Copic Markers Used:
C0, C1, C3, C5, C7,
G40, G42, YG63
G40, G42, YG63
R20, R22, R24, R29, and

I applied hand quilled roses to complete my card.
Aww Moment For The Day
I spent some time at the aquarium in Chicago and I snapped some cute pics of the penguins they had. It was hard to pry me away from them..... I think I may have been a little fixated!
I am linking this card with the following challenges:

Make It Monday - Anything goes
Inspire Me Fridays - Anything goes
I hope you have a great weekend! Take some time and check out our challenge on the Outlawz : Twisted Thursdays! Hope to see your creation there!
