Campfire Friends - Winslow and Rusty by Julian Charlton - Purple Onion Designs

Hi!  Today I'm revealing part of a new release by the illustrator Julian Charlton for Purple Onion Designs featuring the adorable Winslow and Rusty.  This is a one layer Copic coloured card and the stamp is called Campfire Friends.


It wasn't necessary to do any masking since the image with the duo huddled around their campfire nicely tucks underneath the separate tree image.   With those two images stamped on to Copic friendly cardstock I was quickly turning my attention to a couple of hours of colouring.


I started my colouring with the campfire and then the halo of blue surrounding it and rising up and up into the deeper BG shades.   I then turned my attention to producing a halo affect under the campfire using increasingly darker YG shades.   The tree trunk is E31, E55 and E27.


The fox (Rusty) was E11, E33 and E35 and I used W3 and W5 to add shadow.   The bear (Winslow) uses Y26, YR24 and YR27 and again W3 and W5 for shadow.  I finished by colouring the other tiny elements which give some nice pop of colour here and there and then I stamped the sentiment.  Finishing touch was to grab my white gel pen and draw in 4 point stars and some more dotted ones and add some highlighting to the characters and ground beneath them.

Finally I just die cut the scene to provide the simple faux stitched edge and with that the card was finished.

I will be back very soon with another card using these cuties in a different setting but the whole release is Fall and Halloween themed.

Happy crafting!
