This card didn't actually start out as being a monochromatic card. I found some nice blue Christmas papers that I decided to use. When I think of penguins, I either think of Yellow Eyed Penguins or Little Blue Penguins - both of which can be found in New Zealand. Actually, I think both of them might be endangered species but can't be totally sure on that. Anyways, when I went to colour the penguins, I just seemed to grab out my blue markers. Fortunately, there was a monochromatic challenge that appeared yesterday:

The papers all come from a Christmas set by Trimgym. I have matted each layer with light blue cardstock. Die-cutting is all done with Spellbinders - rectangles of varying sizes, scallop circle. The image is Snow Buddies Gifts from Digi Darla and has been coloured with blue copic markers with the addition of Stickles - Waterfall. The silver snowflake ribbon is from American Crafts. The sentiment is from Mudmaven Designs. I have also added star shaped rhinestones.
