Photo Inspired Penguin

Here is a penguin card inspired by a photograph:

The photograph and challenge can be found at Pinspirational Challenges:

I tend to colour penguins all sorts of weird colours at times.  This time I decided to work with the colours in the photograph to have a more realistically coloured penguin.  To help keep me on task with that I chose a background paper that fitted in with the colours in the photograph.  This particular paper comes from a paper pad by DCWV that I bought as a christmas pressie for myself.  The pad is called Lemon Flower Matstack.

The image that I have chosen to work with is Winter Penguin Ski by Bugaboo.  I have matted the penguin image onto some pearlised silver cardstock.  The embellishments are some silver glitter ribbon from American Crafts and a button cut using a Memory Box die.  Not sure if you can pick it up from this photograph but the diagonal silver lines on the background paper are all glittery too.
