Hi everyone, welcome to another Watercolor Weekend with Art Impressions! This weekend I created a Rustic Cabin (well maybe garage/shed). For inspiration, I used my own small garage (or shed LOL) that is located on my property in Vermont. It is set back in the woods.
Rustic Cabin Card Details
Step 1 – The Cabin
I started with a small structure from the Rustic Cabins set. I removed the chimney and windows before I stamped it onto my watercolor paper. I pulled the color out of the lines. I added the doors and additional color with Sepia, Mocha and Steel Blue from the watercolor palette. I also added English Red to the door (because it is actually red IRL).
Step 2 – The Trees
I masked off the structure to protect it. I inked several of the branches in Sepia and stamped them around the cabin. I used a small amount of water to create a small trunk on one of the trees. Using the leaf bush (not sure what else to call it) I inked up a small amount of the stamp in Olive Green and stamped it around several of the branches. I then inked up the vine in Olive Green and added it to the branches. I used my brush and water to soften the lines.
Step 3 – The Cobblestones & Grasses
I inked the cobblestones in Sepia and African Violet. I used my stamp positioner to put them exactly where I wanted them. I pulled the color from around the cobblestones. I then stamped the small grasses in Olive Green around the cabin and in between the cobblestones. Using my palette, I added some additional color to the cobblestones and in front of the cabin.
Step 4 – Pine Tree Accent
To add a little bit of interest, I used one of the tree toppers inked with Pine Green to create a pine tree on the side of the painting. Finally, I signed and dated the painting.
Step 5 – The Card
To create the card I cut down the watercolor piece to 4 x 5 1/4. I added it to a card base made from Gina K Design Fresh Asparagus card stock.
