Winter Penguin

I have been liking Nichol Magourik's cards with the frames for a while, she uses frames on most of her cards and I think its very effective. I don't have any large rectangle dies so I used a blueprint and the largest rectangle from the cross stitch stax to create the frame, there are two layers but I think I should have cut a third.

This is definitely a style I will be using again as I think it makes a very plain card pop.
