Hello crafty friends!
I am back with another Sketchy Sunday with fun products from Kat Scrappiness. Today I used the Summer Quokka and Summer Gnome stamp sets for my sketchy 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 quokka and bucket from the Summer Quokka set and the beach ball from the Summer Gnome set on the panel using black ink.
Step 2:
Next, I created a mask for my quokka using a sticky note and repositionable adhesive.
Step 3:
I then stamped the umbrella from the Summer Quokka set so that it looked like it was planted behind the quokka.
Step 4:
I then started sketching my scene using a pencil. I added a sand line behind the quokka and then used a ruler to add a fence. I also sketched some palm leaves at the top of my panel and added a cute little crab at the bottom. I sketched in a few rocks as well.
Step 5:
When I was satisfied with my sketch, I traced over the lines with a fine tip black marker and then erased the pencil lines.
Step 6:
It is now time to color our scene. I used Prismacolor colored pencils. Specific colors are below:
- Palm Leaves: Apple Green, Spring Green, and Chartreuse
- Fence: 20% Warm Grey, 10% Warm Grey, and White
- Metal Elements: 30% Cool Grey, 20% Cool Grey, and 10% Cool Grey
- Umbrella and Beach Ball: Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, Carmine Red, Cadmium Orange Hue, Orange, Yellowed Orange, Sunburst Yellow, Canary Yellow, Deco Yellow, Apple Green, Spring Green, Chartreuse, Copenhagen Blue, True Blue, Non-Photo Blue, Dioxazine Purple Hue, Violet, and Lilac
- Quokka: Sienna Brown, Mineral Orange, Goldenrod, Black, 90% French Grey, and 70% French Grey
- Sunglasses and Shorts: Black, 90% Cool Grey, 70% Cool Grey, Apple Green, Spring Green, and Chartreuse
- Drink: Cadmium Orange Hue, Orange, and Yellowed Orange
- Sand and Rocks: Sienna Brown, Mineral Orange, Goldenrod, Sand, Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber
- Sky: Blue Violet Lake, Blue Slate, and Powder Blue
- Crab: Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, and Carmine Red
- Bucket and Shovel: Dioxazine Purple Hue, Violet, and Lilac
Step 7:
For the sentiment, I stamped "Sending a little sunshine your way!" from the Sentiment Sampler stamp set and trimmed it down. I also trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.25" in size.
To finish the card, I glued the sentiment to the panel and then glued the whole colored panel to a white A2 card base that I made using the new Kat's Color Studio Smooth White cardstock.
