<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For this card, I've used a background stamp (Front Door) from previous winter's collection ~ '<a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/twas-the-night-before-christmas-new/" target="_blank">Twas the night before Christmas</a>. And to make it the card more vibrant, I decided to colour it mainly in red, to have a more Christmas~y feel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-douglas-cheering-winter-raccoon/" target="_blank">Douglas</a> the raccoon is having a great time in the snow celebrating the Christmas season! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All images are stamped using my favourite Copic friendly ink pad, Memento in Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copic markers. The snow is created using <a href="https://rangerink.com/collections/ranger-enamel-accents" target="_blank">Ranger Enamel Accent in Glacier white</a>. You can always use <a href="https://www.gellyroll.com/" target="_blank">Sakura Gelly roll gel pen</a> in white, but I prefer the enamel accents as it gives a little pop-up 3D effect after it dries. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-douglas-cheering-winter-raccoon/" target="_blank">Douglas</a> is one of my fave critter from the <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/pine-cone-trail-new-2019/" target="_blank">Pine Cone Trail</a>, I love how he lifts up his hands to embrace the occasion!</div>

It didn't take too long for me to make another card from my last one! Yay (:<br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing another card that I've made from the charity bundle stamp set that Purple Onion Designs have put up for sale for the Bahamas Hurricane Dorian Disaster Relief. <br />
<br />
And by the way, did you participate in my first giveaway at my Instagram page? Never mind if you haven't, just look out for the next one then, which I hope will be soon!<br />

I created the sunny background using <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/sunrise-radiating-rays-stencil?_pos=33&_sid=1bee5bc66&_ss=r" target="_blank">Sunrise radiating rays stencil</a> from <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">My Favourite Things</a> and blended with Distress oxide ink in Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey. I love how the vibrant orange that the oxide inks give and how smooth they go on the cardstock.<br />
<br />
Again I created the sandy beach using the same method as I did for the last card and for this time I added in the blue sea using the sea Tide stamp, blending Distress oxide ink in colour Salty Ocean.<br />

All images are coloured using Copic markers and then I fussy cut the images using my favourite <a href="https://www.amazon.com/EK-Success-EKCB01-Precision-Scissors/dp/B0006842S2/ref=pd_sbs_201_img_0/131-6640842-2209750?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0006842S2&pd_rd_r=7ca8ee47-ed04-4f94-a365-ba2c35aa3b10&pd_rd_w=Ymk0m&pd_rd_wg=RtR58&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=GN6H7HQKWV4W6ZW3HF2M&psc=1&refRID=GN6H7HQKWV4W6ZW3HF2M" target="_blank">EK Success Cutter Bee precision scissors</a>. And as usual, I added some little 'dots' just at the sentiment to make them look like the little air bubbles for the added fun! Just got to use my bottles of <a href="https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/nuvo-drop-collection" target="_blank">Nuvo Drops</a>!<br />

<br />
I've been a little under the weather a couple of weeks back and also I guess I've kind of lost my crafting mojo for a bit! I haven't been doing any crafting for more than 3 weeks!<br />
<br />
But the card that I'll be sharing today, it took me less than 4 hours to create! Not that it's impossible to make a card in 4 hours but I usually take a day or two to make one that I'm happy with. But to make it in 4 hours, all it took was a bit of motivation, for a great cause. <br />
<br />
Now for a limited time only, till 15 September 2019, this Sunday to be exact, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/" target="_blank">Purple Onion Designs </a>has put up a stamp bundle of 13 stamps with 15 individual images will be going at USD35.00. <span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; display: inline; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">This set of stamps has been discounted almost 50% with all proceeds going to charities helping in the relief effort. Exact details can be found at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PSAJyAoFd/" target="_blank">IG page of Purple Onion Designs</a>.</span><br />
<br />
In support of the generous contribution from <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/" target="_blank">Purple Onion Designs</a> and to do my part, I will be purchasing a set too and host a GIVEAWAY at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sugarbea/" target="_blank">my Instagram page</a> for officially reaching 2,000 followers, to thank all my friends for supporting my Instagram page.<br />
<br />
And here is the card that I've put up in less than 4 hours (:<br />

