Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're keeping well and safe...

We have a new challenge up on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today...

I was creative with a needle and embroidery thread this week, using the 3/4 view micro fringe hair templates, with the closed eye face stamp, along with the dinky hands stamp set. The tattoo was created using the blossom stamps,

It's been many years since I've sewn anything, and this is probably my first embroidery, I used to sew with my mum. This kit from Stitch Happy helped so much. It's certainly given me the urge to try another, my couching stitching definitely needs work and you can certainly see some tension in quite a few of the stitches.

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ Oriental Journal Page

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're keeping well and safe... and Congratulations to all on their the exam results, I hope it will help them move forward to their next adventure.

We have a new challenge up on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today,

It's an anything goes, so I added to my small art journal, it's great to have a space for experimenting... 

I drew the hair first with the messy buns template, as this would be nearer the top of the page, then stamped 3/4 view right face, and neck in black ink.

I moved onto her Hand and arm, and with the arm mask in place I stamped the peony from Oriental Zen for her tattoo.

With the masking technique I've added a few Cherry Blossoms to her hair. Her top and sleeve was really this inspiration behind this I have had this paper for ages and thought it would make great clothing. I have added a gold circle and using the 3mm Stripe stencil with black pen for the background.

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #125 ~ 1st SKETCH

Hello and welcome

We have a new challenge up on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today,

In fact this sketch was the first Paperbabe stamps challenge back in August 2014 and I thought it would be fun to revisit it...

I started by creating a watercolour panel based off the sketch using the 

Flourishing Hair stamp set, the Flourishing hair template

I then stamped along with the Female Face 3/4 view Left, the Dinky Hands set. I used just four Neocolor II pastels to colour her in, the Prussian Blue, Cobalt Blue, Turquoise Blue and Lilac. 

I colour matched a few distress oxides to stamp more flourishes, dots, drops and extras, I think I would like to try this again and add lots of white doodles, just didn't quite have the time.

 The sentiment was from the Flourish and Grow set.

Dotty about Hair

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're keeping well and safe...

just to mention there is still plenty of time to take part in our current

Picture Inspiration Challenge.

I thought I would create a very rainbow coloured card, inspired by the rainbow of flowers, adding lots of dots with the polka stencil. 

I've combined two hairstyles to create this one, the fringe from the rag tails with the volumptuous waves from this template set, framing the 3/4 view face.

I thought the clasped hand would be perfect to hold the cutie bear balloon, created using this old Adorimals stamp set.

 I love the contrast of real skin to the cartoon hair, so fun :) I've used distress oxides for the background, love that the templates help to mask her.

copic colours, because I forgot the photo..
