Lace and Penquins!

The challenge on Tilda & Friends is for Lavender & Lace, I choose this Tilda because she looks more like a Tilda in Jane Austen time, I used some paper whose pattern has lavender flowers on, used some pearlescent card, embossed with the cuttlebug, found some lace and threaded some ribbon through. I really do find these ATC a challenge, sometimes they take longer than a card cos they're so tiny, you should really check out DT how they manage to get so much on them is beyond me. Now when I saw the sketch on CPS #71 I saw penquins, in fact I saw my Penny Black penquins yet again split up. And once I saw penquins I couldn't think of anything else, so I decided to go with the flow. Found some Rusty Pickle cut out the backing paper and had to change my mind what I was doing because the paper was so pretty I couldn't cover it so I stamped some more penquins and made the card below.
I wanted to put Noel or Xmas words on it but has you can see it would be a shame to hide it. So I made the other card the way I orginally wanted using Xmas because the penquins were cute and I thought Noel was a bit posh for them, I cut the letters on the cricut.
