Purple Onion Designs - Beary Christmas

 

Welcome to my blog and a CAS card for Purple Onion Designs that features the Beary Christmas stamp image illustrated by Chilliezgraphy by Pei.  The sentiment is from the Holiday Time Sentiment stamp set and the main panel was die cut using Stitched Pinking Edge Rectangle Stax Die-namics by MFT.

I used the Stax Die-namics to die cut a white A2 panel.  I used a stencil and ink blended above it using Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and leaving the area below white for a steep snowy hillside.  I stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner then backed the panel with white craft foam and glued it to a kraft panel then to a white A2 card base.

I stamped the Beary Christmas image and coloured it with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Bear - E77, E74, E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00

Christmas Tree Hat - YG67, YG45, YG06

Star - Y21, Y00, C3, C1, C0

Mouse - T6, T5, T3, T1

I highlighted with a white gel pen and used a black glaze pen to emphasise the nose and eyes and then I fussy cut the image.

I backed the image with dimensional foam tape and applied it to the background.  I added some skid mark on the snowy hillside using C3, C1 and C0 Copic markers and finished the card by glueing 3 small sparkling clear sequins in place.
