Journal Prompt Cards ~ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge

 Hello, so happy you're here,

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

and here's my fun very arty journal prompt cards.

I created these journal prompt cards, as part of a class with Katy a few years ago and wanted to share them here, as they are still inspiring prompts now.

You can make out quite a few of the stamped images like the smoke from bottle of, the dinky female face, stars, pop dots alongside a few stencils. It was fun to play with the face placement, I liked them stamped half off etc.

The prompt words were printed.

they are atc size and I have the perfect little handmade bowl to store them in.

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.

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..

Paperbabe stamps Challenges #117 ~ Sketch ~ Tiny Book

Good morning I'm here to share my project for our current challenge over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog...

 I created this teenie tiny accordion book, using the Eileen Hulls cute tiny book die, I've added lots of texture to the cover with some yummy cream paste through the cross hatch stencil onto some cream kraft card.

I then painted the whole cover in black paint and dry brushed some acrylics and added a hint of copper wax to give a smidgen more interest.

 The front image has a pair of hands, which I coloured in copics, holding or sharing a rainbow of love, using an old stamp set for the rainbow. I added a layer of liquid wax first time I've tried this stuff, I think it's fab. The thicker layers seem to create interesting cracks, giving it a wonderful aged look.

The inside is waiting for me... I used the longest side of an A3 and trimmed it down to the height of the book and scored to concertina the cardstock into the width of the book cover. Whats left is a little tab length that I adhered to the inside covers and painted it black to disappear into the inside cover(if that makes sense?) then I added a second to the other side.
