We’re still experiencing some hot sunny weather here in the UK, and I’m still ignoring it. I’m stubborn like that. Happily I can colour my own autumn! Watch me do just that in my autumn leaves scene Copic video below.
Littles Playing in The Leaves Card
I had a little less time available, so I kept the scene smaller and simpler. Hopefully it shows you how you can create an effective scene and tell a fun little story in a simple way. I find the Littles and Little Bits stamps from Stamping Bella great for this. The stamps are illustrated in a simple yet cute style, so there’s less pressure to create a detailed setting for them.
Stamps Used: Littles Playing in the Leaves, Celebrate & Congratulate Sentiment Set
Dies Used: Mama Elephant Stacked Circles, Impression Obsession Leaves
Papers Used: Mixture of Prima Marketing Wild & Free and old Magnolia Stamps paper
I stamped the image on my favourite Make it Colour Blending Card before colouring with Copic Markers. The set I used comes with the girl in the leaves as a complete image, with three individual leaf stamps you can use to create falling leaves. If you would like more options for scene building, you can get the Little Bits Fall Fruit Collection set and Little Bits Nature Collection set, which you can use to mask and build the scene yourself.
As you can see, I chose to colour the girl’s hair brown. Reflex I think, when picking up the markers. I reach for the browns so often for hair, that I do it without thinking! To help her stand out against the tree, I went in with a white Luminance coloured pencil at the end to give her some strong highlights.
