Happy Day Birthday Card (Seven Hills Crafts DT with Colorado Craft Company)

Hello! I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog with some more colouring with the Anita Jeram Colorado Craft Company’s Happy Day stamp set. Last week I experimented with watercolours, today I’m on more familiar ground with my Copics with this happy day birthday card.

Happy Day Birthday Card Tutorial

I’m keeping it simple today with a one layer card, so I stamped out the main image in some Hero Arts Contour Ink onto some blending cardstock. I usually start out with the background so I don’t get any bleeding, so I used some light blue-greens for the sky and some light, bright greens for the grass. I firstly blocked out the colour, then went in later to add the individual blades of grass by flicking my markers.

For the bear, I used lots of flicking strokes to give the look of fur instead of just block colouring. This works great with the no line technique.

After I had the marker base layer down, I then went in with my coloured pencils to add the finer details (like the eye, mouth and nose). I also darkened up the shadows and highlights, adding some white pen in a few spots to get that extra contrast.

To finish, I kept it simple by stamping out the ‘HAPPY DAY!’ sentiment underneath the scene.

Looking forward to colouring more of these images in!
