Make a Splash, Purple Onion Designs

09/22/2020

Yes, I know today is the first day of fall- what better time to share a beach card?! But seriously, you know you can count on me for beach and ocean inspiration all year long. Today I am sharing this fun slimline card and some fussy cutting tips.

Make a Splash, Purple Onion Designs

I created this card using all Purple Onion Designs by Stacey Yacula. I colored in the images with Copics, and ink blended with Distress Oxides for the beach, waves and stenciled the rays. I also inked the edges of the clouds and the stitched rectangle. For some added dimension I used Copic markers to add little dots for shadow.

For the sentiment, I inked the word “splash” with brush markers to get the rainbow word.

All of the images are fussy cutout, and I have some tips to share with you.

  1. When cutting out something that has a dainty part, or very detailed like the mouse’s tail. Cut the tail off, and when you figure out his placement on the card, stamp the mouse and pop up the part of the mouse that you fussy cut.
  2. Once you are done fussy cutting, take the Copic marker in the coordinating color of the image and run it along the edges of the cut image- to get rid of the white edges.

For some finishing touches, I used a white gel pen to add some accents, and some glossy accents to the lollipop, sunglasses, and ice cream.

I really can’t believe how fast summer flew by- I will keep making beachy cards to help get me through the winter months until I can be on the beach like this card here again!

    great card — LOVE Purple Onion. Lots of good tips in the details. The dots for shading and depth on the sun rays is new to me and a great idea. Good one!
