Pile It On Narwhal Hi

This week at Pile It On, the theme is Mostly Orange and our sponsor is Whimsy Stamps, who was so generous to send us images to work with. I got the cute Narwhal Whale. At first I wasn't sure how to incorporate a whale into the orange color scheme, but then I thought the company name is Whimsy... so I decided to do an orange paper pieced whale!


I had a really old pad of patterned paper from Stampin' Up! with a bunch of different patterns in this really pretty soft orange color so I used a few different sheets for this card.

I stamped the whale onto the swirly PP and also onto white cardstock for the eye and horn. The whale is popped up with foam tape and I also did a little shading with Copic markers and highlighting with an Inkssentials gel pen.

Challenges:

• Pile It On - Mostly Orange and combine with at least one other challenge.
• Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii - sketch (it's their very first challenge so be sure to go check them out!) Another requirement of the challenge is to answer their trivia question which is "What is the Area Code for Hawaii?" I'm going to take a wild guess here (lol!) and say 808.
• 365 Cards - Try a Technique (paper piercing).
• Paper Blooms - Animal Fun (this is my second entry).

I hope you like my orange whale and TFL!
