I've had the CC Designs Little Penguins stamp set sitting here on my desk for a couple of weeks now - and as I pulled them out of their case the other day Veronica took a look at them and started talking about the cute duckies - and I thought of COURSE! So the credit for all these cards goes to her!:
I stamped the little balloon penguin onto white card stock, colored him in with Copic markers, then masked him and stamped A Muse's Micro Oval BL (this is their smallest oval and is PERFECT for these little guys!) in celery ink for the ground.
I punched the main image out with my Marvy Mega Scalloped Oval Punch.
The sentiment is also by A Muse.
I used my Nestabilities Large Circle die to cut the circle out of the textured Soft Sky card stock (Stampin' Up!).

For this one I stamped both penguins AKA ducks onto white card stock, colored them in with Copic markers then masked them and stamped A Muse's Small Oval in pink ink.
I punched the main image out with my Marvy Mega Scalloped Heart punch and sponged the edges with Real Red (Stampin' up!) ink.
The heart-textured background was made with my CuttleBug and the Heart Blocks A2 embossing folder.
I finished off the card with a couple of pink heart brads (by Provo Craft - I got them at Michaels last year), some May Arts ribbon and the sentiment (from the Little Penguins set).

I had a few circles of card stock sitting on my desk and instead of tossing them I used them on this card.
I stamped the image onto white card stock, masked stamped the oval and colored him in with Copics then punched him out with SU!'s 1 3/8" Circle Punch.
The sentiment is by A Muse (one of my favorites).
I added some Primas and some May Arts ribbon and that was it!

So really this set has DOUBLE the versatility that I originally thought it did - b/c not only is it a year-round set but depending on how you color them they can be ducks or penguins or any other bird-type creature you come up with LOL! Gotta love it.....
