Step by Step by Katarina Eliasson
Hello everyone!
Katarina here. I Hope you enjoy my tutorial called ”Hypnosis”.
Step 1.
Start with a white A5 Multifarious card. Stamp Faelorn Rest (LAV1043) and Ashfoot (LAV1037) with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves as shown. Dry with heating tool and mask with Masking Fluid. Always make sure the ink is dry before masking.
Step 2.
Stamp Tree Den (LAV642) still using Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves. Mask with Masking Fluid.
Step 3.
Now stamp the other tree, Tree Stem (LAV643), next to Tree Den. I placed the tree a little crooked because not all trees in the forest are straight. Mask with Masking Fluid.
Step 4.
The hypnotic mouse is now entering the scene. Stamp the mouse with the hanging light bulb from Double Trouble (LAV963), using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. Look at the picture for placement. Time to make the light bulb move. Mask the stamp so only the light bulb with string is visible. Put the ink on, still using Morning Mist. Remove the masking and stamp in second generation as shown. Do the same thing one more time. Mask the light bulbs with Masking Fluid.
Step 5.
Now it’s time to make the sky. Use a Blending Brush and Elements Ink Sundance to do the light around the light bulb. Use torn paper to do the edge by the grass. Start with the Elements Ink Blue Atoll and work from the edges in towards the centre. Switch to Elements Ink Dark Denim to make the edges darker. Spray some water and wait a little while until you see the water react with the ink. Use a heating tool to dry or press down with a paper towel.
Step 6.
Now we need a branch for the mouse to stand on. Use Everdusk Tree (LAV1009) and Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves. Stamp in first and second generation.
Step 7.
To mask the grassline use the other part of the torn paper. For the grass use Elements Ink Lime Punch in the front and Olive in the back.
Step 8.
Use a piece of torn paper for masking when stamping the grass. Stamp Meadow Grass (LAV387) in Versafine Clair Avocado. For the mushrooms by the stump use Faedew (LAV1042) and Versafine Clair Chianti.
Step 9.
Remove all of the masking Fluid and start colouring with watercolour pencils. I used different shades of brown on the trees and the stump, pink on the mushrooms, black and grey on the hare, yellow and orange on the lightbulbs. Use only orange on the one in the middle.
Step 10.
Some flowers are always nice. Stamp Bluebells (LAV002) in Versafine Clair Twilight. Use the torn paper for masking. Look at the picture for placement.
Step 11.
Colour the bluebells with Posca pens, Light blue, Aqua green and a white dot for highlight. Use orange and yellow Posca on the Meadow Grass. Colour the mouse in black and grey watercolour pencils and the branch in brown shades. Make parts of the grass darker with green pencil. Use a white Gelly Roll to make some strokes like fur on the mouse and hare. Also highlight the steps to the stump and around the entrance.
Step 12.
Stamp Field Grass (LAV197) among the Meadow Grass in Versafine Clair Shady Lane in first and second generation. Use the torn paper for masking. Make some grass with the top of the same stamp and don’t forget to mask when stamping. For the butterflies use Flutterbies (LAV556) and Versafine Clair Chianti. Colour them with red Posca and highlights in yellow or white. Make lines around the lightbulbs with white Posca for movement. Look at the picture for placement. Stamp a few more branches on the other side using Everdusk Tree (LAV1009) and Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves. Darken the lower edges with Elements Ink Olive.
Step 13.
Stamp the words in the set of Friendship (LAV1044) on a piece of multifarious card in Versafine Clair Twilight and cut it out. Blend in Elements Ink Olive and mark around with orange Glitter Posca. Glue to the card.
Mount the card on cardstock of your own choice.
The card is finally finished.
I do hope you’ve enjoyed this Picture tutorial and will have a go at making this card.
Happy crafting!
Big hugs from me to you!
