Purple Onion Designs - Milk & Cookies

 

Welcome!  I'm back with a new card design featuring the brand new and now available 'Milk & Cookies' stamp image illustrated by Chilliezgraphy by Pei and available from Purple Onion Designs.

I started by choosing some patterned paper from my stash and from this I chose my overall colour scheme.  I created a series of mats and frames using Mama Elephant's Framed Tags union Square Die and  Sunny Studio's Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies.  I created a snowy ground using Stitched Snowdrifts by MFT and the large snowflakes are Frosty Flakes by Hello Bluebird.

I stacked all the mats and frames and glued them together, the final frame is popped up on dimensional foam tape and I adhered the whole thing to my card base.

I stamped the Milk & Cookies image using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.  I coloured the image using the following Copic marker combinations:-

Cat - E43, E31, E41, E40, C3, C1, C0

Onesie - RV63, RV52, RV000, C5, C3, C1 C0

Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00

Antlers - T9, E77, E44

Cookies - E43, E42, E49, E77

Milk - E40, E41, BG11

I fussy cut the image, backed it with foam tape and applied to the background with foam tape.  I used W4, W2, W1 to add shadow underneath and points were highlighted with a white gel pen.

I used a stamp positioning tool to stamp the sentiment in exactly the right spot and the Frosty Flakes were glued in place as a finishing touch.

Another Christmas card complete and ready to send out!

Purple Onion Designs - Happy Mail

 

Welcome to my blog and a brand new holiday card for Purple Onion Designs that was created using the super cute Happy Mail stamp illustrated by Chilliezgraphy by Pei, in combination with their Vintage Postcard Set and Vintage Holiday Postmark Set.

I took an A2 panel of white cardstock and die cut it using The Greetery's Postcard Details Die.  I used the MFT Slimline Drifts & Hills Stencil and ink blended above it using 'Stormy Sky' Distress Oxide Ink.  The panel was glued to a slightly larger striped panel (Lawn Fawn paper) and then this was adhered a slightly larger again, white card base.

I stamped the stamp image using the same Stormy Sky ink and then using black ink I stamped the other elements.

I stamped the Happy Mail image and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Bear - E43, E31, E41, E40

Penguins - T7, T5, T3, T1

Postbox - R39, R29, R27, R24

Brown - E49, E77, E44, E43

Teal - BG72, BG11

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

Shadows - C5, C3, C1, C0

I highlighted with a white gel pen and fussy cut the image, backed it with foam tape and applied it to the scene where I glittered parts of it using Stickles glitter.

To complete the card, I added snow throughout the scene.  I did this by dipping a stylus into Dr. Ph.Martin's Bleed Proof White acrylic paint.  This gives you the control to add the flakes exactly where you want them and for a realistic look I recommend that you make sure to dot the snow on some of the lines of the illustration.

Last but not least I added three die cut decorative snow flakes.  Mine were made using Hello Bluebird's Frosty Flakes Die.

Another holiday card complete!  Thanks for taking the time to read my blog today and I promise to be back soon with something new.

Purple Onion Designs - Poinsettia Love

 

Welcome to my blog and a new card for Purple Onion Designs that features a new image from Chilliezgraphy by Pei called Poinsettia Love which forms part of the newest release.  To create this card I created some mats.  An A2 white, a slightly smaller red and I die cut some Poinsettia patterned cardstock from my stash to give it the faux stitched edge.  All mats were glued together, backed with a panel of white craft foam and adhered to a white A6 card base.

I used the Nesting Oval Die set from Hello Bluebird stamps.  I cut the large oval from heavyweight vellum cardstock and the smaller from white cardstock.  I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink to ink blend the focal point, I added a little snow using a stylus dipped in white acrylic paint.  The ovals were glued together then to the background panel.

I stamped the sweet Poinsettia Love image using black ink and coloured using the following Copic marker combinations:-

Skunk - T6, T5, T4, T3, C3, C1

Green - G29, G28, YG67, YG07

Red - R89, R39, R29, R24

I fussy cut the image and applied it to the ink blended area using dimensional foam tape.

I highlighted a few points and used a black glaze pen to make the skunk's nose shiny and I dotted in a design on the scarf.

I stamped the sentiment found here and applied it with foam tape and then added some die cut snowflakes from my stash each with a sparkling clear sequin in the centre and with that, this card was complete.

Thanks for stopping by!

Purple Onion Designs - Stacey Yacula Winter 2024 Release

I'm happy to be revealing a card featuring a stamp image from 'Whispering Pines' illustrated by  Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs.  This images is called Trixi and Cuddles.  Faintly in the background, disappearing into the blowing snow is 'Perfect Pines' which is a very useful image to start your cards off with.

I stamped Perfect Pines on a A2 white panel of cardstock using 'Fog' ink by Simon Says Stamp.  I then ink blended  the panel using Powder Blue and Cerulean inks by The Stamp Market and I added undulations to the snow on the ground using W1, W0 and W00 Copic markers.

I stamped the Trixi and Cuddles image and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Truck - R59, R39, R29, R27, E44, E43, E31, E41, B000, B00, C3, C1, C0, T6, T5, T4, YR06, Y38

Tree - G19, YG67, YG45, YG41

Pup - T6, T5, T4, T2, W3, W1, W0

Bunny - W5, W4, W3, W2, W0, W00

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I highlighted with a white gel pen, fussy cut the image, backed it with foam tape and applied it to the background offset to the right hand side.

I tied some red/white baker's twine around the card and as I formed a bow I pulled in a little gift tag that I'd stamped LET IT SNOW on using Lipstick ink by The Stamp Market.  Behind this I tucked some glittered white sprigs of fir which are little die cuts from a set by Hello Bluebird Stamps.  I adhered these in place.  I turned over the panel and backed it with white craft foam and adhered the whole thing to a white A6 card base.

Last, but never least with my Winter cards, I dipped a stylus into white acrylic paint and dotted in the snow exactly where I wanted it to be throughout the scene.  Card done!

I started by preparing an A2 panel of patterned cardstock with a fir tree design.  Over this I layered a die cut formed using the Winter Woods Overlay Die by Hello Bluebird Stamps, I also used their Hill & Dale die to provide a snowy ground.  I used W1, W0 and W00 Copic markers to add some shadows to the tree and ground then I backed it with foam tape and applied it to the patterned cardstock background.  I added this panel to a lilac panel of cardstock in A6 proportions then to the card base.

I stamped the main image using Eiffel Tower ink by MFT.  I coloured using the following Copic marker combinations:-

Bear - E77, E44, E43, E42, E41

I highlighted the image with a white gel pen, added snow by dipping a stylus into white acrylic paint and I stamped the sentiment (from Purple Onion) and applied the strip with foam tape.
