Hello there, for a long while now I have loved Purple Onion Designs stamps, mainly the Stacey Yucula ones. Well, after a lot of looking, I finally made an order and got a few of them. This one is called Fawn, isn't he just adorable?
I first took a piece of Fabriano Classico 5 paper and stamped Fawn on to it using Archival Ink. I then coloured him using Polychromos pencils. The sentiment, from the Clearly Besotted Many Mini Messages set, was stamped beside fawn using the same black ink. I then cut this out using the ME Femme Frames rectangle die.
I then took a SSS Lavender A2 card base and ran this through my Cuttlebug with the PTI Peace Be Still Impression Plate. The stamped panel was then added on top with foam sheet. To finish off, I added a little Wink of Stella to the scarf, white gel pen to Fawn's cheeks and Glossy Accents to the berries on the Mistletoe.

Super cute - I love it with the purple background and beautifully coloured. I need to try out some watercolour card with coloured pencils! Obviously I'll have to buy the Polychromos pencils first ;) xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so incredibly sweet, and your colouring is perfect! Dotty. xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a super, super cute card! Love to see you using a POD stamp. I can't get enough of them myself. ;o) Your coloring is fantastic and the color combination you use is absolutely wonderful.

ReplyDeletelovely CAS card - what did you mount the stamp onto ? POD are such lovely designs - looking forward to seeing all your new stamps on your cards
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, I use black EZ Mount foam. I am not sure if it is still available though, I bought it a long time ago. It is half the thickness of regular EZ Mount. I have heard Peel & Stick is great too. I hope that helps :)
DeleteI use Peel and Stick and it is amazing, stays sticky forever if you replace the clear sheet over your acrylic block to protect it between uses x x
Deletethanks for replying -I will look into it - I saw on POD website they were recommending something and wondered if thats what you had used -love POD stacey designs tooxx

ps you do know that mistletoe berries are white, don't you?? I've seen a lot of Americans colouring them in red too!!!
Yes, of course! Thank you! I am not sure what I was thinking when colouring it in, I think I was thinking it was holly! Thanks so much for reminding me, Kathleen xx
