Bebunni Wedding Card Spectrum Noir colouring Tutorial

I’m nowhere near a perfect colourist & I DO make many mistakes but I enjoy what I do & if doing this step by step helps one person then to me that makes it worthwhile. Gotta say Iv loved making it & hope whoever reads it enjoys it also. So here goes my 1st colouring tutorial  🙂 xxx

What I used….

Neenah card stock for stamping & the die cutting

Spectrum Noir pens… colours are….. IG1,2,3,5  CR 2,3  CG1, TB1  EB1, 2 GB8,11 LG3 & 4  , DG1, HB1,2

Collall 3d Gel & Tacky Glue

Marianne dies (Unsure of names as no names on packets.

Blue Velvet Ribbon

docrafts Pearl/Diamanté

Scalloped circle card base

Pale Blue Pan Pastel

I am going to start of with Mrs Bebunni ears…. For this ear I used IG1,2,3,5…..

Don’t be in a rush to put your finished colour down just for 1 ear I did 7 steps. I have added the colours I used to the side of the pictures as some of my identification markings have rubbed off.

IG1 I covered the full ear

IG5 Here I added the darkest colour

IG3 Using this pen go over your darkest colour & bring the colour out towards the edge of the ear more

IG2 again going over all the colours & bringing it towards the edge

IG1 I used this to blend all my colours together

IG5 I now added more of the darker colour to make it stand out

IG1 Then I added lightest again so no harsh lines.

Other ear I did in 6 stages still using the same pens  IG1,2,3,5…..

IG1

IG5

IG3

IG1

Next I started to colour her head in 5 steps still using the same pens  IG1,2,3,5…..

Keep turning your image around when you are colouring

IG1 to do the full colour

IG5 to add little dots where I wanted the shading. For this bit I turned the image upside down

IG2 to blend the dots

IG3 to bring the colour further into the face

Ig1 to cut out the harsh lines. If you wanted a darker shadow you would now add IG5 again but I was happy with this amount of shading

Next was colouring Mrs Bebunni’s body still using the same pens  IG1,2,3,5

IG1 to do the full cover

IG5 to do the shading dots

IG3 to blend the dots

IG2 moving it out to the centre of your Bebunni

IG1 to blend it all together

Next to start on Mr Bebunni here I am going to start on his body still using the same pens  IG1,2,3,5

IG1 to do your full colour

IG5 to put the shading dots down

IG3 to blend the dots & add a little more shading to areas I didn’t want to dark

IG2 to start blending the colours together

Final all over coat of IG1

Now for his face still using the same pens  IG1,2,3,5…..

IG1 for full colour

IG 5 for my shading dots

IG3 for blending the dots

IG2 with this i started to pull the ink further into his face

IG1 to blend everything together

Now for his ears I am going to do these two both together still using the same pens  IG1,2,3,5 for me this was done in 6 steps as I needed to use my blender pen to remove excess ink from inside ear. Yep I make mistakes! Tons of them but you only learn by doing a mistake 😉

IG1 To add the 1st coat of block colouring

IG5 to add my shade dots

IG3 to blend my dots

IG2 to start the blend moving over the ear

IG1 to blend everything

 Look here is where I used to much ink so I dotted the blender pen over the top & removed it.

Ears & Stomache for Mrs Bebunni I used colours… CR2 & CR3

CR2 to do your block colour

CR3 to add a little shade

CR2 to go back over it all to blend it

Mr Bebunni ears here I used CG1 & TB1

CG1 to do the block covering

Tb1 to add some colouring I also added a little to the left hand side of his tail 🙂

Mr Bebunni Hat I used EB2 GB8 & 11

EB2 I used this to flick the colour from the outside of the hat to the middle so I left a white highlight showing

GB8 this looks so harsh but It will work 🙂 just add this colour for your shadow

EB2 where you have just added your shadow use this colour now to blend the 2 colours again flicking it into the centre

GB11 I used this one for the sash on his hat. I added 1 coat & then went back & used it again

Now its Mrs Bebunnie’s Veil I used EB1 & 2

EB1 I only used a little of this on some outlines

EB2 I added a little to the top of the veil & a little to the bottom

EB1 to blend the colours in

Next I did the flowers on her head & her bouquet at the same time using colours LG3 & 4

LG4 is lighter than LG3 so I used this 1st just dotting around the stamp

LG3 Then I used this colour to add more dots over the top. This is where I noticed I had missed part of the Veil head dress so I went back to colour it

Using EB1  & 2

EB1 to colour block it

EB2 added to left hand side

EB1 to blend

I left the colouring here so I could see what colours I would use after Iv decided what kind of card I was going to make…..

   

  

I decided on using a Marianne Die to cut my image out, but as you can see here the ears would of been chopped off if I had but the image & die straight into the machine so in picture 2 you can see I marked on each side of the ear where I needed to put so I could bend them forward to stop this happening. I then put the die back in place & put through my Die cutting machine.

I then used Pan pastel to chalk around the edge of the die & a little in the centre near the stamped image to take away some of the white glare.

 Then I cut out another die cut shape using a different Marianne die

 I glued the main image to the centre of the 2nd Marianne die cut

 And then used Tacky glue to add the frame.

 I cut out the 2 x Marianne dies again on white card & again chalked the 1st Die cut frame like I did for the main toppper

  It was now that I finally decided to colour the rest of the image in. I used TB1, DG1, HB1, CR2 & HB2 to colour the flowers & on Mrs Bebunnie’s body I noticed I had not coloured the tag so I coloured it using CR2

To make the card up I used a circle scalloped card & folded one side down to make an easel card, I added the main stamped topper & then the bottom Die topper using Tacky glue. Then I used 3d gel to add a velvet bow & the pearl Gem was cream so I coloured it using TB2 and again used 3d gel to stick it on top of the bow.

I haven’d added a sentiment yet as I will put it in my card box & wait until its needed for a wedding & then I will personalise it.

Many Thanks for reading.
