Kathy is setting our challenge over at
Daring Cardmakers today - the theme is deckchair stripes and sunny spots so of course my mind turned to... Christmas! Anything with stripes or spots or both works for this theme, you can make your own or use something already striped or spotted!
I got these penguins in the same package as last week’s tentacle die and since their hats and scarves are striped and spotted I thought they’d fit this challenge nicely and bag me my first Christmas card of the year! As I’m pushing my luck with Kathy in any case since it’s a Christmas card in July I thought I ought to up the stripe factor with a background stamp.

What a great card - you were right about the penguins being perfect for this challenge. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
Such a cute pair and I love their hats. I really need to get started on Christmas, I did my first card earlier this week too. Have a lovely weekend.

What a great way to pair a "summer" pattern with a winter theme!
Love birds in hats...these guys are no exception. Adorable!

Gorgeous modern feel with those bold and bright colours and stripes. Your penguins are so cute and the hats are awesome. Thanks for joining the fun at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge. Hugz
This is so cute and lovely. Beautiful card!!!
I'm sure Kathy will forgive you for bringing the C word into it! LOL It's such a lovely card after all! I've been steadily working on Christmas cards behind the scenes, which was a real struggle in super sunny May, that's for sure! ;) But it will all pay off in the end.
What a fun duo! Love this - even if it's a c-word thing... *giggle*
Hahaha! I'll let you off the Cword thing as this is so darned cute! I love how the stripes really make the cute penguins pop out. It looks fab
