Playful Penguins with Pigment Sprinkles

Here are the Playful Penguins (150532) again. There’s a brilliant card in the catalogue which inspired this one. I used pigment sprinkles for my background though – and only the bermuda bay. I first tried just sponging on inks but it go muddy. I like the variety that I got with the one pigment sprinkles.

I used water color paper and a spritzer plus a paper towel to blot it to get this effect. I matter it in black which also helps with the curving tendency of watercolor paper that has been well drenched I then went on a search for the perfect card base – turned out to be shaded spruce! The penguin is stamped in memento black with a blueberry bushel bow tie. A few of the Woven Threads sequins finished it off.
