New Charmed by the Sea by Stacey Yacula {Purple Onion Designs}

I adore the new Charmed by the Sea collection by Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs  despite the fact that you have not seen very many projects from me. My husband is currently receiving radiation treatments and it has taken up my time, energy and any notion of being creative. But my much more talented design team mates have more than made up for my lack of productivity.  

This card was actually created prior to the release but frankly I have not had the energy to write up the post. That's how things go around here these days. It is a shaker card using the Ocean Shoreline Background along with a couple of images from the Seaside Accessories set for the shaker insert. The shaker filler consists of Picket Fence Studios Sea of Dolphins and Shark Watch sequin mixes. After the shark from the Moby & Water Spout set was colored with Copic markers, I fussy cut out and attached with foam dimensionals. The sentiment from the Sea-timents set was stamped onto a strip of blueberry cardstock using Versamark ink, white heat embossed and also attached with foam dots.

New Charmed by the Sea by Stacey Yacula {Purple Onion Designs}


It is my pleasure to share with you a new and oh so very cuteCharmed by the Sea Collection of rubber stamps from Purple Onion Designs illustrated by the talented Stacey Yacula.

After stamping Paloma (flamingo) onto an A2 sized Copic friendly cardstock, I masked it then stamped the fence line from the Beach Fences & Boardwalk set, then masked it as well. I used a combo of Copic markers blended distress ink to represent the water (Salvaged Patina), beach (Antique Linen) and sky (Tumbled Glass). While I had the two images still masked I added some splashes of white acrylic ink using a fan brush, then colored the flamingo and fence with Copic markers. I trimmed the piece down then stamped the sentiment from the Sunshiny Sentiment set and attached to the card front using a layer of craft foam.
