Penguins on Ice

At the last SU! meeting I attended, we were shown this fun icicle technique. It's really simple, but requires some patience. Basically, squiggle some Crystal Effects on some wax paper, make it look like icicles. Next, sprinkle with glitter and then let it dry overnight for optimum results. Anyway, so I made my icicles yesterday, now all I needed was a card for them to go on. The "no evil" penguins seemed like the perfect subjects for the scene. I stamped them in versafine black on ballet blue paper. I coloured them in with prismacolor pencil crayons. These showed up really nicely on the darker paper. Next I added my icicles. Peel it off the wax paper carefully, cut to size and attach it to the project. I found that ultra sticky tape worked best. Other tapes just weren't sticking! I hope you try your own icicles. I have all sorts of other ideas with this technique. If you do try it out, I would love to see it via a link in the comments.

I'll be busy this weekend. I am in a wedding tomorrow, so don't expect much updating until maybe Sunday night. We'll see how energized I feel.
