Gerda Steiner Valentine Penguins in the Snow using Copic Markers

 Hello Crafters! 

Whoo It's been a bit hectic this week.

My go sitters are out of town and the hubs and I are balancing work/time off/and child care. 

Man, Momming makes you so tired lol

Which is why I'm a day late with this card. 

A day late for what you say?

Gerda Steiner Designs is having a 20% off sale!

Go. run. 

Seriously, there stamps are completely adorable. 

You can shop all their stamps here. Use the code LOVE to get the discount.

It's only available through February 9th so make sure you get what you want and get over there. 

Nothing worse than having a coupon code and everything you want is sold out!

Speaking of charming stamps . . .

Let's talk about the little sweetheart in their graphic shall we?

Eeep! These penguins! 

I mean, how can you not love them!

They are "technically" Valentine Penguins but I'm using them for more than just that. 

They are too stinkin cute for just one holiday!

Also, I'm too stinkin cheap to use them for just one holiday 

hahaha

I really wanted to try my hand at creating Copic water so they were perfect to give it a go. 

I did have a few mishaps but then again I always do! 

You can watch the whole card and all the boo-boos in the video below 

Even though it was a little scary and a lot more outside my comfort zone I'm glad I tried. 

For some reason fixing things really helps me learn so it's a good thing I make tons of mistakes! 

Thank you so much for dropping in! 

I'll be seeing you again real soon :)
