A rainbow of happiness...

TGIF!    

Flappy's Rainbow is another of the adorable stamps that make up the new Sunshine and Daydreams release at Purple Onion Designs. This talented pup is painting a masterpiece on that wall for all the world to enjoy. At first I was only going to color Flappy in black and white tones but then I thought it might look cool to have everything but the rainbow and paint colors colored in grey scale. So I pulled out the full range of warm grey Copics and used them to create the scene. Now the bold, rainbow colors on his apron, brushes and the wall really stand out in comparison. The sentiment is from the new Sunshine and Daydreams sentiment set, and as a fun finishing touch I added a sprinkling of enamel dots to match the rainbow. 

The limited time bundle deal, where you can get the entire release at a 30% discount, is available until June 24th. The big clearance sale is also still going strong, with lots of amazing deals. 

Have a great weekend!

Sunshine and Seashells...

Hello friends!

This pretty ocean scene was colored during the second Sea-sational MerMay clear release Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. It features the long haired mermaid from the Salty and Sweet 3 set and I masked her off before stamping the Mermaid Throne Background so she would be seated directly on the large shell. The color suggestions that I got from my fellow crafters lead us to a very soft, pastel palette which I think suits this little beauty quite nicely. After the Live I added a sentiment from the retired Sunshine and Seashells set down in the sandy bottom. This dreamy scene was such a great way to wrap up the day.  :)

Have a good one!

Time to relax...

Hi there!    

I'm back with a fun summer scene using stamps from the new Sunshine and Daydreams release at Purple Onion Designs. The Beach Besties are a cute kitty and bear all decked out and ready for a day playing in the sand and surf. To help set that scene I paired these friends with the new Beachscape Background and then colored everything in happy summer colors. The sentiment is from the new Sunshine and Daydreams sentiment set, and relaxing is exactly how I like my beach days to be.  ;)

The limited time bundle deal, where you can get the entire release at a 30% discount, is available until June 24th. The big clearance sale is also still going strong, with lots of amazing deals. 

Toodles!

A little note from the sea...

Hey, hey!

This fun under the sea postage collage style card was colored during my first Sea-sational MerMay clear release Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. We kicked things off with the sweet Sea Babies set full of adorable little mermaids and these silly fishy friends. Even though we colored each panel individually, I made sure the sand and sea all lined up so that when the panels were glued into place they would make one cohesive scene. After the Live I used the Fantasy Post Marks and Year Round Post Marks sets to add the finishing touches to this postage themed card. This was such a fun way to dive into the release weekend celebration. :)

Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Catherine Pooler
stamps- Sweet November Stamps (Sea Babies, Fantasy Post Marks and Year Round Post Marks)
ink- Memento tuxedo black, Catherine Pooler all that jazz and queen for a day
