 Well, hi everybody. It's Sandy, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube, and I'm going to give you a little vanishing point lesson today So you can learn how to do a floor in a laundromat It's gonna be a really fun card This is a new stamp set from Lawn Fawn. It's got this washer slash dryer you can use it for either one and It's got little clothes that you can put in it. Lots of people will use the opening for a shaker card and put the Clothing in it. I'm gonna do something a little different But I'm gonna use these bottom images on the inside of my card and then I'm gonna stamp images into The opening on the washer or the dryer. I think it's gonna be a washer in my case And I'm gonna talk about the vanishing point because the way this is drawn it has a natural vanishing point I wanted to lay it out for my card So I started stamping on the plastic sheet first just to get it lined up and see how many of these will work on My card and what I started seeing was that there's this vanishing point Not here on all of them So I'm gonna show you how to make the vanishing point match on all of these guys together So I'm starting by stamping my first one my main one on my Nina card stock And I have that all ready to go. It's stamped with some Memento ink and then I'm going to mask off the bottom portion of it and the reason is because I Want to move over the other washers and dryers And I need to do it in such a way that they don't end up looking like they're in a different perspective So perspective is something that I want to Be aware of so here. I want to slide this over so I only get that top left section Right there and I don't want that little angled line on the top We'll see how all this plays out in just a minute So I'm just using some post-it notes and two-inch masking tape to block things off So I'm only stamping that top section right up there So peel all of this off and you can see now I've got the tops all lined up They look normal and I want to fix the bottoms and I only want to do the bottom squares I don't want to do the top section because the top section is the part that has that vanishing point And we'll talk a little further about that and you'll see why it's important when we get there It's gonna stamp the left-hand side and the right-hand side so that I have a line of washers in the laundromat When I was in college I totally went to the laundromat all the time This stamp set brought back all kinds of memories of that So now I've taken a ruler and this is a rolling ruler that I've got You can use any kind of ruler for this and I'm following along the lines that are drawn in the stamp set that show the perspective Now lots of times you'll see perspective lessons with buildings and all that sort of thing But it works with something like this because they've angled the top of it So that they go back to a vanishing point So now we want to do a floor but we want to do a vanishing point on the floor That's going to match the vanishing point on the washer because I want to do a checkerboard tile floor So I've marked every half inch down below and then I'm going to take my ruler and Line up along each one of them. So I'm going to make little marks I'm not going to go all the way to the vanishing point because I know the vanishing point is there I'm just going to do that bottom section down there now Depending on what image you have you may end up finding that your vanishing point is way off the paper Here it happens to still be on the paper But just tape it down to something like I've done if your vanishing point goes way off into the distance Then it's still going to work the same kind of way. The horizontals are still going to remain horizontal But they're going to get bigger the little boxes the blocks of the tile are going to get larger as they kind of Wind their way forward So the further they are the smaller they get and then they get bigger. So don't worry about it too much It's only a card But you can make them, you know kind of extend a little bit bigger a little bit smaller in order to increase that perspective So I've put my shading down at the bottom first because I'm going to put the color on top of it Especially if you're going to do colored tiles You want to put that gray down first or else the gray will displace the color And now I'm going to use my Copic markers to shade my my little Washers and dryers and I want to make the edges look like they're a little bit round so I took a Dark gray marker or medium gray marker and then I'm just softening it with a C1 a light gray And you can go with lighter grays Yeah, my my dark colors scare people a lot So use lighter grays if you want and then I'll just add a little bit of shading underneath each one of the circles It's on the front because those usually stick out a little bit So there would be a little shadow under them the center one I'm going to cover with an action wobble But I was going to use it as practice It's always good if you're going to do an action wobble on top of something you can practice your coloring on the one underneath So I wanted to see how much gray I wanted on it This was more than I wanted so I'll use less when I get to doing the finished one That's going to be on the action wobble portion And now I'm just going to fill in all those blocks. Well every other block Along the way, so just going to color them in with a dark gray marker You can use a black marker. You can make it a checkerboard all kinds of different colors floor Whatever you want doesn't have to be a black and white floor, but for a laundromat. I thought this worked just perfect So I've colored in some of the other portions just solid colors a red a yellow and a blue green color And then I'll fill in this little strip on each one of them with the dark same dark gray That's in the bottom down below. It's going to limit my color palette There's no reason to get too crazy when I'm trying to go for a really simple look like this with a simple color palette I'm going to shade all of my colors all of my little buttons with just a little half circle of the darker gray and Then I'm going to take a signal white pen and just add a couple of dots like a dot and a half Not to the same size just a little bit different And then that makes it look like they've got little highlights on them And I'll do a little bit of a line on those yellow boxes and call it good for the coloring on that Now I've stamped another one of the washers onto another piece of paper And I'm going to trim out this outside box so I can just scribble around the edges and get my shading But same way as I did on the others I'm giving a little careful on that center circle shadow because I liked having a little bit less of that gray in there And now I wanted to figure out how to mask All of this out I didn't buy the die set for this kicking myself now for not doing it But I found a punch that was going to work for this so one and three-quarter inch punch So I just took a couple pieces of that masking tape and punched half circles out of them So that I could mask it and then throw all these little bits of laundry in there So I'm going to add bubbles and that's how I know mine is a washer because it has bubbles in it If it was not it would be the dryer But I decided to put the little faces on them too because the Lawn Fawn sets always have cute faces in everything because that makes everything adorable And I'm going to run run through and just do very simple straightforward coloring on this because That the really crazy fun part of this has been already creating that scene with all those washers and then Doing the action wobble portion which we're going to do in a minute So the coloring on this does not have to be rocket science Just so you know But you could you know if you wanted to keep it super simple And yet have something really special you could add glossy accents just onto the glass portion Which would be very cool So I'm just adding some real simple shading with some grays and calling it done And I've trimmed it out Now this is an action wobble if you haven't seen one you can do it two ways Both they're sticky on both sides and you can look at which way they Kind of fling around and play around with them. You know see which one Goes both horizontally. So if you tap it on the top surface How does it bounce does it bounce the way that your image would bounce? Because there's some images that will bounce a little differently than other images And some of them will also you'll want them to twirl a little more than they do bounce So pay attention to which direction you're placing it down But it can be top and bottom either direction as long as it works for the card that you want So I'm going to quickly run through and do the coloring on the inside and again I'm doing the same colors as I used on the outside of the card But just carrying them through to the inside. I'm going to do simple shading with grays And not get crazy with it because again The fact that I've even added anything to the inside is extra special People aren't used to having a little extra decor on the inside So even just having my sentiments stamped in two different colors You know that just adds a little feature to the inside that That wouldn't normally be there. So I'm going to let my coloring be real simple at just a little bit of gray shadows Use the same two grays Soften those out and call it done So I've got this added onto a card base. I just glued the whole card front onto a card base And I went wait a minute. I didn't put anything inside these other windows So I just threw some gray in there just the same two grays Blend it out. I'm not looking to make it look like it's Like major glass But again, you could throw glossy accents on all three of the windows and it would be very cute Because everybody's going to be looking at the actual wobble one They're not going to be looking at the other stuff But if you wanted to add more you could do that you could also add glossy accents onto the buttons, which would be fun But I think the card is just adorable And I wish that I knew somebody in college who had a birthday coming up My niece has already had their birthday because I think this would be great for a college kid So here's a couple more videos if you're interested in seeing some more from me There is a subscribe button if you're not yet subscribed feel free to click that and You'll get more videos from me about three a week.
