Christmas Penguins Picture

Good Morning all

As i loved those Grumpy penguins so much last year but always give them away i decided to make something for myself for a change.  So ive made a 3 dimensional picture for my wall to come out year after year at Christmas.  

8x8"   On white card i first made a sky scene with brushos, pixie powders and then inked around the edges with black soot & chipped sapphire distress inks.  White paint flicked on to give a snow effect.

I then designed my igloo.  I first die cut a circle , trimmed off the bottom in a curve and using a black fine liner drew my ice blocks in.  I then edged each block with grey pen and glitter.  For the doorway i cut a smaller circle and cut out the centre and mounted using foam over black card to make it look like an entrance. 

Using white paint and texture paste i created the snowy floor for my penguins to stand upon.  I sprinkled glitter and snow flakes into the wet texture paste. I haven't gone right to the edge as it needs to fit in the frame.

 I stamped my penguin family and simply coloured them and then fussy cut them out. 

For my fairy lights i die cut them from white card, coloured with alcohol markers and added glossy accents.  For my moon i die cut the sentiment circle and used distress inks to colour softly add colours. 

A close up on my igloo and you can see the snow better

I then added my scene into a black box frame, i added more texture paste & snow to the front of the frame and splashed on some white paint for snow. 

Well its already been mentioned by my guests this week as its on the mantle piece for all to see but especially me to enjoy when sat in my chair.  Those penguins still make me smile everything i see them.
