Penguin Snow Dome

Good Morning Everyone, i hope you are having a good week. 

Going on from my snowman dome that i uploaded recently (see here),  ive now made a bigger one using those fabulous grumpy penguin stamps from Katzelkraft, also instead of the coloured micro lights ive used plain clear ones this time.  I built a little igloo for my penguins to live in and plenty of snowflakes. 

Dome size approx 7x4".  Its a plastic dome with a wooden base and it comes with a seperate wood insert - this is what i built my scene on, so its easy to remove and work on.  I first splashed white paint around the inside of the dome to give the effect of snow falling.  I then stamped and cut out my penguins - added a little simple colour with pens. I also made a simple igloo white white card and my circle dies.  

On the bottom disc i built up snow using white texture paste, glitter and little balls.  I then stuck my penguins into the wet texture paste and added my igloo to the back of the scene. I then die cut lots of snowflakes from white card, i arranged some inside the dome and as they were all symmatical i also added one on the outside to match up to the ones inside - this hid any glue id used.

Then i threaded the lights through the holes in the base to finish. 

This one shows the igloo a bit better.  I die cut a circle and trimmed the bottom off in a slight curve, i die cut a smaller circle to make my entrance, i added detail with a blue grey alcohol marker.
