Betsy’s Pumpkin Patch card tutorial

Hello everyone!  As fall continues to show off it’s rich colors, I’m bringing you a cute card made with the Pick of the Patch digital stamp set.  Let me show you how I made it!

This card was really quite simple.  I composed my elements in the computer and printed them off.  I die cut it into a panel for the front of my card using a die from my stash. I had a plan for the coloring so I started off by coloring each element in the lightest shade I would use.

My plan was to shade my elements just using 2 colors of markers and not blend.  Sometimes this is called story book coloring.  The shading is there – it’s just simplified.

I adhered the colored panel to the front of my A2 size card. I used chalk (with an applicator) and stencil to make the sky. My stencil was clouds and it had clouds all around the edge of it.  I used a really pale blue chalk for this.  I added some green and orange Enamel Accents. And I added a rub-on flag banner on the left top.  And that finished my card!

This was so quick to work up thanks to the coloring technique I used.  If you use this technique on a card, tag us on social media because we love to see what you are creating!

Til next time…
