The beak was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and the eyes were added with Matte Black Dots. The penguin was added to the card front with a blob of liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Fresh Freesia card. I covered it with Black Embossing Powder and heat set it using a Heat Tool. It was added to the card front with liquid glue.

A trio of Pastel Pearls completed the card. I hope you like it.
