Purple Onion Designs - Stacey Yacula Winter 2024 Release

I'm happy to be revealing a card featuring a stamp image from 'Whispering Pines' illustrated by  Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs.  This images is called Trixi and Cuddles.  Faintly in the background, disappearing into the blowing snow is 'Perfect Pines' which is a very useful image to start your cards off with.

I stamped Perfect Pines on a A2 white panel of cardstock using 'Fog' ink by Simon Says Stamp.  I then ink blended  the panel using Powder Blue and Cerulean inks by The Stamp Market and I added undulations to the snow on the ground using W1, W0 and W00 Copic markers.

I stamped the Trixi and Cuddles image and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Truck - R59, R39, R29, R27, E44, E43, E31, E41, B000, B00, C3, C1, C0, T6, T5, T4, YR06, Y38

Tree - G19, YG67, YG45, YG41

Pup - T6, T5, T4, T2, W3, W1, W0

Bunny - W5, W4, W3, W2, W0, W00

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I highlighted with a white gel pen, fussy cut the image, backed it with foam tape and applied it to the background offset to the right hand side.

I tied some red/white baker's twine around the card and as I formed a bow I pulled in a little gift tag that I'd stamped LET IT SNOW on using Lipstick ink by The Stamp Market.  Behind this I tucked some glittered white sprigs of fir which are little die cuts from a set by Hello Bluebird Stamps.  I adhered these in place.  I turned over the panel and backed it with white craft foam and adhered the whole thing to a white A6 card base.

Last, but never least with my Winter cards, I dipped a stylus into white acrylic paint and dotted in the snow exactly where I wanted it to be throughout the scene.  Card done!

 

Purple Onion Designs - Whispering Pines Winter 2024 Release

 

I have a new card featuring a Stacey Yacula Studio illustrated design for Purple Onion Designs.  This image is called Frosty and Sweet Pea and it is from the new 2024 Winter Release called Whispering Pines.

I started by creating an A2 card base in white.  I then die cut soft pink cardstock and white cardstock using two dies from Nordic Frames by The Greetery.  I backed the pink panel with white craft foam and applied it to the card base.  With the white panel I used Blush ink by The Stamp Market  and ink blended a focal point and I dotted in some snow using white acrylic paint.  I glued this panel to the pink one and set it to one side.

I stamped the Frosty and Sweet Pea image using Eiffel Tower ink by MFT.  I coloured the image using the following Copic markers:-

Frosty - C3, C1, C0, C00, R0000, E44, E43, YR07, YR04, Y38

Sweet Pea - E31, C3, C1, C0, C00

Frosty's Scarf - R22, R20, R00, R000, C3, C1, C0

Frosty's Hat - E41, E40, E43, R00

Sweet Pea's Scarf - E77, E44, R00

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

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

The sentiment is by Purple Onion and I stamped it on a strip and applied with foam tape and the final touch was the sparkling silver bow which I created using a die from my stash.

Thank you for joining me today for the details, I hope you're inspired to create!
