Step by Step by Katarina Eliasson

Hi everyone!

I have made a new picture tutorial for you and I hope you like it.

Let’s get started!

Step 1.

Start with a white Multifarious card sized 15 cm x 21 cm. Stamp Tumble (LAV1062) as shown in the picture in Versafine Clair Nocturne.

Step 2.

Stamp Tumbles Lantern (LAV1064) by Tumbles hands in Versafine Clair Nocturne. Dry with heating tool and mask everything with Masking Fluid. Always make sure the ink is dry before masking.

Step 3.

Now it’s time to make the sky. But first use a Blending Brush and Elements Sundance to do the light around the lantern. Start with Elements Blue Atoll around the yellow. Switch to Elements Blue Lagoon and work towards the edges. Use Elements Midnight Blue to make the edges darker as shown.

Step 4.

Stamp a bird from Bird Collection in Versafine Clair Tulip Red on the lantern. Mask with Masking Fluid.

Step 5.

Stamp Druid’s Inn (LAV572) in Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves as shown in the picture. Make some branches with Tree Branch (LAV306) in first and second generation.

Step 6.

Stamp a few more birds from the Bird Collection using Versafine Clair Tulip Red. Placement as shown in the picture.

Step 7.

To make the hills use a piece of torn paper, blending brush and Versafine Clair Portabello.

Step 8.

For the grass use Elements Olive and a blending brush. Still using the torn paper.

Step 9.

Make some more branches as shown in the picture. Use Versafine Clair Bali Blue to stamp the flowers from Silhouette Foliage (LAV683) as shown, using torn paper to mask as needed. Colour Druid’s Inn with Mondeluz watercolor pencils in shades of brown and blue. Use yellow Posca for the light in the window.

Step 10.

For the leaves on the branches use the leaf in the set Wild Foliage (LAV980) and stamp first and second generation in Versafine Clair Rain Forest. Darken the flowers using Mondeluz watercolor pencils in dark blue. Remove the Masking Fluid.

Step 11.

Time for some colouring! I have used Mondeluz watercolour pencils in various shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black and grey. I added highlights with a white Posca pen.

Step 12.

Add red, brown and green watercolour on the grass. Use a waterbrush to blend it.

We need a few more flowers at the bottom. Use one of the stamps from the Foliage Set (LAV679). Refer to the picture to see which one was used. Stamp with Versafine Clair Glamorous. Stamp Orchard Grass (672) in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. Use a piece of torn paper for masking. Add some white Posca and Pan Pastel around the lantern. Draw lines like grass with green watercolour pencil. Stamp the words in the set of Friendship (LAV1044) at the bottom of the card in Versafine Clair Twilight. Draw a frame around it freehand.
