Hi crafty friends!

I am back with another Sketchy Sunday, this time using the Hippity Hoppity Bunnies stamp set from Kat Scrappiness as the focal point for my scene.

Card Details:

Card size: 4.25″ x 5.5″ (A2 size)
Colored panel: 4.25″ x 5.5″

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

Step 1:

I started by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using the A2 Postcard Die.

Step 2:

Next, I stamped two of the bunnies from the Hippity Hoppity Bunnies stamp set on the panel using black ink. I chose the one with the flower and stamped it on the ground. I also chose the one with the balloons and stamped it so that it looked like the balloons were lifting the bunny into the air.

Step 3:

Next, I stamped a sentiment to the right side of the card where the stitched lines are placed. I used the Hippity Hoppity Sentiments stamp set and stamped “Wishing you a” for the top line of my sentiment. I then used the Everyday Brushstrokes set to stamp “happy birthday” underneath. I love mixing and matching my stamp sets to create my own sentiments and stretch my supplies.

Step 4:

Next, I stamped supporting elements to finish giving the scene a post card look. I used the Be My Valentine stamp set and stamped the word “post card” across the top as well as a stamp in the upper right corner.

Step 5:

Next, I used a pencil to sketch in my scene for the card. I added some clouds, a tree to the right of the panel, a grassy hill, and some flowers. I like to take an element that is already in the stamped image and add it to the scene to really tie everything together. When I was satisfied with my sketched scene, I traced over the pencil lines using a black fine line marker and erased the pencil lines.

Step 6:

Now it is time to color the scene. I used Prismacolor colored pencils. Specific colors are listed below:

Bunnies and stamp edge: 50% French Grey, 30% French Grey, and 20% French Grey
Bows and stamp: Pomegranate, Process Red, and Hot Pink
Striped balloon: Apple Green, Spring Green, Chartreuse, Copenhagen Blue, Cerulean Blue, and Non-Photo Blue
Solid balloon: Violet, Parma Violet, and Lilac
Flowers: Violet, Parma Violet, Lilac, Yellow Ochre, Sand, and Eggshell
Grass and flower leaves: Apple Green, Spring Green, and Chartreuse
Tree trunk: Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber
Tree leaves: Cobalt Turquoise, Peacock Green, and Grass Green
Clouds: Lilac, Hot Pink, Non-Photo Blue, and White

I also used a white gel pen on the balloons.

Step 7:

I then used a blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add blue for my sky. I forgot to clean my brush before ink blending, so there are darker blue spots, but I think it worked out well and added more character to the sky. I blended right over the top of some of the colored images and had no problem with the ink blending interfering with my coloring. If you are worried about messing up your coloring, you can try masking your scene or coming in with a very small brush to get up close to the images.

Step 8:

To finish the card, I glued the colored panel to a white A2 card base and then used my finger to add some Rainbow Glitter Mousse to the balloons and clouds for some fun sparkle.
