| The background is made by applying ink with Blending Brushes. It doesn't show here, but the frame is actually silver foil. |
The penguin is stamped on Shimmery White Cardstock. Next, I masked the snow and moon, and applied ink to the background with Blending Brushes.

| Yay! You can see the silver foil frame and the sparkling rhinestone in this photo! |
I stamped the sentiment, cut a circle out of the Basic White Cardstock, and then dry embossed it with the snow pattern from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders set.
*UPDATE: Sadly, the Penguin Place stamp set is now out of stock. However, click here for the French version, which is still available (you could always substitute your own sentiments), and the Penguin Builder Punch, is 60% off!
