Strips of P.paper from stash, stamped sentiment from Penny Black and my favourite texture stamp round the edges.
Background on first card was an unliked watercolour my daughter did and she tore it up and binned-then I rescued it knowing it would be brilliant for backgrounds-binning it indeed lol
The background on the second card was made with a piece of card used for cleaning my brayer.

Every time I see these Grumpy Penguins I question myself why I do not have them in my stamp collection. I have so many Grumpy Penguins in my family hee hee!! Fabulous card Carol, you'd be most welcome to share it with us over at Paperbabe Stamps and join our Winter Challenge #108. http://paperbabestamps.blogspot.com

I’d definitely give them a wide berth, Carol! LOL! Great cards! Hugs, de
Oh Carol they look fabulous and bet you were so glad you came to the rescue of that painting, well done they look wonderful.xx
These groupies really gave me a smile this morning...love them....I think they would be perfect for a couple of folks I know! ...take care xxxx
I keep looking at these and wondering, 'Should I? Or should I not????' - but I do like them. I've recently bought 2 penguin stamps, though, so maybe not this year, lol. Brilliant image, lovely cards! Thank you for sharing and for joining Try it on Tuesday's Inspired by a song/carol challenge. Maybe it should be We Three Emperors!

Love these penguins Carol - I'm sure I have this stamp somewhere but not seen it in a year or so!!! Off to try and catch up with what I have missed recently - apologies for my lack of visits - I am on the computer all day at work and really don't want to go on when I get home!!! Hugs rachel x
I do like these Grumpy Penguines and every time I see them they make me smile.
Love the cards Carol - fancy binning a background! you never know when it might come in handy.

Good save on the backgrounds Carol lol. I have bin hoked many times to re use something. Loving this brilliant card!
Very nice cards - love the Penguins
What a great save on that unwanted background your daughter made! These penguins are so much fun with their grumpy expressions!! Cute cards!
OMG I love the image of grumpy penguins. Clever of you to use paper that others might consider trash, thanks for inspiring others to be open minded. Love the cards.
Carol, the backgrounds are stunning! How clever of you to save these two pieces of paper! The penguins stamp is gorgeous! I love both your cards, my friend.

So cute! Love the penguins. Thanks for playing along with Happy Little Stampers!
Carol I love what you did with these grumpy penguins. Thanks so much for sharing them with us at Try It On Tuesday. Hugs-Erika
Oh, aren't they adorable, such wonderfully grumpy penguins.
I love your ingenious backgrounds - want not, waste not, as my mother always said. It also occurs to me that they are the perfect candidate for monochrome cards and great for batch card making .. you can tell I have a one tracked mind at the moment.

I love when we save a scrap and it can be used!!! Who would have known - they look great. Carol, you know I love all your cards but I am having trouble with these "grumpy penguins"! LOL Just can't wrap my head around their even grumpy eyebrows!!!! LOL Such a different stamp and just love what you created with this stamp!!! Big hugs
Haha texture stamp sighting! I am now trained to expect to see you using that stamp on every card, lol. I see why you were excited to get those Grumps, you've made fab cards with them. xox
I love these Katzelkraft stamps! These days I think nothing should be thrown out because it can always be cut down as a background or die cut into a shape or word and then it looks fabulous. Yes, binning indeed. Sheesh!
Such an awesome card! Love the designs! Thanks so much for playing along in the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge. Good luck with your entry and hope to see you again. Sladjana (DT for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends)
