I've got a couple more cards to share today featuring the new Charmed by the Sea Collection by Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs. This little mouse Iris was the second image from the collection that really caught my eye.
This is a little stamp/image, but she just has so much life and motion in her that I really wanted to show her off all on her own.
For this first card I stamped Iris onto a panel with Gina K Black Amalgam ink. I then placed a strip of post it tape over her and inked a light ground line using Simon Says Stamp Fawn ink. Iris was then colored using N0, N1, N3, and N5 and a bit of R00 for a soft highlight in her ear. For her outfit I used RV11, RV13, and RV14.
The front panel was created similarly to the one I made last week for my Thaddeus card except this time I used Simon Says Blush ink and used a scrap of cardstock as my mask/stencil, inking and moving it down the panel varying the angles to create a patterned paper. I die cut a hexagon from the center to frame Iris, and he popped the sentiment, from the Seaside Sentiments set, up over he opening.
This next card is even simpler.
Iris was stamped on my panel as well as onto masking paper. The mask was placed that over her, and then used Post It tape as a mask, I inked the sky and then the ground (Simon Says Stamp Morning ink for the sky and Fawn for the ground).
For my coloring, I used warm grays this time for Iris, W0, W1, W2, and W3 with that bit of R00 so warm up her ear, and then B00, B01, and B02 for her outfit.
I added another sentiment from the Seaside Sentiments set, a soft gray mat, and a few clear sequins.
Doesn't she just exude so much fun and joy?
I'll be back tomorrow with one last Charmed by the Sea Collection card to share.
