Hey guys! This week for Art Tuesday I am putting up a card tutorial, for a card I made recently for a male friend of mine. It is almost impossible to think of good ideas for cards for boys, but as it so often does, fast food came to the rescue! :D
You will need
A brightly coloured piece of card - mine was A4, because this card has quite a lot of stuff on it and so is pretty big
Some brightly coloured paper
Some patterned/textured papers
Paint - I used mainly acryllics, I think, but anything would work fine
Cartridge/watercolour/art/THICK white paper
Coloured pencils
Scissors
Glue
Red pen
Silver foil
|
1. Cut rectangles from your brightly coloured paper and one piece of patterned paper and stick them to the card like so. |
|
2. Add some checked paper rectangles at the top. I used one piece of patterned paper and one piece I drew on myself in black pen. |
|
3. Mix a colour of this sort - I used a bit of yellow, red, brown and ochre - roughly, so that it isn't evenly blended. |
|
4. Paint a patch on your thick paper... |
|
5. ...and use scissors to give a textured effect. |
|
6. Do the same with dark brown, red, and green paint, giving each one a different texture. |
|
7. Cut out two buns, a burger and two tomatoes... |
|
8. ...and some lettuce. Use coloured pencils to draw some lines on it. |
|
9. Paint black marks on the top bun. |
|
10. Roughly mix some streaky blue paint... |
|
11. ...and paint a patch. |
|
12. While it's drying, draw some onions in blue pencil and fill them in with watery blue paint. |
|
13. Then, draw a spirally oval on your patch of blue paint with the red pen and cut it out. |
|
14. Cut a beaker from red paper/a patch of red paint and paint on a sketchy white logo. |
|
15. Add an oval of white paper, your blue oval (see! It's an energy drink!) and a stripy straw. |
|
16. Cut a circle from coloured paper (I used textured, which works nicely) and paint a lighter circle in the middle. If you accidentally dot some dark blue-green paint on the rim, cover your mistake by painting a pattern. That, by the way, is totally NOT what I did. ~cough~
|
|
17. Paint a patch of golden paint! Note: this is far too much. Everyone loves chips, but not that many! |
|
18. Cut out some chips. |
|
OK, so, you know have all this STUFF! |
|
19. Stick down your burger! |
|
20. Stick down your drink! |
|
21. Stick down your plate of chips! These are what you might call the Big Three. |
|
22. From a piece of white paper, cut out a little carton and stick it down. |
|
23. Add some red paint ketchup, half a chip and a tin foil lid.
|
|
24. Add some patterned paper napkins in the corner and a fork and salt cellar cut from white paper. |
|
25. Draw a coffee cup and cut it out.
|
|
26. Paint some coffee inside it. Give it a coaster and stick them both down; add a spoon. |
|
26. Paint a rough patch of bluey-pinky-purply paint. |
|
27. Draw a cake case in it with coloured pencil. |
|
28. Cut a cake from your chip paper and paint on some sprinkles. Cut out a cherry and stick it all down. |
|
TA-DAAA!!! The perfect card for a fast food lover! |
Hope you like this card tutorial - if you make it, do send me a picture! :D
That card is amazing! Xox
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Helena! :)
DeleteThat looks great! I'm awful with having the patience for paint to dry, but I have quite a large collection of coloured paper scraps that might fill in...

Thanks! I believe that in the book I got it from it actually said to use textured paper but I didn't have any in all the colours so I improvised...
