Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Choose a simple bottle image and stamp it in hybrid ink on white cardstock.
-
Step 2
Color the bottle with an alcohol marker.
-
Step 3
Choose a slightly darker matching colored pencil to work with your alcohol marker layer. It's very helpful to swatch your mediums.
-
Step 4
Make short, vertical lines with your coordinating pencil - if there's room, do it at the top and bottom of the bottle.
-
Step 5
Add white highlights with a colored pencil to the pencil details - choose which side and be consistent.
-
Step 6
If you like sharper highlights, use a paint pen or gel pen to add the white details.
-
Step 7
Finish your card. Add additional bottle highlights if desired.
