Today I am sharing another Purple Onion Designs card that I created and yet again more colouring, which I am truly getting back into and loving.
I took some white card stock and stamped the Stacked Gifts stamp, this was a new line that was brought out at Christmas time, but I felt that this stamp had so many possibilities for anytime of the year, so hence turning mine into birthday presents. I coloured the stamped image in with my Copics and blended some distress inks, Antique Linen and Spun Sugar around the outside of the white card stock to soften. I took more white card stock and trimmed a piece to form a tag, stamping a birthday sentiment and adhering to the stamped image card stock. Lastly, trimming some crimson card stock to form a card and adhering the stamped image to the front of the card using foam dimensionals.
A little tip that was once said to me when I first started stamping and it is true, when purchasing a stamp see all the possibilities that can be used with the one stamp, for me I try to see this in every stamp I buy, I like to look at a stamp and maybe turn it into something for every occasion.
Well enjoy your day!
Hugs

Beautiful Joy! Lovely coloring!
Another great card, Joy - thanks for showing it. I agree about new stamps - I take AGES in deciding what to buy - I really can't justify buying a stamp that I'm only going to use once or twice. Thanks again for all the inspiration you share in Blogland. x
I really like how you coloured this Joy.... it gives the presents such a wonderful look.
just lovely! your colouring is beautiful :-)
This card makes me happy! I love the colors you chose for the presents. I always try to brainstorm a few ideas before I buy a stamp set just to be sure I'll actually use it! Sorry you had to go back to work! lol
Beautiful birthday card, Joy! Always love your coloring!
Love your card!
loving the CAS design! the presents are perfectly coloured, I am now looking at my stamps differently- seeing more possibilities! :)
Oh, this is so pretty - you can totally use that stack of presents for a variety of occasions. Great job, Joy!
LOL That is how I choose just about everything! Although, for me it is a very laborsome way of choosing.And it usually means compromising or getting something of lesser value,which means not really getting what I want in the first place.LOL But I know what you mean and I love things that are double duty like your gifts stamp and your coloring is subtle and wonderful. =D
Such a cute cute card Joy!
I love this card Joy! I totally agree with you about deciding on stamp purchases. I have always done this. It definitely cuts down on my stamp assortment. I do try to get quite creative to justify a purchase though. ;)
Such a great idea! Love how you've used this stamp for a bday card!
i adore this simple design. super card!
