I have a new card for Purple Onion Designs today. This is Chloe sitting under the Toadstool and she's thinking of you! All stamps illustrated by Stacey Yacula.
This card started with a simple and super soft ink blended white panel. I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide for this. I stamped the sentiment and then die cut a frame from Kraft cardstock. I set all this to one side.
On Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped all of my Stacey Yacula images using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. I have also used the Tree Line stamp for this card. All images were watercolour painted using a Tombow 991 and Kuretake Zigs in Light Green, Carmine Red, Oatmeal, Mid Gray and Light Pink.
Using a firm rubber mat, I flipped my images over and with a blunt stylus I did small circular movements (avoiding the edges) until the image was nicely curved. I then . backed all images with foam tape and applied them to the background panel. The curved images look more 3D and hide the foam tape when viewed at an angle.
I applied more foam tape to the kraft frame and stuck that down.
Finishing touches were to use my white gel pen to highlight areas and dot in some daisies and I used 3 sparkling clear sequins by Pretty Pink Posh as pretty accents. The whole panel was attached to a sturdy 110lb white cardstock base.
Happy crafting everybody and thank you for coming by to read about this project.
