purple onion sale

IMG_9880

Hello Friends, How are you today? Our house is feeling awfully quiet because we just took our daughter back to college yesterday. I tell ya’ stamping and blogging is such a great way to keep the ole mind busy. I am thinking that you already know that?  I am sharing this card today because Purple Onion Designs is having a great Anniversary 25% off sale!  Purple Onion has some of the sweetest images that are so fun to create little scenes with. (PO stamps are unmounted.  Some people mount them before stamping… I just gingerly stamp away ever so carefully. )

There are a few little details on this card that I want to share. I stamped, cut & colored another dress, flipped up the bottom & glued it down just at the waistline. Wink of Stella was added only to the purple accents, parts of the leaves & a portion to the “flower”.

Lots of white dot action with the only gel pen that works lol. I also added a “halo” with a grey marker around the image. Once I finished coloring I added some distress ink carefully around the image. (I was to lazy to mask the image… if your inking tool is dry but, has leftover distress ink on it, this look is easier to achieve.)

Have a great weekend and in case you missed it there is still time for the Simon Card Kit GIVEAWAY here.

Your visit and comments are always appreciated (and I am always happy with a visit only… I know your time is very valuable 🙂 . Hugs, Kathy

    What adorable images. You’ve, once again, made them come alive with your immeasurable coloring skills. Just adore the sweet little details you’ve added. You’ll have to excuse me now…heading to Purple Onion for some retail therapy.

    Another reason I’m so happy to sub…I saw this on IG and hadn’t noticed the little ears popping off the edge of the card on my little phone screen!! You add so many perfect little touches to your cards, #copicsister – love you!

    I’m with you on the merits of the Signo Uniball white pen… Love the detail you created around the blown away seeds… Give such a sense of movement.

    An absolutely adorable card! If that isn’t the cuttest mousie I’ve ever seen. Beautifully colored as always and I love the glitter. Beautiful shading. I love the look of the seeds being blown from the flower. So sweet.

    My spouse and I stumbled over here from a different web address and thought I may as well check things out.

    I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward
    to looking into your web page again.

    Adorable card and wonderful colouring and use of the white gel pen. I have used Aleene’s Tack It over and Over on the back of rubber mounted stamps. You apply, let it dry and then you have a temporary adhesive sticky back that you can use over and over with out having to mount it to a foam pad. I then store these stamps in a old CD case. http://www.amazon.com/Aleenes-Tack-It-Over-4oz/dp/B00178QQ84
    This works for me!