All the 6 stamps that I've used for this card are from the bundle stamp set. You can create cards of different occasions for friends of all ages with all the stamps in the bundle. Who doesn't like beach, palm tree and some cute critters? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The scene of this card is a reminiscent of the beautiful sandy beaches and clear blue sky of the Bahamas coastline. I created the sandy beach by using Distress Oxide ink in Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade and Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap. I added some random dark brown and black 'dots' with some of my Copic markers and added some white ones with my white gel marker, to make it look like a real sandy beach. A few small little sequins added a little 'bling' as seashells :)</div>
<br />
I also blended some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass to create the blue sky.<br />
<br />
To make Smokey and Buddy look a little more fun, I added some stripes on Smokey and some patches on Buddy. All images are coloured using Copic markers.<br />

I initially wanted the card to have more of a subtle colours but I went overboard with the blending of the distress inks on the background of the card. With the bright yellow sunflowers, I guess the card turned out quite alright!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All the images are stamped with my favourite Memento Ink in black tuxedo and digitally cut out using my Silhouette Cameo. To add a little more fun details, I used a embossing folder for the frame to create the little polka dots and also added some sequins to the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To make Tucker the main attraction of the card, I put a piece of foam tape and adhere the cute little snail right in the middle of all the bright cheery sunflowers. </div>

Hello Friends (:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might have realized that I have a new theme for my blog! I hope you like the new theme. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last time when I logged in to my blog I realized the Photobucket logo was all over my page. Being technically challenged I didn't know what just happened but I did know how to google and look for answers. The google results didn't yield much information but I gather it must be due to some image hosting rights and stuff and so I had to do something about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, to cut the story short. I decided to change the theme of my blog as it seems to be the easy way out. After searching the web for some free themes, nothing really caught my fancy. And then I venture into Etsy and found some affordable themes and so I picked this one that's colourful and feminine! Colourful to suit the title of my blog ~ Me and my colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And to celebrate the new look, I'm sharing a piece of good news and a new card!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes! The anniversary sale of Purple Onion Design is here again! To celebrate their 16th anniversary (wow! 16 years!), all stamps will be 25% off! No discount code is needed as discounted prices will be reflected in the shopping cart. </div>

I love how this card turned out with the sun rays shining on Scarecrow's happy face (: The sun rays from the stencil really lit up his face and the corn stalks at the background just added a little more fun to card. The little birdie on Scarecrow seems to be shutting its eyes to the overwhelming sunrays (hahaha!) </div>

I then used Sunrise Radiating Rays stencil from My Favorite Things and blended distress inks in Scattered Straws and Dried Marigold to create the sun and the sun rays. Lastly, I stamped on the cornstalks at the background.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To add some greens to the card, I blended a multimedia card stock with some green distress ink and then I used my Fiskar grass puncher to create the grassy border at the bottom. I then stamped the sentiment ~ sending sun-filled wishes in Versafine Pigment ink in Onxy Black. I like how crisp and detailed the sentiment turned out. To make it stand out a little more, I poured some clear embossing powder over the sentiment and heat set it with my heat embossing tool gun to give the sentiment an extra shine.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To complete the card, I put some foam adhesive and adhere Scarecrow to it. And not forgetting that I added a few drops of Gloss Nuvo Drops in Ripened Pumpkin for the extra fun element! Ok to be honest, I have LOTS of bottles of the Nuvo Drops so I have to find ways to use them! :P Somehow the drops reminds me of orange flavoured candy drops!</div>

Stamps used: <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-dusty-mouse-with-ball/" target="_blank">Dusty</a>, <a href="https://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/cart.php?suggest=16d7cae3-be2a-4a25-b052-fc039534ef96" target="_blank">Game booth</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-fair-accessories/" target="_blank">Fair accessories</a>, <a href="https://purpleoniondesigns.typepad.com/Fairgrounds%20Background/" target="_blank">Fairgrounds background</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/carnival-fair-blurbs/" target="_blank">Carnival/Fair Blurbs</a> and <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/carnival-fair-marquee-sentiments/" target="_blank">Carnival/Fair Marquee set</a>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this card, I wanted to make the Game booth the main attraction so I kept the colours of the Fairgrounds background a little more subtle. Firstly, I stamped Game booth on my fave mixed media paper from Daler Rowney and then masked it with Inkadinkado Stamping mask paper and then I stamped on the Fairgrounds background.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I gave the black ink to some time to sink into the mixed media paper before I start to blend in some distress ink for the blue sky of Fairgrounds background. Using Neenah Classic solar white paper, I stamped the little barrel from Fair accessories and also Dusty (the cute little mouse holding the ball) and used my Silhouette Cameo PixScan function to have them electronically cut out. Alternatively, you can also fussy cut the images. I coloured all images using Copic markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the final touch, I used one of the sentiment from the Carnival/Fair Marquee set that is just perfect for the scene. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you like the card that I've made using these new images from Sunny Meadow Fair. For more amazing cards, please head over <a href="https://purpleoniondesigns.typepad.com/" target="_blank">here</a> to see what the design team has put up and I'm sure you will be truly inspired!</div>

