Snowfetti - Illustrated by Julian Charlton for Purple Onion Design's Winter Release

Hello!  Today I have a CAS card for the brand new Winter release by Julian Charlton illustrating for Purple Onion Designs.   This card features Elliot and Marcel and the image is one of four for this release and this one is called 'Snowfetti'.   Release goes live Black Friday the 27th November along with Purple Onion's big sale.

This simple card started with stamping the Snowfetti image using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa on to kraft cardstock.  I used Prismacolor colouring pencils to colour the images giving them a lovely soft appearance and I made the elephant character a little 'hairy' since I think elephants that are hairy are so cute with their fuzz!

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and the panel was stamped with the sentiment using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white.

I then trimmed the panel and layered it over a red panel of cardstock and attached this to a white cardstock base.

To finish up I used Nuvo Stone Drops in Chalk White for my lovely 'snowfetti' which is super dimensional and has a slight granular appearance rather than being glossy, just a for a nice change.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Elliot & Marcel - Holiday Shopping - Illustrated by Julian Charlton for Purple Onion Designs

Hi and welcome to my blog where today I'm featuring a new stamp image featuring those fun buddies Elliot and Marcel illustrated by Julian Charlton for Purple Onion Designs. The image I've used in this card today is called 'Holiday Shopping' and Purple Onion are releasing 4 stamp images designed by Julian this Friday 27th in conjunction with their Black Friday sale!!!

To create this card I used Distress Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg to softly ink blend a background and I used Dr. Ph.Martin's. Bleed Proof White paint to add snow.  This panel was adhered to some tiny gingham cardstock and I die cut a snowy hill for the ground and layered that over.   Using Copic markers in BG90, BG70 and BG0000 I added a little colour to the snow.

I die cut a cheerful red frame, backed it with foam tape and applied it over the blended panel which in turn was all mounted to a cardstock base.

On Copic friendly cardstock I used Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black to stamp the image and I used Copic markers to colour in rich tones to match with the frame.  I carefully fussy cut the image and backed it with foam tape and applied it.  I used a white gel pen to highlight some points.

I popped the card in my Misti and stamped the sentiment and the final touch was to glue some wooden stars to complete the scene.

Such a cute duo!  Happy crafting everyone!

Elliot and Marcel - Hugs - Purple Onion Designs

Hello!  Elliot and Marcel are back again today in this new card I have for Purple Onion Designs featuring the stamp image called 'Hugs' illustrated by Julian Charlton.



The card features and ink blended background done with Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio and I also used some ink to splatter the background.   I added a die cut frame with foam tape to the background.



On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped the Hugs image using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.  I used Copic markers to colour the images (borrowing some flowers from one of the Lottie's Gang stamp images), I fussy cut them and applied them with foam tape.



I highlighted a few points with a white gel pen and stamped the sentiment to a die cut cloud and this was also applied with foam tape.

The finishing touch was one simple little heart embellishment, I like these images kept simple!

Happy crafting!
