How to Create a Forest Scene Card Video Tutorial featuring Ride With Me Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the card that I made last night during my Facebook Live.  I shared in the video how to create a one layer scene card using my Stampin' Blends and the Ride with Me Stamp Set.  I had been asked a few times how I created a snow man scene card last year that I shared on my page.  I never got around to creating a video for that card but I decided to create a new card using the same process that I used to create that one.  Let's look at the card shall we.

I created the card on the left first so that I could show everyone what I was going to be showing that last night.  I did change shape of the trees on the second one.  I wanted to show how to make the trees look like they were in the distance and in the foreground as well as creating a road scene for the truck to be one.  I mean after all it has to have some place to sit.  I enjoy creating these types of cards there's something relaxing about the coloring process.

The largest tip I can give you when creating a scene card is start with the focal image since it will be in the forefront and then work your way back.  When working on the background start with the lightest color of trees because they are in the distance.  So, the reason for this is that anything in the distance will appear lighter because of atmospheric perspective.  As things get closer the will appear darker and darker in color.  For my tree layering I started with Light Shaded Spruce and then worked my way up to Dark Pretty Peacock.  The actual order of the blends for the trees was Light Shaded Spruce, Dark shaded spruce, Light Night of Navy to Dark Pretty Peacock.  

Let's go back a step and talk about the coloring of the truck.  I started with Light Sea Side Spray stampin' blends to create a base coat.  I then added in the dark Sea Side Spray and moved to the light night of navy and then to the dark in the darkest part of the shadows.  I colored the pumpkins in just light and dark Pumpkin Pie.
I put the sky in after everything was complete.  I started with Dark Sea Side Spray and then blended it out using the Light Sea Side Spray.  If you want to add in some clouds the Color Lifter is great to do just that.  If you want more details I recommend watching the video tutorial to see the entire process.  This a longer process video but I show you exactly what I did.  If you are viewing this post by email you may have to click here to view the video.  Some email servers will not show the video.

I've Got Whosits and Whatsits Galore:

So I decided to do a Mermaid card and I just so happened to have the perfect stamp set, it had just came in earlier this month.  I decided I wanted to do a card and use mainly my Stampin' Blends.  So I stamped the mermaid, seaweed and sand and then stamped them on some Avery Repositionable labels to use as masks.  I stamped the seaweed first and then masked it off.  Next I stamped the sand and masked it and then the mermaid and I masked her.  Once I had everything stamped and masked that needed to be it was time to remove the masks and do a little coloring.
  I started the coloring process with the mermaids tail and used Granny Apple Green and Old olive blends and then threw in a little mossy meadow just to add just a little more shading.  I then colored her body with ivory, bronze, and the color lifter.  Next I colored her hair with my daffodil delight, soft suede, and so saffron.  After she was done it was time to do the seaweed and the sand.  I used the same greens for the foreground and crumb cake and soft suede for the sand.
The water was done using Seaside Spray (light and dark), Night of Navy (light) and a tiny bit of the dark Night of Navy.  I worked it until I had the scene I wanted.  I built up each layer of the background until I had some depth to the image.  After all that was done I added a little white gel pen to the movement in the water and some clear wink of stella to her hair and tail to add a little sparkle.
I attached her to a Seaside Spray mat which was cut at 5 1/8 x 3 5/8.  My card base is night of navy that was cut in half at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy and added a few rhinestones to finish the card off.  I added a piece of whisper white to the inside of the card so I had a place to write my message.  And that finishes my card for today.  If you need any of the supplies you can order them in my online store by clicking on the images below.