Christmas is near, counting down to 23 days to be precise!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This would probably be my last post for the year as we prepare for Christmas holidays and celebrations! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before I go off for the celebration, here is one last card I would like to share on my blog today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And here is Warmest Wishes from <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-curly-winter-pig/" target="_blank">Curly</a>.</div>

I blended some distress inks for the background to create a night sky and the greenish ground with some of my favourite distress ink blending. And I added (again) the enamel dots from Ranger accents to create the falling snow. There are many ways to mimic the snowy sky of winter but I particularly love how the enamel dots will give a slight 3D effects to the card.</div>

You may ponder why the <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-cocoa-stand/" target="_blank">Cocoa Stand</a> image has such a detail cut with the inside of the stamped image. I used the PixScan function from Silhouette Cameo software to help with the cutting and I particularly love this function as it gives a more detailed cutting that the Brother ScanNCut machine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

I coloured <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-curly-winter-pig/" target="_blank">Curly</a> and the <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-cocoa-stand/" target="_blank">Cocoa Stand</a> with my Copic markers and adhere to the card base with some foam dots. And to finish off the card, I added a very apt sentiment from the Sweetest Season sentiment set ~ Warmest Wishes! With every cup of hot cocoa served from the <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-cocoa-stand/" target="_blank">Cocoa Stand</a>, it comes with the warmest wishes from <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-curly-winter-pig/" target="_blank">Curly</a>!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I coloured all the images with Copic markers and I blended some distress inks on the card stocks for the background of the shaker tags. The most fun part of making shaker tags is choosing the colours of "shaking ingredients" meaning the beads, sequins and glittering stuff for the tags (: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Using <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/die-namics/tags/die-namics-tag-builder-blueprints-6" target="_blank">My Favorite Things Die-namics Tag Builder Blueprint 6</a>, it's really easy to put the tags together. They even come with the right <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/circle-shaker-pouches" target="_blank">circle shaker pouches</a> that is hassle-free!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To add more colours to the shaker tags, I coloured some branches from Holly branch and I cut the portion of the image that I want to attach to each tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Adding these shaker tags to your Christmas gift wrappings will definitely bring joy to the receiver with the added fun element!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been awhile since I last made a shaker card and it's always nice to make one for Christmas season. I picked sequins and beads with colours that resembles the snow so that it compliments the scene. So now you know why it's always fun to make shaker cards for Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I stamped the images of <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-snowflake-snowman-with-top-hat-candy-cane/" target="_blank">Snowflake</a>, and that one tree from snowy tree stamp, and farm horizon with my favourite Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colour them with my Copic markers. I also blended lightly some distress ink on the background of the farm horizon to have a nice blue winter sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the base card stock, if you can see at the bottom left corner, there's a tint of light orange and some specks of gold glitter just to make the whole card look a little more colourful and Christmas~y feel (:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of a rectangular normal frame, I used scallop frame from <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/die-wonky-scalloped-frames-elle-ments/" target="_blank">Avery Elle Wonky Scalloped frames elle-ments</a>.</div>

