Keeping it within the die, I then coloured it using "Blue" dye based inks making it darker around the edge and added a bit of "Green" in the centre. I took it out of the die and stuck the "Penguin" in the centre of it using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue. I think the next time I make it, I will use self adhesive papers such as...
