Hambo Stamps Penguin Snowball

Are you ready for this week's Hambo Hoedown?!

The challenge is to use felt on your cards along with this cute Hambo Stamps digital Penguin Snowball set or any other Hambo Stamp you may have.  

I knew I had felt I'd stashed somewhere and I found it.  I had a few different colors to choose from and picked this one because if I were a Copic marker I'd be a part of the Blue Green family!  

This cute penguin is colored with Copic markers:

Hat & Scarf - BG53, BG45, BG49

Hat trim, beak & feet - Y13, Y15, Y17

Penguin Black - N3, N5, N7

Snow - G0000

I didn't know if my Die-namics Chevron die would cut through the felt so I tested it out and was very pleased.  I also tried cutting it with my paper trimmer but couldn't get a nice straight cut so I gave up on that idea.  My layout is Operation Write Home's sketch challenge #153 flipped.  

I've been thinking about challenging myself to complete all of the Operation Write Home sketch challenges for 2013...  I know it's a lofty goal, what do you think?

My cardstock choices are Astrobrights Eclipse Black & Galaxy Gold as well as Copic X Press It blending card for the coloring.  I put a full sheet of the Astrobrights Galaxy Gold through my printer to add the sentiment to my card front.  Don't you just love digital stamps!!  The felt came from Papertrey Ink and I used a Die-namics Cheveron die as well as my trusty We R Memory Keepers 1/8th inch Corner Chomper.

It’s a Hambo Blog Hop! And you can join us!

Our jammin’ theme is “Name That Toon.” Using any Hambo image, either rubber or digital, create a project that represents and depicts a comic strip! Maybe it’s your favorite one you read as a kid, or maybe it’s one that you don’t even like! Whatever it is, we want to see your comic strip creations!

The hop is scheduled for Friday, January 18, and is set to go live at 7:00 AM CST.  All blog hop posts must stay at the top of the page for that whole day.  A prize will be awarded to the customer whose comic strip-themed creation tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a hammin’ jammin’ way!  The winner will be announced on the Hoedown blog, as well as on the Hambo blog on Wednesday, January 23.
