Kat Scrappiness Pirate Quokkas

Hello!

I am excited to be sharing my project using the new Pirate Quokkas release from Kat Scrappiness.

When I saw the Pirate Quokkas and Pirate Quokkas Sentiments stamp sets, I knew I had to make a scene card. I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4" x 5.25" in size. I then used and acrylic block and Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink to stamp the pirate on the panel. I wanted the treasure chest to be sticking out of the sand as though the pirate had dug it up, so I figured out where I wanted it, inked it up, and then blotted off the ink on the lower left corner of it. I stamped it on the panel and then sketched in the sand lines around the pirate and the treasure chest. Next, I sketched in a palm tree with a pencil and traced over the lines with a black Kingart Inkline pen when I was satisfied with it and erased the pencil lines. I also sketched in a hill behind it. I then stamped the sentiment "Ye arrrr a treasure!"

After the ink was dry, I colored my scene using Prismacolor colored pencils. Specific colors are below:

• Quokka body: Sienna Brown, Mineral Orange, and Goldenrod

• Boot/hat/nose: Black, 90% Warm Grey, and 70% Warm Grey

• Skull: 20% Warm Grey, 10% Warm Grey, and White

• Mouth: Crimson Red and Carmine Red

• Hook: 50% Cool Grey, 30% Cool Grey, and 20% Cool Grey

• Peg leg/treasure chest: Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber

• Buckle/buttons/chest seams: Yellowed Orange, Sunburst Yellow, and Canary Yellow

• Undershirt: 20% Warm Grey, 10% Warm Grey, and White

• Vest/pants: Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, and Carmine Red

• Jacket: Indanthrone Blue, Cerulean Blue, and Non-Photo Blue

• Jacket trim: 20% Warm Grey, 10% Warm Grey, and White

• Sand: Sienna Brown, Goldenrod, Sand, and Eggshell

• Grass: Dark Green, Apple Green, and Spring Green

• Palm leaves: Apple Green, Spring Green, and Chartreuse

• Palm trunk: Dark Brown, Light Umber, and Beige Sienna

• Clouds: Non-Photo Blue, Lavender, and White

For the sky, I used a blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add some blue to the panel.

I glued the colored panel to a white A2 card base using Art Glitter Glue.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to create.

Happy crafting!
