Step by Step by Mona Hauge

Hi everyone,

Mona here with my latest Step by Step tutorial called Family, hope you like it. 🧚

Step 1.

We will make this artwork on a piece of white A5 Multifarious card.

Let’s start with stamping Faelorn Rest LAV1043, Welcome LAV1049, Ashfoot LAV1037, Elderskip LAV1040, Pippi Mini LAV581, Wild Hares Large LAV608 and Wild Hares Small LAV614, all in Versafine Clair Pinecone. Pipin can be stamped without Masking Fluid because he will cover the lines in the Faelorn Rest stamp .

Now we cover everything with Liquid Masking Fluid. Let it dry before continuing with more stamping.

Step 2.

Stamp the Tree of Wisdom LAV609 so it looks like it is growing on top of the Faelorn Rest. Just make sure to wipe of some ink from the roots that stretches out to the sides. We need to make the tree more straight or else it will be to wide at the bottom.

Stamp the Gate and Fence LAV752 like you see in the picture. Everything is stamped in Versafine Clair Pinecone.

Step 3.

The Small Lanterns LAV698 are stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist and the Swing LAV976 is stamped in Versafine Clair Pinecone.

Cover everything in Liquid Masking Fluid. Remember to let the Liquid Masking Fluid dry before continuing with stamping.

Step 4.

Now we will Stamp with the Fairy Fir Tree 2 small LAV492 in Versafine Clair Shady Lane.

Stamp in both first and second generation stamping.

Step 5.

We continue to stamp in Versafine Clair Shady Lane with the Fairy Fir Tree 2 LAV492.

Step 6.

Now we will create some far away mountains and a night sky. We will use Elements Ink Dark Denim with a stencil brush.

Step 7.

For a more interesting looking night sky we will use Elements Ink Violet Chalk on top of the Dark Denim colour.

On the ground we use Elements Inks Olive and Pixie Green.

Step 8.

We need more greenery and trees. Stamp the Flora set LAV698 and the Red Pine Small LAV592 in Versafine Clair Shady Lane and the Small Trees LAV663 in Versafine Clair Pinecone. Look at the picture For placement.

Step 9.

Now we will remove all the Masking. Make sure that your paper is dry all the way through, or the paper might tear.

To create light in the Lanterns and some Aurora lights over the Mountains, we will use Panpastel Hansa Yellow.

Step 10.

Time to colour our Family and their things.

I love my Mondeluz Watercolour pencils because they are so soft and vibrant in colour and they blend perfectly even without water. Let’s use all the different shades of brown, black, white and ochre. The baby bunnies can be very dark and the parents can be a lighter brown colour. The tree house and the tree can have some hints of reddish brown. All this so that everything has a little bit of different colours. Use the black for shade and White for a little highlight.

Step 11.

Now we need highlights on everything. I always use my Signo Uniball Broad White Ink pen.

Step 12.

We almost forgot to put colour on our flowers! I chose purple so that we repeat the colour of the sky on our flowers. We will use a Purple and a Lavender posca pen and again our White Signo Uniball pen for highlights.

Now we are almost done. Add only a little White Posca pen splatter to finish our card .
