Hi friends and welcome back to my blog! Today I'd like to share with you a card I made using Purple Onion Designs rubber stamps.

All those critters are illustrated by Stacey Yacula, I love her designs so much!
I wanted to create a simple design, and I wanted to feature those 5 friends: I firstly stamped all of them on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, as I planned to do some copic coloring and some distress ink blending. I only had to mask the mouse, as his face is in front od the squirrel's tail.
I then masked all of them, using Judikins Masking roll, and I ink blended the background. I used Distress Oxides in Evergreen Bough and Cracked Pistachio, and I also splattered some water, some acrilic paint and some distress in Wilted Violet to give some texture to my background.

I then removed the masking and I colored everything using copic markers (see below for the combos).
To complete my scene, I stamped the big bold sentiment in the left-upper part, using Versafine CLAIRE in Medieval Blue. If you haven't seen yet, there are a lot of giant sentiment on the Purple Onion shop, and they are really great!
As a finishing touch, I matted the scene using a blue and white patterned paper.
