Sassy Articulated Paper Art Doll in a Teacup ♥

Hello and welcome,

we have a new challenge over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today,

and here's my fun sassy jointed paper teacup art doll.

I used the Eileen Hull Teacup die, it's currently on sale. I thought it would be the perfect vessel for one of my articulated dolls, the handle 'holes' make the cutest heart when put together.

I created this sassy jointed doll, using firstly the doll body, the amazing paper brad and doll hands dies and stamps, cut out in a dark brown cardstock and details stamped in black ink.

I drew and cut out her hair using the Hollyhock hair template in canson bristol board which is a much lighter weight. I then added colour using my copic pens.

I opted for 3qtr view right head with a touch of coloured pencil to bring out her details

She is dressed in cute top created using the heart neckline, I added balloon sleeves just to the forearm and finished off with simple leggings, all cut from vintage doll patterned papers. I've added the cutest glitter pumps and bows in her hair.

and I would love to enter my project to these wonderful challenges too...

Mixed Media Card Art Published in Craft Stamper Magazine!!!

While I have a moment, I just wanted to mention that Paperbabe stamps are in August's issue of Craft Stamper magazine, which came out in the shops Friday 1st July, Yay, Thank you Trish.

I'm amongst some amazing designers in this lovely issue.

This month is a special Card Making issue! Showing you how to translate all those mixed media techniques to cards, so every feature in this issue has at least one card example for you to see!

My feature was the Card Art starting from pg 60. 

I have a step by step tutorial showing how I colour hair using copics, I created a few mixed media cards, I use coloured pencils for the faces and copics for their hair and as this little card wasn't in the issue I can share it in blog land...

The face is using the lovely female face stamps and my mixed media templates for the Girl and her hair.

And I am loving my butterfly set, I think they just add that bit little extra, I did consider stamping them as part of the image but realised that colouring around something so small would be a tad trickier, how easy to simply trim them.

copies of the magazine are available here:

Craft Stamper Magazine Shop

Digital copies are also available here:

Craft Stamper: Digital Issues

AND

I have a giveaway in the magazine too, all the Paperbabe Stamps products used in the feature is offered to a lucky reader.

How exciting!

Thank you so much for stopping by, we will have a new challenge on Friday so hope you pop by then and enjoy a wonderfully creative day!
