Purple Onion Designs - Christmas Present

 

I have a new card today celebrating the latest Winter stamps from Purple Onion Designs featuring an image called Christmas Present, illustrated by Chilliezgraphy by Pei.

To create this card I first created a gold mat of cardstock over which I glued a patterned panel from my stash.  I adhered these two mats to a white A2 panel of cardstock.  I wrapped around some heavyweight vellum adhering on the back of the panels and I die cut an icicle edge using the Icicle Edge Die-namics by MFT.

I stamped the Christmas Present image and coloured using the following Copic markers:-

Bunnies - E31, C3, C1, C0, C00

Badger - T6, T5, T4, T2, T0

Red - R39, R29, r24, R22

Green - YG67, YG45, YG41

Muted Yellow - Y26, Y21, T2, T0

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I fussy cute the image keep some snowy ground around them, I backed the image with foam tape and applied it to the bottom of the vellum and again wrapped the 'wings' around the back and secured.  I then glued the panels to my card base.

I used a black glaze pen to emphasise eyes and noses and paw pads, then I highlighted sparingly with a white gel pen.  I stamped the sentiment speech bubble and  and applied with foam tape.  To finish it all off I added the snow using a stylus dipped into white acrylic paint (I like Dr. Ph.Martin's Bleed Proof White).

Another Christmas card done!

Purple Onion Designs - Cozy Christmas

Today I'm revealing my first card as a guest designer for Purple Onion Designs brand new Christmas release.   This absolutely adorable stamp image is called 'Cozy Christmas' and it was illustrated by Pei of Chilliezgraphy.  I have also used the 'Vintage Postcard Set' which is perfect for all of us who love the postcard look to our projects.  It is hard to explain the appeal but for me it always lends a beautiful charm.

To create this card I started by using the Postcard Details Die by The Greetery, together with their Postal Modern stamp set.  I used the die to die cut an A2 white cardstock panel.  I used some of the stamp images from the stamp set to add some details.  All stamping on this card was done using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.  I then stamped using images from the Vintage Postcard Set and I used a couple of older sentiments from Purple Onion to form the HAPPY HOLIDAY Celebrate the season message.

I took a stencil from my stash that would give me a snow line.  I placed it at the bottom of the postcard and above it I softly ink blended using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped and Copic coloured the Cozy Christmas image, here are the colours used:-

Logs - E31, W3, W1, W0

Fire - YR04,  Y38, Y000

Pup - T6, T5, T4, T2, C3, C1, C0

Bear - E77, E44, E43, E42, E41

Kitty - E31, C3, C1, C0

Fire glow on bodies - Y21, Y000

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

Robin - E44, E43, e42, R05, R22

Mouse - C3, C1

Blue Clothing - B00, BG000, C3, C1, C0

Pink Scarf - R81, RV000, C3, C1, C0

I fussy cut the image, backed it with dimensional foam tape and applied it to the background.

I added a little pink Copic to the stamp image and added a little W1, W0 under the main scene for shadow and to finish thinks off I added snow in a controlled manner by dipping a stylus into Dr. Ph.Martin's Bleed Proof White acrylic paint and the dotting it exactly where I wanted.

Once dry, I attached the postcard scene to my card base and then it was complete!

Mama Elephant - Holiday Block Set

Creating for fun with wonderful products by Mama Elephant, I used the following products to create this Christmas card:-

Holiday Block Set

Holiday Block Set Creative Cuts

Galactic Cover Creative Cuts

I prepared an A2 panel of sparkling silver cardstock.  Over this I layered a white A2 panel that I die cut using the Galactic Cover Creative Cuts.  I adhered these panels to my card base.

Using Memento Ink in Black Tuxedo, I stamped the images from Holiday Block Set and I coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Bunny - W4, W3, W1, W00, R0000

Penguin - T6, T4, T2, C3, C1, C0, R0000

Puppy - E55, E31, W4, W2, W1, W0

Fox - E11, E00, C3, C1, C0, W00

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I die cut the images using the coordinating Creative Cuts and then I used an edge die from my stash to create some snowy ground for the critters to stand on and I used a little W1, W0, BG0000 to add some interest and shadows.  I adhered this to the bottom of the main panel then added the critters and the large sentiment with dimensional foam tape.

To complete the scene, I added the stars which I shaded on the side with the C1 Copic marker and I glittered the front face.  I applied these with foam tape and then a few sparkling clear sequins were the finishing touch.

Another Christmas is done - yay!  Thanks for stopping by!
