Purple Onion Designs - Christmas Igloo

 

A warm welcome to my blog and this new card I've created for Purple Onion Designs featuring a stamp image illustrated by Chiliezgraphy by Pei called 'Christmas Igloo'.  This card also features the Stitched Hillside Border Die and Snow Flurries Backdrop Die both by Lawn Fawn.

I started by ink blending my night sky filled with Aurora Borealis.   To do this I took a white panel of cardstock and I first applied streaks or blobs of Twisted Citron and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Inks.  I then came in with Chipped Sapphire in all areas and then I came in with Black Soot.   In reality these colours aren't quite as pungent as they have photographed, it's more realistic in person.

I created the hillside border using the Lawn Fawn die mentioned above and I glued it to the background.  Over this I glued the Snow Flurries die cut created from sturdy white cardstock.  I set this to one side.

I stamped the Christmas Igloo image and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Polar Bear - E41, E40, C3, C1, C00

Igloo - BG70, C1

Penguins - T6, T5, Y19, YR09

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

Hat and Scarf - V17, V04, V12

I added highlights and a polka dot design on the hat using a white gel pen and I emphasised eyes and the polar bear's nose with a black glaze pen and then fussy cut the image which I backed with foam tape and adding to the background.

To complete the card I added silver jewel type embellishments to the centres of the snowflakes of the frame and I added gold Stickles glitter to the garland of stars they are adorning the igloo with.  Last but not least I stamped the sentiment which is from Hello Bluebird and applied this under the image with more foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!
