Creating a Scene with Purple Onion Designs and a Video!

Today is the beginning of a five part series on creating a scene around stamped images.  It's been a long project to put together because I usually don't color this much on camera.  I'm more comfortable coloring while sitting with the family watching a movie.  There are five videos showing how I created the following scene:

Part one is out now and focuses on drawing the background and defining it further with Copic markers.  You can watch the video here or on my YouTube channel:

As I look at the photos, I see things that could use some more tweaking, but since the videos are all prepared, I guess I will have to leave it alone - lol!

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Week - Day 4

Welcome to day four of SugarPea Designs' Sweet Peek Week!  Check below for links to the bloghop and for your chance to win!  This jukebox is rockin' in metallic and holographic die cuts - yep, die cuts!  I love all the details in the new SugarCut Rock N Roll Jukebox and I created a video to show an easy way to put it all together (see further below)!  Edit:  Sadly, I had to take down the video because we just learned that counterfeiters are taking screen shots of the product to copy them.

This next jukebox and accessories from Jukebox Jive were stamped, colored, and die cut with the coordinating dies.  I placed this jukebox on a wobbler so it really does shake!

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Week - Day 3

A little panda-monium going on today at SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Week Day 3!  Scroll on down for links to the bloghop and for your chance to win!

The background was ink blended over the new Geotrihex stencil with Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxides.  I die cut the new Bamboo Garden SugarCut once in gold and once in white, cutting the white one in half.  Those sweet pandas from Pandamonium were stamped, colored, and cut out with the coordinating die cuts.  The sentiment is also from the new Pandamonium stamp set.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Week - Day 2

It's day two of Sweet Peek Week over at SugarPea Designs and we have something wheelie amazing!  See below to follow the SPD bloghop and for your chance to win!

I stamped and die cut the bicycle and accessories from the new Wheelie Amazing stamp set and coordinating dies.  I also cut circles using the coordinating wheel die, and used the "enjoy" word and flag for the sentiment from SugarPea's Enjoy Tag Set. A SugarPea zig zag stitched rectangle was added to the background and the panel was cut using the stitched scallop from SugarPea's Card Front Element Builder.

Ice Fishing in the Moonlight

This bear and bird ought to learn how to read.  Ah, but ignorance is bliss:

I stamped and masked the images and die cut a circle out of a sticky note for the moon.  I then ink blended the background.  I unmasked and colored the images, including the moon and the inked background for shadows and shading.  I used a colored pencil to add the carved lettering to the sign.

It doesn't look like that bear is working too hard, those fish are just jumping right out of the hole!

Supplies:
Purple Onion Designs Stamps:  Arthur, Wren, Frozen Pond, Ice Hut, Winter Sign
Distress Ink: Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot
Copic Markers:  BV20,23,25,29, YG91,93,97, E40,41,42,43,44,47,49, C00,2,4,6,8, B0000,32,91,93, R30,32,35,37,39
