A penguin card for my youngest grandson!!
The penguin on this card was created by an young girl who is very creative and also loves to make cards. I attended a meeting with her mother at their home and afterwards she was wanting each of us to take home some of her art. I picked the penguin especially for my grandson's card. It is made with Perler beads and was a bit thick so placed it between two layers of parchment paper and pressed it with a very hot iron which melted the beads further and reduced its thickness by half. He is so cute!! I decided to make it a removable element on his birthday card so he can add it to his penguin collection though quite a few of the others are stuffies!! I punched a hole at the top, added a black ribbon hanger and mounted it to a dark gray card using double sided tape. I glued the hanger to the inside of the card using magic tape so it would be easily removable. I added a layered greeting to the bottom portion of my card. A laser printing font greeting, a black strip of paper over a larger piece that has been punched on both sides with a scallop border punch. I pierced each scallop with a push pin and mounted it to my card front. I added a small strip of yellow cardstock to the right hand side of my card front and then a little fun heart next to my greeting!! I am sure he will love the little penguin!! Therese
