Purple Onion Designs is having a birthday sale (19 years, wow!) this week and I’ve been asked to guest design for it! For today’s card I’ve gone with bolder, darker colours than I usually do, because they make for great cards too!
I have masked together three stamps for the little scene (Tree Line, Dylan, and Jessie) and used the Everyday Blurbs sentiment to go with!
This Tiddly Inks stamp was a lot of fun to colour up! It’s not often I go for an ombre look, but I simply had to for this dress! A think matching border of cardstock and and a sentiment to compliment instead of stealing focus were my go-to tricks this time!
It’s time to mix things up a little and show you a simple wedding card! They layout is simple, I’ve coloured up a huge tree with pink leaves to go with and given the sky a bit of a gradient feel to soften it up a little. The stamp is Love Swing by Lili of the Valley!
I’ve used the massive sunflower stamp from Simon Says Stamp to make two matching cards. First I coloured up the whole panel before I then split it into two pieces to make mini-slimline cards. One with a thank you die as a sentiment and the other with a stamped thank you. It was fun to make a matching pair like this, so I might do it again soon!
The Dragon Holding Wool stamp was the perfect stamp for a birthday card for a co-worker of mine, so of course I had to colour it up! Yarn can be a bit fiddly to colour up, but it’s quite rewarding when it’s all done!