<i><b>Have a magical holiday season</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stamps used: <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-ace-bunny-with-top-hat/" target="_blank">Ace</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-pepper-winter-bunny-with-gift/" target="_blank">Pepper</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-farm-horizon/" target="_blank">Farm Horizon</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-snowflake-grove-sentiment-set/" target="_blank">Snowflake Grove sentiment set</a>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To create the snowy farm scene, I stamped <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-farm-horizon/" target="_blank">Farm Horizon</a> with my favourite black ink, Memento in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tsukineko-ME000900-Full-Size-Memento-Resistant/dp/B002GB237E" target="_blank">Tuxedo black</a>. I blended some distress ink to create the blue dark sky resembling nightfall and I coloured the rest of the images with my <a href="https://www.copicmarker.com/" target="_blank">Copic</a> markers. Again I used <a href="https://rangerink.com/?product=ranger-enamel-accents" target="_blank">Ranger enamel accent</a> in white glacier to add the random dots to create the falling snow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Notice how the little bumps formed by the <a href="https://rangerink.com/?product=ranger-enamel-accents" target="_blank">Ranger enamel accents</a> really added some dimensional details to the card, making it a little more interesting! </div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again I used Memento ink in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tsukineko-ME000900-Full-Size-Memento-Resistant/dp/B002GB237E" target="_blank">Tuxedo Black</a> and stamped<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span>Ace and <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-pepper-winter-bunny-with-gift/" target="_blank">Pepper</a> on some <a href="https://www.copicmarker.com/" target="_blank">Copic</a> friendly cardstock and then I used the <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/pixscan" target="_blank">PixScan function</a> from my <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/cameo-color-series" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a> to have them cut out nicely and have them coloured with my <a href="https://www.copicmarker.com/" target="_blank">Copic</a> markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next, I cut the top and bottom panels with some cardstocks and added some dotted details at the edge using <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/search?type=product&q=borders+die" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn's Border die</a> for the added details, stamped the <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-snowflake-grove-sentiment-set/" target="_blank">sentiment</a> on the lower panel and the card the almost done!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, I adhere the top and lower panels for the card with <a href="http://mykokuyo.com/products/stationery/dotliner-refill/dotliner-power-10mmx10m-permanent" target="_blank">Kokuyo Dot liner</a>, and <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-ace-bunny-with-top-hat/" target="_blank">Ace</a> and <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-pepper-winter-bunny-with-gift/" target="_blank">Pepper</a> with some foam dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I hope you like the card that I've shared today.

The idea of <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-maggie-winter-mouse-with-open-arms/" target="_blank">Maggie</a> sitting on top of the stack of<a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-hay-bale/" target="_blank"> hay bale</a> was from a random stamping fun (what I usually do when I explore new stamps) and when I saw how cute it was for her to be sitting on the top on the stack of <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-hay-bale/" target="_blank">hay bale</a>, with her arms wide open embracing the falling snow, I really love how the whole scene look! Perfect expression for celebrating the season!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I stamped a couple of <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-hay-bale/" target="_blank">hay bale</a> on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Inkadinkado-62-01022-Stamping-Mask-Paper/dp/B003QKDLRU" target="_blank">Inkadinkado stamping mask paper</a> and then cut them out for the mask stamping technique to achieve the whole image. Here is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIK-i6uorXI" target="_blank">tutorial</a> for the mask stamping to share.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For the scene of the snowing farm, I stamped <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-farm-horizon/" target="_blank">farm horizon</a> on a water colour cardstock with my favourite ink, Black Tuxedo from Memento. I did some light blending using distress inks in chipped sapphire (for the sky) and iced spruce (for the snowy ground). I wanted the image of <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-maggie-winter-mouse-with-open-arms/" target="_blank">Maggie</a> and the <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-hay-bale/" target="_blank">hay bale</a> to pop so I keep the rest of the colouring subtle except for the barn house. Somehow the barn house looks prettier in red! </div>

To create the scene of the falling snow, I added little dots of Ranger enamel accents in Glacier white. I simply love how it gives the dimensional look when it dries, making the snow fall looking more realistic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
No card is complete without sentiment and I find "Celebrate the season" is just the right one for this card.</div>

<span style="color: black;">Sometimes a treat bag or a gift box just look a little to simple? That's how I feel when I wanted to pack a gift for a friend on her birthday.... and so I decided to make it look a little more fancy!</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">The kraft paper treat bag is being cut out using my <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a>. I then stamped the images with <a href="http://www.tsukineko.co.jp/english/detail/versafine/index.html" target="_blank">Versafine Onyx Black ink</a> and colour them with <a href="http://www.fabercastell.com/art-and-graphic/artist-products/polychromos-artists-colour-pencils" target="_blank">Fabre Castell polychromo</a> colour pencils. I stamped the image of Rosie first, and then cover it up securely with some <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Inkadinkado-STAMPING-MASK-PAPER-Dimensional-Crafting-62-01022-24882" target="_blank">mask stamping paper</a>.

