How to Create a Strong Shadow – Puppy Quilt

January 1, 2021 by Sandy Allnock 6 Comments [featured_image}

Happy New Year! I did promise I’d be back in 2021 with cards – so I’m here on the 1st with a fun one – in Pantone’s color of the year, yellow!

I’m starting off 2021 with a nap, hoping it trains the rest of the year to give us time for that! Let’s begin with some fun painting, and a scary trick to create a shadow across a bunch fo colors. Blog post with more info and pinnable images: https://bit.ly/2LHuXKP

Colorado Craft Company came out with some new stamps a few weeks ago, designs by Anita Jeram – and I sneak-peeked this Puppy’s Quilt card. Today you get to see how I painted it! And lemme tell you, painting it this way kept me from flipping out trying to color all the little bits of the designs on the quilt!

Isn’t that sentiment perfect? Vienna hereby gives you permission to go take a nap today – it’s the first day of the new year, so start it off right with a nice nap in the sunshine!

    I don’t know if I have wished you already a Happy New Year but not Happy New Year and that it may be a fantastic and healthy year for you and your loved ones. If I have already, better twice than none LOL.
    Thank you so much for the great video learned again a lot.
    Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

    This stamp is so cute. Love this technique. Have tried it and had a mess. Will keep trying as I want to use it on several stamps I have. TFS

    Sandy, this was such a informative and educational video!

    I loved this dog stamp, but initially shred away from it because I was overwhelmed on all the coloring and shading. Water coloring is the perfect strategy!

    I, too am using 2021 to reflect and simplify. Thanks for helping me achieve this!

    Happy New Year,

    Valerie

    Happy New Year, your video will be my first of 2021! I never napped when I was younger but now that I’m in my 40s, they’re essential for me. Thank you Sandy for sharing your gift with us.

    Happy 2021! We see a shaft of sunlight at the end of the tunnel now, which we didn’t see during most of 2020. Pantone got it right this time. Love your pup on her quilt, doing what dogs do best. I’m with you – naps are important! Can’t wait to try this shaft of light technique – don’t have this stamp (yet) but maybe I can find something in these thousands of stamps my kids say I own, that will come close!
    Enjoy shopping for bright collars!
