Greetings! I am excited to be guesting with Purple Onion Designs for their new release! The new designs are by artist Stacy Yacula, and the card I'm sharing today was created with the Happy Trails Collection. There are some darling images!
So I created this adorable little beach scene with several of the stamps from the Happy Trails Collection. I did some masking here. I first stamped the palm tree, masked it, stamped the sand, masked it then stamped the water. I did all of this on Canson Bristol Board because I wanted to watercolor the sky. I like the Bristol board because it works well with just about any medium. So I watercolored the sky with Peerless watercolors and colored the palm tree, water and sand with Copic markers.
I colored the little bear, mouse and their beach ball with Copic markers as well, then fussy cut them out. I adhered them with foam tape. I embossed the sentient with white embossing powder on black paper and cut it out with a banner die.
You can check out all of the fun new stamps from Purple Onion Designs HERE!
