New Winslow & Rusty – Campfire Friends Stamp Set From Purple Onion Designs

October 17, 2020 TatianaLeave a comment

Hello and welcome!!!

This week I had a chance to play more with new amazing autumn collection of rubber stamps from Purple Onion Designs illustrated by very talented Julian Charlton.

My choice was the super adorable Winslow & Rusty – Campfire Friends stamp set that comes as a fabulous scene already arranged for you along with two fun matching sentiments. It was quite a while since I made a one layer wonder working with the masking technique. And since I have some time to spend in crafting, I decided to go with it! To start, I stamped twice first on Neenah Solar White paper and then on a piece of a masking paper Campfire Friends. I used the MISTI tool to assure a perfect crisp image and copic friendly Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I very carefully fussy cut with my sharp small scissors the masks that I needed to cover all the open areas on the Campfire Friends. Once the masks were applied, I inked the sky and ground portions around the critters working very slowly and using different sizes of the blending brushes. I started with a small brush and Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink around the fire, then added Wild Honey shade extending the inked circle. At this point I divided my background the sky and the ground with a piece of sticky tape and continued inking with Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, Blueprint Sketch, Black Soot towards the top; Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint Distress inks towards the bottom of the card front. I added some splatters of a white gouache creating stars and a few tiny drops of pearlescent solution all across the inked area just for something little extra. Finally I carefully and slowly removed the masked and proceeded with copic coloring.

As always, I’m sharing with you the complete list of the markers used on this project: COPIC E30-E31-E33-E35-E37; E41-E44; Y00-Y11-Y15-Y17-Y21; YR30-YR21-YR15-YR04-YR68 plus E99; YG01-YG67-YG91-YG93-YG95-YG99; R20-R29-R35B91-BB93-B99; T1-T3-T5-T7;

I framed the colored scene with a die from Simon Says Stamp’s Stitched Rectangles die set and added a simply stamped sentiment using again he MISTI tool and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Finally I popped the piece on an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) and finished with a few highlights made with a white gel pen.

Hope you like the adorable new stamps and my cute card! As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Tatiana

Let’s Stay Home Card (ft. SugarPea Designs)

Hello and welcome!

I’m super excited to be featured on SugarPea Designs blog!!! Today I came up with a clean and simple copic colored scene highlighting new adorable Let’s Stay Home stamp and die sets!

Let’s Stay Home stamp set is one of my favorites! It filled with lots of different accessories that give so many possibilities for scene building cards. To start, I used the coordinating Let’s Stay Home SugarCut that comes so handy when you have to work with many small elements. I die cut all the shapes I need for today’s project form Copic X-Press paper, using my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. Next I switched to the stamping positioning tool and stamped the outline images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink since it works great with alcohol based markers. Finally I proceeded with coloring using copic markers.

As always, I’m sharing with you all the colors used on this project: COPIC MARKERS RV00-RV21-RV23-RV25; BG0000-BG10-BG11-BG13; T0-T3; YR30-YR31-Y21-YR24-YR27; E99; E31-E35;G20-YG13-G24.

An extended A2 size (5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″) white card base was trimmed and scored from Neenah Solar White paper. Another additional square piece that measures 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ was cut out for the background and embellished with English Bond Brick Wall pattern. I taped well the stencil to the paper to prevent any movement before inking it with Antique Linen Distress and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. Finally I assembled the whole scene together popping some stamps on a foam tape for a fun dimensional look and finished with a heat embossed sentiment that comes from the same Let’s Stay Home stamp set.

That’s all for today! Hope this cute card will inspire you! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Hugs,
Tatiana

Mermazing Watercolor Card (ft. Purple Onion Designs)

Hello and welcome!!!

I’ve popped in with a simple watercolor card featuring again new Under The Sea Collection of rubber stamps from Purple Onion Designs illustrated by super talented Shari Bresciani!

Today’s card is quite simple and involve only some basic watercoloring. To start, I stamped on a piece of Fabriano Extra White Hot Pressed Watercolor paper all the images I needed for my under the sea scene using VersaFine Onyx Black ink since it’s waterproof. I fussy cut all the images (except of the big background stamp) with the sharp small scissors and then colored all the elements with regular watercolors. I like to use my customized palette where I gathered together my favorite watercolors from Winsor & Newton, Schmincke and Daniel Smith brands. It’s hard to keep track of all the exact colors that I used on this project since I’m mixing some of them together to achieve a desirable shade.

And here’s the complete list of all the stamps used on this project:
Ocean Floor
Mermaid
Branch Coral Set
Ocean Rocks with Algae
Saltwater Fish Set
Seaweed, Tubes & Stripe Coral Set
Seashells & Starfish
Sea-timents (sentiment) Set

The background was framed with a faux stitched rectangle die from SugarPea Designs Card Front Elements 3 SugarCut since this die has the same exact measures as an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). I glued some elements directly to the backgroung while the others were popped on a foam tape for a fun dimensional look. The sentiment from the matching Sea-timents Set was simply heat embossed on a narrow strip of a black cardstock and then added to the card.

Hope you like this cute card and new amazing stamps from the Purple Onion Designs’ Under The Sea Collection!

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
