Hello friends!
I'm up on the Blogabella with a brand new Scenic Saturday card to share. I found myself drawn to another one of the super cute baby themed stamps that are part of the latest Spring release, this time it was the Delivery from the Stork stamp that got inked up.
Rather than create a card that leaned into the soft pinks and blues of most baby cards I couldn't wait to take advantage of the story telling potential of this adorable image. So I colored a roof beneath the stork's feet to make it appear as if he's arrived at his destination. I then added the abstract skyline of an urban city stretching off into the distance, broken up here and there by a few tall tree tops. I started with the buildings that are farthest away, sketching them in using the lightest greys and blue violets, then built up each layer with slightly darker colors until we get to the scene in the foreground. This light to dark method is called aerial perspective and it is a simple way to achieve a sense of distance in a landscape. ring. Like a scene out of a cartoon, you can just imagine the couple inside the house excited to receive their little bundle of love. The sentiment is again another one from the new Baby Sentiment set and the green of the tree behind helps to pull focus to the message amidst the busyness of the rest of the scene.
Stay crafty my friends!
