Hi, crafty friends. There’s a brand new collection of stamps in the Purple Onion Designs holiday/winter release that came out yesterday. The Tofu & Friends Holiday collection is from Pei, a new illustrator with a funny, quirky style. I love the images in this collection, and today’s card features Tofu & Friends Christmas Carol, as well as the Winter Trees Background.

I stamped my critters using Extreme Black ink from My Favorite Things, added a mask and stamped the trees in the background using Stormy Sky ink from Papertrey Ink. It’s a nice grayish green that goes really well with the colors I used for the coloring of the trees. I created my signature winter sunset behind it all, and did my best to create depth in the background by varying the intensity of the coloring of the trees. Once everything was colored, I stamped the critters again, this time using Obsidian ink from Altenew for a crisp, black outline.

At the bottom, I stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Time sentiment set using Cornflower ink from My Favorite Things. The carolers are just the right size to fit on an A2 card with a little bit of air around them!

I used lots of Copics for this one. Lots!!

The entire Tofu & Friends holiday collection is available as a bundle with a 30 % discount for a limited time. The bundle consists of 11 stamps and the coordinating Holiday Time sentiment set. The bundled promotion ends on Thursday, November 16, 2023.