<span style="color: black;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">I also made a small tag to go along with the bag so that I can write a short message and also to add on a sentiment to make it look a little more fun (:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colouring with the polychromo colour pencils didn't start off well for me, but it definitely got better after watching some very informative tutorials on the YouTube! My colouring is far from perfect but practice definitely helps loads!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if it's just a normal plain paper bag, all these stamping and colouring can even be done. Just add a touch of stamping and colouring, or perhaps, if you have a little more time, make a gift tag and attach along, and the treat bag will look so much more interesting and lovely for a special occasion!</div>

Stamps used: <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-tiered-cake/" target="_blank"> Tiered cake</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/kindness-sentiment-set-17-sentiments/" target="_blank">Kindness Sentiment set</a>.</div>
<br />
The background with the <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/kindness-sentiment-set-17-sentiments/" target="_blank">Happy Birthday sentiment</a> was created by blending distress inks with the distress ink blender and a random splats of glitter inks from the <a href="https://www.paperinkarts.com/fint12.html" target="_blank">Finetec pearl colors ink palette</a>. This technique was used in one of my previous card ~ <a href="http://sugarbeacolours.blogspot.com/2018/07/15th-anniversary-sale-at-purple-onion.html" target="_blank">Birthday Wishes</a>, which was posted earlier. <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to keep the tiered cake as the main focus so I kept everything else simple and clean. I stamped the image with my favourite <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tsukineko-MEMENTO-TUXEDO-BLACK-Full-Size-Ink-Pad-me-900-12859" target="_blank">Memento ink in black tuxedo</a> and coloured it with Copic markers. I also added some <a href="https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/glitter-drops/products/glitter-drops-silver-moondust-756n" target="_blank">Nuvo glitter drops in Silver Moondust</a> to give more dimension and fun to the cake. I really love how the <a href="https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/nuvo-drop-collection" target="_blank">Nuvo drop</a> hold its shape after it's dried! It really gives the card lots of bling!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next, I die cut a dainty scallop lace border from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spellbinders-S5-182-Borderabilities-Scalloped-Templates/dp/B00AYTRGYU/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1532168333&sr=1-4&keywords=spellbinders+border" target="_blank">Spellbinders borderabilities A2 scallop border die templates</a> and adhered it at the bottom of the card to make it look more dainty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the card is complete!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you like the card I've shared today (: The sales will end on 22 July so be sure to get your favourite stamps from <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/" target="_blank">Purple Onion Designs</a> before the sales end to enjoy the saving of 25% savings!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I randomly stamped different images of the envelopes with <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Ranger-Archival-Ink-Pad-JET-BLACK-AIP31468-33967?currency=USD" target="_blank">Ranger archival ink pad in jet black</a> over my favourite mixed media paper from <a href="http://www.daler-rowney.com/en/content/mixed-media-0" target="_blank">Daler Rowney</a> and coloured them with <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Zig-CLEAN-COLOR-36-SET-Real-Brush-RB6000AT36V-RB6000AT36V" target="_blank">Zig colour real brush</a>. The sentiment was stamped in <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Versamark-WATERMARK-Rubber-Stamp-Emboss-Chalk-Resist-INK-PAD-VM-001-10213?currency=USD" target="_blank">Versamark embossing ink</a> and heat set with embossing powder from<a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product?id=118562&currency=USD" target="_blank"> WOW embossing powder in white</a> on a black card stock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The images were coloured unevenly on purpose as I was trying to achieve an abstract and artistic look :P And I also wanted to give the card a more modern feel, something different from what I would usually do. Lastly, I fussy cut out a little envelop to adhere just next to the sentiment to add on a little cuteness to the card. We all like a little cuteness don't we? :D</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Stamps used: <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-floral-spray/" target="_blank">Floral spray</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/kindness-sentiment-set-17-sentiments/" target="_blank">Kindness sentiment</a>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was totally excited to work with Floral spray as I've never made any projects with floral stamps. The <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-floral-spray/" target="_blank">floral spray </a>has to be the main focus of the card and so I try my best to keep the rest of the design on the card to be subtle and simple.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I coloured <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-floral-spray/" target="_blank">floral spray</a> with Copic markers. For the background, I blended some distress inks in mustard seed, squeezed lemon and dried marigold with a ink blender. I also did some random ink splats using a small hard brush with some shimmer ink from the <a href="https://www.paperinkarts.com/fint12.html" target="_blank">Finetec pearl colours ink palette</a>.</span></div>

