Hello crafty friends!
I am back with another Sketchy Sunday with fun products from Kat Scrappiness. Today I used the Highland Mini Moos and Woodland Critters stamp sets as my main focus of the card.
Card Details:
- Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5" (A2 size)
- Colored Panel: 4" x 5.25"
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Step 1:
First, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4.25" x 5.5" in size. I then stamped the cow image from the Highland Mini Moos stamp set in the bottom center of the panel. I also stamped the sentiment from the Highland Mini Moos Sentiments stamp set. The sentiment reads "Life is better with friends like you in the herd!"
Step 2:
I then stamped the cow on a sticky note to create a mask. I fussy cut the mask with my scissors and then used repositionable adhesive to place it on my card panel.
Step 3:
Next, I used my stamp positioner to stamp the bear and squirrel from the Woodland Critters stamp set to either side of the cow.
Step 4:
I then sketched my scene using a pencil. I added a tree, some shrubs, and a mushroom to my panel. At this point, I realized that my cow appeared to be standing on the bear's foot, so I stamped some mushrooms from the Woodland Critters set onto a scrap of white cardstock to use to hide my mistake.
Step 5:
When I was satisfied with my scene, I traced over the lines with a black fine line marker and then erased the pencil lines.
Step 6:
It is now time to color my scene. I used Prismacolor colored pencils. Specific colors are below:
- Bear: Black, 90% French Grey, 70% French Grey, 50% French Grey, 30% French Grey, and 20% French Grey
- Squirrel: Sepia, Sandbar Brown, Beige Sienna, 20% French Grey, 10% French Grey, White, Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber
- Cow: Dark Brown, Sienna Brown, Goldenrod, Yellow Ochre, Sand, Pomegranate, Process Red, Hot Pink, Peacock Green, Grass Green, True Green, Dark Green, Apple Green, and Spring Green
- Mushrooms: Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, Carmine Red, 20% French Grey, 10% French Grey, and White
- Grass: Dark Green, Apple Green, Spring Green, and Chartreuse
- Tree Trunk: Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber
- Tree Leaves: Peacock Green, Grass Green, and True Green
- Shrubs: Cobalt Turquoise, Peacock Green, and Grass Green
Step 7:
I then trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.25" and used a blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add some blue to my sky.
Step 8:
I then fussy cut around the mushrooms and glued them to my panel, adding a shadow underneath with the dark green pencil.
To finish the card, I glued my colored panel to a white A2 card base.
