Hi crafty friends!
I hope you enjoyed my first Sketchy Sundays post last week and are excited for another card today. I used several Kat Scrappiness products for this card, using the Easter Quokkas stamp set as my focal point.
Card Details:
- Card size: 4.25″ x 5.5″ (A2 size)
- Stamped/colored panel (before die cutting): 4.25″ x 5.5″
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Step 1:
I stared by trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ in size. I then stamped the quokka holding the carrot from the Easter Quokkas stamp set down toward the bottom left of the panel using black ink.
Step 2:
Next, I sketched in my garden scene using a pencil. I added a ground layer and roughly sketched in some carrots sticking up out of the ground. I also added in a sign that says “garden” and placed some leaves in the upper right corner to look like a tree branch was sticking into the scene.
Step 3:
When I was satisfied with my sketched scene, I traced over the lines using a black fine line marker and erased the pencil lines. I also decided to add a hill behind my garden to add some grass to the scene.
Step 4:
To add some color to the sky, I used a blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add some light blue to the panel. I wasn’t worried about overlapping the stamped/sketched images since the color was so light and I was going to be coloring over it.
Step 5:
It is now time to color our scene. I used Prismacolor colored pencils for my coloring and will list the specific colors below.
- Quokka: Sienna Brown, Mineral Orange, Goldenrod, Black, 90% French Grey, and 70% French Grey
- Carrot tops: Dark Green, Apple Green, and Spring Green
- Carrots: Black Cherry, Dark Purple, Dahlia Purple, and Orange
- Dirt: Mineral Orange, Goldenrod, and Sand
- Sign/rocks: Dark Brown, Light Umber, and Beige Sienna – I also traced over the letters with the black pencil
- Tree/grass: Peacock Green, Grass Green, and True Green
Step 6:
I then die cut my panel using the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scalloped Rectangle dies (currently out of stock). I used the largest die in the set. To add some more interest to my sky, I came in with Salty Ocean Distress Ink and a Kat’s Crafty Dabber to darken the edges and add some darker patches in the sky.
Step 7:
To create the sentiment, I stamped “I carrot bout you” from the Easter Quokkas stamp set directly on the card base using black ink. I then die cut the words “love you” using the Love You Shadow Sentiment craft dies and glued them to the card.
I then glued the whole panel to a white A2 card base to finish off the card.
