Let’s Paint the Town Red
I was having WAY too much fun creating these backgrounds, as you can see I couldn’t stop! I started by stamping out a bunch of the critters from the new Let’s Paint The Town Red stamp set, coloring them with gray Copic markers, and fussy cut them out with my trusty Fiskars Spring Action Scissors and Finger Tip Knife.
Tip: When fussy cutting, if you need to get into intricate parts, use the fingertip x-acto first, then scissors to fussy cut the rest.
You can see all the Copic colors I used below, and I have them linked in the supply list below. Using 2 different grays helps set apart the critters from the paint supplies.
On Distress Watercolor Cardstock, I created fun inky drips and inky swatches. I used Distress Ink Reinkers in the following colors:
- Picked Raspberry
- Wild Honey
- Mowed Lawn
- Prize Ribbon
- Wilted Violet
I would start by drawing on a trail of water, into the shape I wanted the drips to be, then holding the watercolor cardstock upright, I would touch a wet/inky brush to the drip path, and let it fill in with color.
I heat set the drip with my Ranger Heat Tool before moving on to the next color.
I then stamped the critter image directly onto the card background and adhered the fussy cut one on top. This way I still had details like the whiskers. Using Distress Paint, since it is opaque and would sit on top of the Copic coloring, I added some “paint splatters” to the critters and on the ground.
I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black and matted the cards onto black cardstock.
These stamps were so fun to play with! The illustrations are just darling. Here are the other sets being released today. Jennabler alert: You can click on any of the images to shop at Colorado Crafts! And a full supply list of my cards is at the end of my post with links to shop.