Hello! Today I'll be sharing another card that I've made using the 3 images from the new <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/spread-kindness-new/" target="_blank">Spread Kindness </a>collection from <a href="http://www.staceyyacula.com/" target="_blank">Stacey Yacula</a>, which is now available at <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/" target="_blank">Purple Onion Designs.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you seen the<a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/new-stamps/" target="_blank"> new collection</a> already? If not, it's time to hop over to the <a href="http://www.purpleoniondesigns.typepad.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> and <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/" target="_blank">website</a> to take a look! (: <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/spread-kindness-new/" target="_blank">Spread Kindness</a> collection is a tad different from the past collections as it offers traditional images and florals plus the usual lovable critters. The traditional images can be used on it's own and also can be pair up together with the lovable critters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I stamped <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-flynt-boy-fairy/" target="_blank">Flynt</a> and <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-goldie-girl-fairy/" target="_blank">Goldie</a> with <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tsukineko-MEMENTO-TUXEDO-BLACK-Full-Size-Ink-Pad-me-900-12859" target="_blank">Memento ink in Black Tuxedo</a> and coloured them with my favourite <a href="https://www.copicmarker.com/" target="_blank">Copic</a> markers. The background, with the dreamy colours of bubbles, is created using various colours of distress inks and the stencil, basic shapes - <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/supplies/stencils/stencil-basic-shapes-circles" target="_blank">Circles</a> from <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite Things</a>. I recently discovered how versatile and easy it is to use stencils to create a background, it's really fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted a whimsical feel to the card and so I added some puffy clouds using the <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/borders/products/puffy-cloud-borders" target="_blank">Puffy Clouds border </a>from <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn</a> to the top and bottom of the card to also give it a bit of dimension.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, I picked some sequins of my favourite colours and added them near the corners of the card.</div>

Stamps used: <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-eve-sleeping-mouse/" target="_blank">Eve</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-twinkling-stars/" target="_blank">Twinkling Stars</a>, <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/essential-thoughts-sentiment-set/" target="_blank">Essential Thoughts Sentiment set</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eve is one my favourite stamp from the Spread Kindness collection as she makes me think of sweet dreams in a good night's sleep. Therefore, I matched the sentiment of "May All Your Dreams Come True" for the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dreamy night clouds background was created using the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/stencil-mini-cloud-edges" target="_blank">Mini Cloud stencil</a> from My Favorite Things and a light blend of distress ink in Chipped Sapphire with the ink blender. I coloured Eve and Twinkling Stars with Copic markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To replicate the stars in the night sky, I added some clear and blue sequins, and blue stars for that extra shine.</div>

<br />
Today I'm sharing with you a card I made for the <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/challenges/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-28-sketch" target="_blank">Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #28</a>. It's been quite a while since I last participated in one and I so regret that I didn't make it in time to play along for <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/announcement/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-27-3d-cards" target="_blank">challenge #27</a> which is my favourite ~ 3D card! :'(<br />
<br />
Looking at the fabulous projects that were entered into the previous challenge, I was totally in awe and inspired! So I make it a point this time to participate in challenge #28! Yay! I made it!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/challenges/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-28-sketch" target="_blank">For challenge #28</a>, it's a sketch!<br />

<br />
And here's the card I created.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I picked the stamp set <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/products/blue-skies" target="_blank">Blue Skies</a> as it's one of my favourite set of stamps from <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/all-products-a-to-z" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn</a>! But then I have lots of stamp sets from Lawn Fawn that's my favourite! <br />
<br />
I wanted to keep the colours of my card subtle and soft, so I kept the background white so that the smaller hot air balloon can be the main focus. And then I gave the front of my card a soft cloudy look with a blend of distress ink in <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tsukineko-MEMENTO-TUXEDO-BLACK-Full-Size-Ink-Pad-me-900-12859" target="_blank">Tumbled Glass</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
All the images are coloured with <a href="https://www.copicmarker.com/" target="_blank">Copic</a> markers and stamped with <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tsukineko-MEMENTO-TUXEDO-BLACK-Full-Size-Ink-Pad-me-900-12859" target="_blank">Memento Tuxedo Black ink</a>. I also used some foam adhesive to adhere the bigger hot air balloon to give it a little 3d effect.<br />
<br />
I hope you like the card I created today! <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/challenges/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-28-sketch" target="_blank">Lawn Fawnatics challenge #28</a> is open till 20 May so there's still time to join in the fun! And that's all for now, thank you for stopping by! (:<br />

Finally I have time to blog on a new card I created with <a href="http://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/" target="_blank">Purple Onion Designs</a> cute critters! Sorry for the lack of posts, as sometimes I prefer to do quick posts at my Instagram account, which I find it easier!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is the card I've created.</div>

