More Purple Onion and lots of Copic coloring

Hello Friends, I have a quick post to share with you today with this card from Purple Onion Designs. You can purchase the stamps, see more designs and get all of the details here.  

Lots of Copic coloring and shading on this card. I added white dots with a gel pen and with enamel accents.  I have mentioned  before that I found a new kraft paper that I am in love with by Neenah.  The patterned paper is Basic Grey but, I don't have the name of the paper..sorry. Have a good week and I am grateful for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

TWO Catalog Cards for Penny Black 2012

Hello Friends, This week I will share the cards that I was fortunate enough to create with Penny Black's beautiful new stamps. They are available in the stores so check your local shops or your favorite stores.

I love the artistic, hand drawn look to these beautiful yet whimsical stamps. 

I used Copic markers to color my images. I would like to point out a few things on the background in the frame and outside the frame. Around the image I used a soft pink to add some highlights then I went nuts with some white dots with a gel pen for added interest.
This background was used on both cards and stamped with different inks and colored, and Glossy Accents added to the center.  

I always say it's the girlfriends in life that helps me through the rough patches. Don't get me wrong I love my husband but, girls have a different spin on things. This stamp is perfect for those special gal friends in your life. 

I love to add more flounce to the skirts. So fun!
I forgot to mention in this Lily Pad post for the color challenge that.... Purple Onion is giving away a $25.00 gift certificate to a lucky participant in the color challenge. Thanks for your visit and see you soon. Hugs, Kathy

Hello Sweet Friends,How are you? I am happy to bring you two cards that are being featured on The Penny Black Blog today. The card on the right is the more simple version of my first card using this brushstroke background stamp from Penny Black. For the card on the left I stamped the "Hearts All Over" with StazOn Teal Blue on white card-stock. I added more color to the hearts by coloring them with Copic markers.

Five coats of Glossy Accents we applied to four of the hearts (after coloring all of the hearts). You must wait for each coat to dry completely before adding the next layer so plan ahead :) 
When you are satisfied with your hearts dimension add a final layer of Crackle Accents.
I hope you get a chance to try this. The dimension is so cool with the multi layers. 

The background sentiment is from this transparent set & was stamped with this ink, then embossed with Clear Embossing powder. (The idea was for the words on the background card stock to be shinny like the hearts on the front.) 

Using a spellbinder circle I die cut a hole on scrap paper that fit my card base. Stamp on top of the open area with this ink centering one of the hearts in the open area. After the ink dries color the center heart and the area around the heart. Apply Crackle Accents to the heart and let dry. (On this card I skipped the multi layers so it was super fast to create.) Don't forget to stamp your sentiment with the teal ink. 

I was tempted to rub the hearts with some red ink to stain the cracks but, didn't want to make them to prominent. I hope you are enjoying seeing two cards on each post and I say it all the time but, I mean it each time too. Thanks so much for your visit. Hugs, Kathy
