Introducing Purple Onion Designs' Sunny Meadow Fair by Stacey Yacula!

I am excited to share the news that I am now designing with Purple Onion Designs!  Not only that, but I get to begin this new adventure by helping to introduce the newest release from Stacey Yacula!
Purple Onion Designs is offering the entire collection - all 24 stamps (30 individual images) at a 30% discount until Wednesday, May 15th.  
I think I'm as giddy as these two in the roller coaster:

Growing up in the 80s, I loved old musicals, and one of my favorites was State Fair (1945 version).  Other girls wanted to be Madonna, but I wanted to be Margie Frake, played by Jeanne Crain, live in an old farm house, wear lovely dresses, and meet a mature handsome man at the fair.  Okay, now I watch the movie and yell at her, "Are you crazy!  You only just met this guy!  You can't marry him and run away to Chicago!"  Ah, youth...

I stamped and masked the roller coaster image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then stamped the background with a second generation of the same ink.  Everything was colored with Copics.  Then I heat embossed the sentiment in white and colored a slight shadow with a Copic marker.

I have two videos of this card.  The first one is full of tips about coloring the roller coaster and background, and the second video highlights the coloring of the pig and the bird.  You can watch them here or on YouTube.



Supplies:
Stamps: Purple Onion Designs Roller Coaster, Fairgrounds Background, Birthday Sentiment
Copics: C0, E21,23,25,27,29,40,50,51, R000,00,02,20,21,22,24,27,29,59, Y21,23,26,28, RV000,00,10,11, G40,43,46,94, BG0000,000,70,72,10,11,13,23,45
Ink and Other:  Memento Tuxedo Black, VersaMark, Zing white embossing powder

Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope you have a little fun today!
