (in one different thin cut). 

I did some stamp surgery and cut the Sliding by to say Thanks (I cut the thanks off). I wanted to split it but also wanted to be able to say other things... sliding by to say Hi; or sliding by to say I love you; or sliding by to say congratulations... etc etc. 

I stamped the "Sliding by to say" in peacock and the "Thanks!" in flamingo.
