For the Love of Coloring + Giveaway
So – like many of you – I love to color. And I get giddy when I find stamp images that just scream “COLOR ME!” It makes me so happy.
I had been seeing many of the new Purple Onion Design stamps lately thanks to the coloring master herself, Kathy Racoosin. I finally got some for myself and I am oh so very happy I did. And the folks over at Purple Onion Design have a sale going on right now – 25% off – with the code “HOL2013” before 12/6/13! You can find more info HERE. You can see the newest stamps HERE.
Here are a couple cards I created…
Aren’t those snowmen the cutest?! So fun to color. I used my Prismacolor Pencils for this one… just doing the shading and blending with lighter colors. I also covered most of the guys with Wink of Stella for shimmer. I also added a little birdie to one of them. I used a black Paper Pen to make the eyes dimensional.
And the background? I added Embossing Paste heavily over the awesome Falling Snow Stencil. I LOVE these results. The paste dries somewhat soft – perfect for snow.
This Santa that I used on the next card also won my heart. Sigh. He is magical.
I used my Prismacolor Pencils with gamsol on this card. I have fallen back in love with gamsol! (I have a REALLY old video showing how to use it HERE… but I will do more videos in the near future.)
Lots of Wink of Stella on the white trim and beard. Wish it would have photographed better…
Here is a look at that embossing paste snow in the background. Love…
BTW… Purple Onion Design stamps are unmounted rubber. But don’t let that scare you! Guess what I do – I just temporarily adhere the rubber to one of my acrylic mounts and stamp as I normally would. I don’t fuss with adding foam… and they stamp beautifully. Just like a clear stamp.
Enjoy!
(And, as always, I wasn’t paid to do this post. I just like their stamps and was happy to use them as a guest. I have loved POD stamps for years and remember using their alphabet stamps mannnny years ago on my scrapbook pages. The owner Michele is wonderful.)
