Paperbabe Stamps Anything Goes

Hello my craft friends. It's time for the latest challenge at Paperbabe Stamps blog and this fortnight we have the theme of: Anything Goes. So do come and join in, you could win a prize. There are an array of delicious inspirational ideas for you to see from the design team. Also check out the latest NEW RELEASES. They are awesome. Go shopping HERE with PAPERBABE STAMPS

This butterfly is one I have had in mind to do since I saw the template. I can also see a shoe, elephant and even a sleigh from just the one wing. I'm also thinking shrink plastic???? It's different and it's certainly useful. So go buy it.

Here I have created a large journal page using the Mixed Media Winter Fairy Wing Template with parchment paper to make a butterfly and put this onto a background that uses the Art Quote To Draw rubber stamp and Design A Tweed Clear stamp set. The background started with inks and sprays and gold embossing powder, then some painty layers and stamping with paint with tweed and script stamp repeatedly to finish off. I added some pink glitter accents and also the words fly, butterfly written with a glue pen and glittered.
I decided to keep the butterfly simple with a few lines and clear sparkle pen over the top.
The page in real life is much brighter and lush layers.

I hope you like it.

Paperbabe Stamps Love Challenge

Today is the start of a new challenge at the PAPERBABE STAMPS BLOG. It's a great theme, LOVE.

Do come and check it out and the inspiration from the team is awesome. You'll also get to see the latest new digi stamp.

I've created a card and I just love this character.

I've used watercolours to paint MayLeeDee in Wonderland, red rubber stamp (there is also a sentiment include in set) masking off the bottle and adding an embossed heart from the Folk Fabrique stamp set in its place. Placed on a background I've made with a Tando heart stencil then overlaying with Herringbone Mixed Media Stencil. I've then added lots of dots of Diamond Stickles to complete the background. You can see all Paperbabe Stamps products here.

Thanks for popping by today

Paperbabe Stamps Sketch Challenge

Hello and a good day to you. Today is the launch of the latest challenge over on the PAPERBABE STAMPS BLOG and this fortnight is a sketch challenge. (pic below) So do pop over and say hello and get entering as there is a prize for the winner.

 

I have made an A5 size card for this challenge. I have rotated the sketch 90° and tried something new to me using the HERRINGBONE MIXED MEDIA STENCIL with Stazon ink pads in cherry pink and purple, a glue stick rubbed over the stencil and then transfer foil in two gold colours rubbed on randomly. You can see a photo of this below. I've then splattered some black paint across the background. My main image is my new stamp MAYLEEDEE KIMONO STAMP , she is coloured with Copic and Chameleon marker pens and her hair is dome with a mix of black, greys and lilacs. The card is finished with buttons and gems. You can buy them here at the PAPERBABE STAMPS SHOP where THE JANUARY SALE IS STILL ON

Paperbabe Colour Challenge

Hello, warm greetings on this cold day. Well it is here in the UK. Today is the start of the new challenge on the PAPERBABE STAMPS BLOG 

For this challenge the theme is a picture inspiration. I loved this inspirational picture it made me think of warmer days. So I used the colours to inspire my project.

I've created an art journal page, with a collaged background. It's my first go at using acrylic paints to paint my girl. Then I've gone in with Pencils for her hair.
For this girl I've combined the Mini Mermaid, Mini Wavy Bunches and Mini Head and Torso Templates. I've stamped the face using Female Mini Face stamp set and A little decoration from Folk Fabrique stamp set. I've left a space at the top for some journal writing. 

You can find them all Here at PAPERBABE STAMPS SHOP.

Paperbabe Stamps NR day 2

Hello again, I'm back again today to share Day 2 of the New Release at Paperbabe Stamps Blog. 

Today is introducing Standard Female Face stamp and Hair Templates. All this month's new releases will be on sale from tomorrow at the PAPERBABE STAMPS SHOP
For my project to showcase these I've done a large journal page. I've used the Standard Head and Torso Template with the Standard Rag Tails Template and the new Female Face stamp set.

I've coloured my lady with alcohol pens trying again with the no blending technique. A quick background was all that was needed as I really wanted to make a statement. I enjoyed making up this and do have a look at the blog as the rest of the design team's awesome projects are linked there

Paperbabe Stamps New Release

A big warm hello to you,
I had some fabulous news recently, being successful at becoming a part of the PAPERBABE STAMPS DESIGN TEAM.

For my first post for them, I am showcasing a project made from some of the November New Release. There are new face builder sets and three new hairstyle templates being released this month. Today on the PAPERBABE STAMPS BLOG is introducing the Mini Female Face stamp set and Hair Templates. You can go shopping at the PAPERBABE STAMPS SHOP on Etsy.

To make my project in my 8x8 journal, I've used Mini Wavy Bunches template, Female Face Mini Stamp set and Mini Head and Torso Template. And Folk Fabrique Clear Stamp set to decorate.
Colour comes from papers, paints, pencils, inks and water soluble crayons.

This is my first time using these products. Impressive or what! Once you've done one it becomes easy, allowing you to concentrate on design and techniques. I also had a try with Pencils and gesso to colour the face, it didn't quite happen but still practise makes perfect as they say. I did love the result of the hair. There are fabulous tutorials and how to's on the PAPERBABE STAMPS BLOG and the rest of the design team are showcasing too.
Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting
Luv Dawn
