Hi, crafty friends! I know I haven’t posted in a while, but what better way to coax me out of hibernation than a brand new release from Purple Onion Designs? The Autumn Greetings collection, illustrated by Pei, is a small one. It consists of six images with coordinating sentiment, but they’re all so cute. Very fall vibe, there’s some Halloween in there and even a Thanksgiving image. I had to start with the Warm & Cozy Cocoa Wishes, it was too cute not to.

I colored the image with Copics onto X-Press It blending card and fussy cut it right up against the black lines. From another piece of X-Press It, I die cut the postcard shape using the Postcard combo die set from Mama Elephant. I used Peachy Glow ink from Altenew to ink blend across the panel, giving it a vintage feel. I then went in with a stencil from the mini stencil set 3 from Tim Holtz and added the splatter texture using Classic Kraft ink from Papertrey Ink along with a blending brush. In some areas, I added ink with the blender brush without using the stencil.

I stamped the leaves from the Tofu & Friends Autumn Greetings stamp (also new in this release) on a scrap piece of X-Press It, colored in the leaves and used another die in the Postcard combo die set to turn it into a postage stamp. I used the same Peachy Glow color to ink blend on the postage stamp. I pulled out a couple of additional panels of X-Press It and colored the edges with Copics, one with a blue marker and one with a red. I die cut both with yet another die in the Postcard combo die set, turned one upside down and adhered them together on top of another ink blended panel that I adhered to a top fold landscape card base. I stamped the coordinating sentiment using Dark Chocolate ink from Papertrey Ink and used one of the stamps in the Vintage PostCARD Set from Purple Onion to cancel the postage stamp. I added a bit of black glaze pen to the eyes of the bunny, but decided not to embellish further.

Fairly limited color palette for this one.
