Hello all you wonderful LaviniansI have made another picture tutorial for you. This time it is a 3D card using the magical Dinkles and the amazing new stamps, together with some of my personal all-time favourite stamps.Remember this month’s creative challenge is “My Favourite Stamp”.

Step-by-Step

Night Owls_1-900
Step 1: First cut some Multifarious card, sizes as shown.

Step 2: These are the Dinkles I have chosen, ready to pick up some of the lovely powder pigments with a paintbrush, or to sprinkle onto wet paper. You need very little product to create a lot of colour.

Step 3: Starting with the lightest colour to highlight the centre of my card, I wet the paper and sprinkled some Dinkles powder. Drying the paper each time, before wetting another area, gives a little more control when adding subsequent colours. Sprinkling all the colours together at the same time is not as easy to control and can result in a u201cmuddyu201d effect.

Step 4: Here you can see more colours. Adding some powder to water on my mat effectively creates watercolours that can be splattered with a fan brush, as you can see here. This shows that you can put very light colours on top of darker colours. Absolutely amazing. I put both yellow and white splatters on this card.

Step 5: More colours added to the card.

Step 6: Now add colour to the other pieces.
Night Owls_7-900
Step 7: Next, cut the pieces as shown here. Arrange them u201ctall and short on opposite ends.

Step 8: Here I used white Dinkles; you can clearly see the white dots.
Night Owls_9-900
Step 9: Using Multifarious paper, we are ready to stamp out the majestic Erwin, and two cute Bijous, in Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves; pretty flowers from the Vine Set in Versafine Clair Shady Lane: a couple of large and three small, gorgeous Forest Flowers and some lovely Christmas Trees in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. Finally, one of my all-time favourite stamps, the fab Moon is stamped in Versafine Clair Twilight.
Night Owls_10-900
Step 10: Elements ink, in Olive, Dark Denim and Graphite blends some shadowy shades on the trees and moon.
Night Owls_11-900
Step 11: Cut out the trees and the moon and add more colour for extra depth.
Night Owls_12-900
Step 12: Now put Dinkles on the paper with the flowers and the Owl. When dry, you can use watercolour pencils to make the details show. Finish off the highlights with a white Posca pen before cutting out the various shapes.
Night Owls_13-900
Step 13: Here you can see most of the parts, although I did end up having to make additional pieces.
Night Owls_14-900
Step 14: I canu00b4t seem to make anything without my yellow PanPastel – just to make it glow even more. Here you can get an idea of the colour placement.
Night Owls_15-900
Step 15: I put some Elements Graphite on the reverse of the small pieces so that the white will not be visible within the three-dimensional structure. Make it dark will blend in nicely with the rest of the card. As you can see in the picture, I have done some scoring at 0.7 cm on the sides.
Night Owls_16-900
Step 16: Gluing the smaller parts together first will make it easier to attach them to the main card.
Night Owls_17-900
Step 17: Glue it all together like this.
Night Owls_18-900
Step 18: We will use 3D foam to attach the various pieces, starting with the trees.
Night Owls_19-900
Step 19: All the trees in place.
Night Owls_20-900
Step 20: Position the cute little Bijou owls.
Night Owls_21-900
Step 21: Next, the magnificent Erwin. I used 3 layers of 3mm 3D foam to get him to really stand out from the background.
Night Owls_22-900
Step 22: One of my favourite stamps, the beautiful Moon is floating, 3D style.
Night Owls_Final-768
Step 23: Decorated with the flowers and with a little word on the front, and it is finished.

I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I loved making it. If there is anything you want to ask me, just let me know and I will answer as soon as I can. Thank you for watching.
