Surfing Penguin Birthday Card

I think this surfing penguin image is adorable as is, but adding an action wobble spring to the back of the panel makes this card even more fun!

he background border was created with a stamp from the “Timeless Textures” set from Stampin’ Up and was repeatedly stamped with Tim Holtz Salty Ocean distress ink.  The penguin image is from the “Penguin Paradise” stamp set (retired?) also from Stampin’ Up.  I colored him in using Bic Alcohol Markers.

The spring is plastic and has adhesive on both sides which makes it is easy to adhere your “moving/wobbling” item to your project.  The action wobble spring is from Hampton Arts and comes in two sizes.  I used a larger one for this project because the panel was big enough to cover the spring, but if you were putting the spring behind a smaller image (like the head of something for a bobble-head effect), the smaller (mini) one may work better.

Thanks for checking out my card project!
