Ocean Seagull Message Card (Heffy Doodle DT)

Ocean Seagull Message Card (Heffy Doodle DT)

I’m back with another installment of my Scene Colouring series on the Heffy Doodle blog today. I’ve been seeing lots of masked scene cards where there is a slit of background taking up a portion of the card panel and some added foreground elements. I thought I would put my personal spin on it and give it a try today! My seaside themed Ocean Seagull Message card features the You Go, Gull and Otter Side stamp sets and just a few Copic markers!

Ocean Seagull Message Card Tutorial

The first part is to create the scene. I used some Alcohol Friendly cardstock and some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink – a perfect combo for no-line alcohol marker colouring!

I started out by stamping the front-most image first – which happened to be the seagull from You Go, Gull in this scene. I then stamped the scroll, masking off the gull’s feet and then used some Heffy Tape to mask of the slice of background so I could repeatedly stamp the ocean waves from Otter Side. I left out stamping the sentiment until after I completed the colouring to reduce the risk of ink smudging or bleeding, which I can find sometimes happens with the lighter markers with a lot of colourless blender in.

And onto the colouring! As usual, I started out with the background. I used two different colour families to differentiate the sky from the sea – pale blues for the sky and blue-greens for the waves. I’ve shown my technique for colouring waves in a similar card before, but I start with the darkest marker at the bottom and work my way up to the lightest markers at the crests.

I coloured in the seagull, using some brighter yellow and orange markers to make him stand out from the background. I then stamped the sentiment from You Go, Gull on the scroll and deepened up the shadows with my coloured pencils.

This makes a really good base design for a seaside scene card, providing you can colour in the lines!
