Purple Onion Designs - Baking Fun

 

A warm and cosy welcome to my blog today where I have a new card for Purple Onion Designs.  This postcard themed Christmas card features their 'Baking Fun' stamp image illustrated by the amazing Chilliezgraphy by Pei.  I have also used the 'Vintage Postcard Set Add-On' stamps which will help you take care of all of your postcard style cards without the need for purchasing expensive dies.  Also used in this card are the 'Vintage Postcard Set' (for the stamp) and 'Vintage Holiday Postmark Set' (for the postmark).

To kick things off I took a white A2 panel of cardstock and die cut it with the faux stitched edge.  I lay a stencil on the panel and ink blended above the line using Powder Blue ink by The Stamp Market.  I then used the Vintage Postcard Set Add-On images to create the post card image and I delved into my Purple Onion sentiments and found two perfect sentiments to stamp in the appropriate place.

I used Greenery ink by The Stamp Market to stamp the postage stamp image, I fussy cut it and applied with glue.  I was then able to stamp the  postmark and void images.  The panel was backed with a slightly larger striped cardstock which gives it a little bit of an 'air mail' feel and this was backed with white craft foam and applied to a larger white card base.

I stamped the 'Baking Fun' image and coloured it with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Mouse - W4, W3, W1, W0, W00, E41, R000

Cheeks & Ears - R22, R21, R20, R00

Apron & Chef's Hat - B41, C1, C0

Oven Mitt - G29, YG67, G07

Cupcake - E49, E77, E74, E41, E40

Cupcake Wrapper - C1, C0, BG70

Holly & Berries Garnish - RV69, R39, R29, R27, G29, YG67,  G07

Bow - RV69, R39, R29, R27, T7, T5

I highlighted with a white gel pen and fussy cut the image.  I backed it with dimensional foam tape and applied to card.  I added a little shading under the image using the W Copics colours used above for the body of the mouse.

To complete the card I used a little Stickles glitter on certain areas of the cupcake and garnish and then I dotted in snow using a stylus dipped in Dr. Ph.Martin's Bleed Proof White acrylic paint.
