Lottie's Gang - Flower Friends - Purple Onion Designs

My third card for Purple Onion Designs this month is another Julian Charlton illustrated Lottie's Gang image called Flower Friends.

To create this card I first ink blended the cloudy pink background using a cloud stencil in my stash.  I then grabbed the Birch Tree Background stamp from the 'A Beautiful Day' collection by Stacey Yacula and stamped and fussy cut the trees, adhering directly to the background panel.

I used a cloud die from my stash for the tree tops and ink blended them and a grassy edge die also from my stash for the lower grass panel which I also ink blended.  I stamped the sentiment.

I die cut the Mama Elephant scalloped frame and then glued the cloud/treetops to the inside, backed the frame with foam tape and applied it to the panel and then adhered the grass panel directly over the top of the frame at the bottom.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped my Flower Friends image using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.   I Copic coloured the images.  Pigs RV0000, RV000, RV00, RV10 with W1 and W2 for shading.  Skin E0000, E21 and E04.   Fox E13, E15 and E37 with W1 and W2 for shading.   Dress FRV1 and RV04.  All images were fussy cut and applied with foam tape. Flowers were glued directly.

To finish I grabbed W2 and W3 and shaded in under the characters to ground them and I used gel pens to dot in some interest around them.   The whole panel was applied to the card base and then was complete.

Happy crafting!

Lottie's Gang - Squad Hug - Purple Onion Designs

I'm back with another card featuring a Julian Charlton illustrated image called Lottie's Gang - Squad Hug for Purple Onion Designs.

I grabbed a panel of grey cardstock and first ink blended a focal point using white pigment ink followed by Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar.  The white base allows for the pink to really look pink which it wouldn't so much do if it went down directly on the grey.

I stamped the image using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured the image using Copic markers. Pigs are RV0000, RV000, RV00 and RV10 with W1, W2 for shading.  Skin is E000, E21 and E11.  Fox is E13, E15 and E37 with W1 and W2 for shading.   Lottie's dress is B41 and B12.   I then fussy cut the image carefully and used a sharp craft knife to remove cardstock in the spaces.

I backed the image with foam tape and applied it to the focal point I'd created.

I stamped the sentiment and again used foam tape to apply it and then I found some little heart dies from my Hello Bluebird stash and I die cut white cardstock over and over again and then glued these little hearts in stacks of about 4 or 5 so I got these lovely dimensional hearts as a result.   I arranged and glued these to the scene floating around the group hug image.

Finally, I used the Gallery Frame #4 die from Hello Bluebird Stamps to create a white frame which again was added with foam tape.   The entire panel was adhered to a card base and with that the card was completed.

Happy crafting!

Lottie's Gang - Purple Onion Designs

Hello all!  Today I'm playing with the Julian Charlton illustrated stamp called Lottie's Gang for Purple Onion Designs.

To create this card I first ink blended a panel of cardstock using various Distress Oxide inks in pastel hues.  I just made circular blending motions and as I switched to another colour I overlapped the previous one for a soft overlap.  To add more interest I used a stencil in my stash that is great for doing bokeh designs and uses white pigment ink and blended on the subtle white bokeh affect which is more noticeable when the card is handled since it has a subtle sheen.

I die cut the frame using the Gallery Frame #2 die by Hello Bluebird Stamps, backing it with foam tape for dimension and sticking it down on the pastel panel which in turn was adhered to a card base.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped the image using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured the image using Copic markers.   Pigs RV0000, RV000, RV00 and RV10 and shading W1 and W2.  Skin E0000, E21 and E04.  Fox E13, E15 and E37.  Balloon BV0000, B60, BV31 and V22.  The image was very carefully fussy cut, backed with foam tape and applied.

For the sentiment I stamped using Versamark Ink and then heat embossed in superfine gold embossing powder, this was also applied with foam tape and finally a few teeny tiny gold star embellishment were applied for a little festive twinkle.

Happy crafting!

Lottie's Gang - Flower Friends - Purple Onion Designs

Hello!

I'm continuing to share cards using the new Lottie's Gang stamp images illustrated by Julian Charlton for Purple Onion Designs.   This particular and very sweet image is called Flower Friends.



The card features a pale peach panel of cardstock that I stamped and heat embossed to give it the plaid look.  This was applied to a card base.  On a strip of white cardstock the image was stamped and I coloured it with Copic markers.



I backed it with another piece of pale peach cardstock and attached this to the panel.  I tucked a die cut cloud in the top for some interest and stamped and applied the sentiment.



I kept the embellishments minimal with a couple of toning green crystals applied to the cloud.

Appreciate you stopping by to read today.  Happy crafting!

Lottie's Gang - Squad Hug - Purple Onion Designs

Hi!  I'm back with a new card in the CAS (Clean and Simple) design featuring Lottie's Gang and this image is called Squad Hug and illustrated by Julian Charlton for Purple Onion Designs.



The card features a white panel that I stamped with the image, I coloured it with Copic markers and stamped the sentiment beneath.



I then flipped the panel over and scored the edges to make a frame around them.  The panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to the card base.  A few toning purple heart embellishments finish out the scene.



I picked a gorgeous purple envelope to pair with this card to tone with Lottie's dress.

Lottie's Gang - Birthday Squad - Purple Onion Design

Hello!

This is Lottie's Gang illustrated by Julian Charlton for Purple Onion Design.  This stamp image is called Birthday Squad and I just adore it!




The card features a stencil ink blended panel (from my stash) and a faux stitched edge, finishing the panel a little smaller than A2.  I layered this over a similarly die cut A2 pink panel, popped up on white craft foam.



The sentiment was stamped and then on Copic friendly paper I stamped the image and coloured it, then fussy cut the image, backed it with dimensional foam tape and applied it.  A few points were highlighted with a white gel pen and a few hearts were glued in place to finish the happy scene.



Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back soon with another project featuring this new collection.