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sentiment, HOPE TO SEE YOU real soon is from the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_1229319868">Journey sentiment set.</a></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HOPE TO SEE YOU real soon is created as a farewell card or a goodbye card in mind. It's like a "from all of us" card that could be for a co-worker leaving the company, or a friend leaving the country etc etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The "wefie" in the centre of the card is created using the Lawn Fawn die set <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/products/say-cheese-lawn-cuts" target="_blank">Say cheese. </a>There's no particular die used for the smaller polaroid. What I did was just cut out some rectangular shapes of card stock, used a square die from a set of nesting square dies to cut the border and adjusted the length accordingly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJG0XyjhCvoVq-JZdA28vGEjXdyt0OMjkCMqh8rxWn26rSlAF3JLvNYiZCssU7FVDEuYRpNloqlCimjxRf0gaIn7RqRDr9rCK7DhmIIB6DMPu2BSLtg1BR4s2aY0ZMZFdLuniydJvP-wQH/s1600/HTSYS%257E2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJG0XyjhCvoVq-JZdA28vGEjXdyt0OMjkCMqh8rxWn26rSlAF3JLvNYiZCssU7FVDEuYRpNloqlCimjxRf0gaIn7RqRDr9rCK7DhmIIB6DMPu2BSLtg1BR4s2aY0ZMZFdLuniydJvP-wQH/s400/HTSYS%257E2.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I then arrange the smaller polaroid to the way I like and trim off the corners that's protruding from the 4.25"x 5.5" cardstock and adhere the "wefie" polaroid last.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To give the base cardstock a light hint of orange, I blended some distress ink in <a href="https://rangerink.com/?product=tim-holtz-distress-ink-minis-aug" target="_blank">dried marigold</a> with the blending tool. All images are coloured using <a href="https://www.copicmarker.com/" target="_blank">Copic </a>markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's all for now and I hope you like what I've shared today. I'm thinking of creating another 3D project next...maybe. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok that's all for today! Go make more cards now! (:</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Happy 2018! Sorry for the lack of post as I took a real long break from colouring and paper crafting! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to thank everyone who has stopped by my blog during the blog hop! Never has my blog had so many visitors! I'm sure the winners have benefited greatly from the free classes!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Start of a new year is always a little sluggish for me. After all the festive celebrations, it's hard to get the crafting mojo back again! But I'm so happy that I'm able to complete a 3d project yesterday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This 3d box featuring a petal fold closure is cut file from the <a href="https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette Design store</a> by Lori Whitlock (Design ID #<span itemprop="mpn">20742)</span> and I had it cut out on a Kraft paper using my <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/machines/cameo" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a> cutting machine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There's quite a bit of masked stamping on this box as the layout of the stamps are all different on four sides. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like a similar project I did during Christmas <i>(oops, I didn't do a blog post on that but you can find it on my Instagram!)</i> I used polychromo colour pencils to colour the images. I was clueless how the colour pencils work but I'm so glad for the tutorials I found on YouTube and finally figure how to use them. It's not perfect colouring but at least it's the way I like it (: </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is a particular YouTube <a href="https://youtu.be/IkUzDXCIAIs" target="_blank">tutorial</a> by <a href="http://just-one-more-card.com/" target="_blank">Julia Altermann</a> that I find exceptionally helpful and I'm grateful for crafters like her to share the know-how selflessly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On top of the news of the sales, design team members and friends of Purple Onion Designs has come together with a surprise blog hop!

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have notice, I've omitted the frame and the glass of milk from Dear Santa and stamped it right in the centre of a die cut stock card using Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Circle Windows from <span id="goog_2103311753"></span><a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/die-namics/frames-windows/die-namics-ljd-jumbo-peek-a-boo-circle-windows" target="_blank">My Favorite Thing.<span id="goog_2103311754"></span></a> I also blended a little distress ink in dried marigold to add a little warmth to the card.

The background of the card is blended with distress inks and all images are coloured using Copic markers. I really enjoyed colouring Sugar Plum as it's such a cute image, looking so comfy in the armchair! I added the wood logs to balance out the card and also to add a little more fun to the fireplace.</div>

All the stamps of this card are coloured with Copic markers and the background blended with distress inks. I also used Ranger white enamel accents to make the little drops of white dots in the background for a snow fall effect on the card. I love how it adds the 3D dots effects!</div>
