How Peculiar? A Poseable Miss Peregrine Paper Art doll ~ Fan Art!!!

Good morning, great to have you visiting, we have a new challenge on the paperbabe stamps blog today...

The theme is 'movie night'... which movie?... hmm decisions...

I did plan on creating a art journal page using my templates and stamps for a bit of Adventures of Sabrina fan art but realised that was a series, although binge watching feels like a whole movie night lol! So instead I opted for the movie Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children if, like me, you love all things Tim Burton then this fan art is based on the fabulous Miss Peregrine.

I have been so eager to create a poseable paper art doll, it's been ticking over in my creative brain for some time. Then it really clicked when I realised just how to make the joints without brads...

...delighted with myself I just had to put this together. I've used the female face dinky stamp set as the base, and drew some peregrine style hair. I've designed a jointed art doll base but then used the picture below to inspire the costume design, which I drew and coloured using copics.

Her hands are one of my favourite features, although I think maybe her sleeves could have been a little longer.

It's double layered as I wanted to create a back too.. I think taking the photos took me so long as I was too busy posing and playing than clicking hahaha!

You can just see there is also a chain from the the bottle of stamp set heat embossed in gold. Too fun, I already want to put another one together.

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #95 ~ Picture Inspiration with New Dinky Face Stamps

I really enjoyed creating this for the current challenge over on the

Paperbabe Stamps blog...

The picture inspiration lead me too thoughts of gardens and pressed flowers and the imagery I felt reminded me of those pressed flower frames with the sheet of glass. So instead of glass I opted for some dura-lar film, I stamped the dinky face in stazon ink and used a graphic paint pen to draw the hair and details.

She was painted on the back of the film with liquitex gauche(new paint yumminess). It was quite some task to paint backwards with the shade and highlights first and then layer the skin tones. Then of course I needed to frame it so it would float and how apt that the rabbit hole frame has all those leaves around the inner edge. I also stamped the sentiment in stazon ink too.

I have die cut some teenie tiny flowers and made them into daisies, I then stamped some roses and leaves onto book-pages coloured with watercolour paint, fussy cut and adhered them to another layer.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, enjoy a wonderfully creative day and I will have another post tomorrow for our new release blog hop.

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #82 ~ Theme ~ Stars

 Hello, delighted you've stopped by today,

we have a new fortnightly challenge over at the Paperbabe Stamps blog...

So, I created this bowl, using airdry clay, 

I sculpted the shape over a metal mixing bowl, with a reasonably thin wall.

I then pressed the lovely doodle stars into the soft clay, added a few holes as I knew I wanted to add embellishments.

When it was dry I painted the outside with fantasy moon paints, this is my first time trying this medium, quite a fun challenge.

I've painted a few layers of gold acrylics to the inside of my bowl before adding the sentiment and gold stars using the tissue paper technique as trying to get an image to stamp inside such a vessel would be pretty tricky.

I used some black acrylic mixed with glaze medium to add some depth to the depressed stars and make them pop a little.

Now it's deciding what yummy treasures to put inside.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

Enjoy a wonderfully creative weekend,

Paperbabe Stamps Second day Introductions with Bottle Of.

Good morning, thanks for stopping by, 

We're on the second day of introductions for Paperbabe Stamps

Bottle of stamps, stencils and substrates.

I've created a clean and simple decor piece today, I was going for a pastel chalk finish on my bottles with an embossed label area, I think they need work, lol

I've covered the largest circle from my hanging circle media blanks with some patterned paper and inked the edges.

I've added half a doily to create a shelf area. 

Then glued the two circular hanging parts to the back for dimension.

For the bottles I adhered the bottle lip before I've painted two layers of matt acrylic paints,

when completely dry I've stamped the ornate label and sentiments in embossing powder.

I used the cork top stamp to add a little texture to the cork tops in the mdf substrates kit. Then simply adhered in place. What every home needs, love, magic and happiness.

Now it's time to visit the rest of the wonderful team's fabulous projects...

You may remember the original Steampunk Top Hat I made way back here?

This is a spookier variation using the same template you can find a copy here or here...

NOW EVEN BETTER then that is I managed to create a video tutorial... ok three videos, I really struggle to create these my editing is non existent and forget working out the voice over bit, I was seriously happy to find I can just add music over it!!! Then I've simply added notes for the actual steps lol! I hope you enjoy and it's not too long winded... any feedback would be great! 

I really like this latest version can suit all those difficult males in our lives LOL!!! The book in the stand is still a working box so can hold some special keepsake!

I have one of these telephones in real life.. collecting dust now but it worked so well for ages. I've heat embossed the die cut with black powder yummy!!!

Love Life and Live ~ Steampunk Top Hat & Stand

It's MONDAY!!! which means, we have a new theme set at...

and this week is Anything Goes!!!

WOW my final project as member of this Awesome Team sniff sniff.

I was inspired by these Steampunk Debutante papers.

I had the idea to create a steampunk inspired top hat, using grungepaper, texture fade, cafe perfect pearls (fabulous match to the papers) and gears. The top and brim are cut using ovals nestabilities, and I simply pleated the hat into shape! I can see me making a whole lot more of these.

This is the back of the hat, wish I'd have thought to put the eyelets in before I constructed the hat ROTFL!!! but still, managed and threaded some copper coloured elastic through.

I even lined the inside with fun flock, I mixed a few colours together to get this shade!

The Small easel is the base for the hat stand adhered to a large fragment, adorned with Art Parts and memo pin embellishments, one dangly using Steampunk gears stamp.

I cut flowers from Tattered florals and 3D flowers using grungepaper and the colours were matched using distress inks. So check out the goodies at...

And then why not pop round to the rest of the team's stunning projects!!!
