Jointed Paper Angel Art Doll ~ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge

Thanks for visiting...

We have a new anything goes challenge on the blog today and I created a poseable angel doll.

 I started with the portrait face, and opted for the closed eye's face stamp, as it had a calm feel. Her face is complemented with the flowing Celestia Hair template. 

To complete the doll I've used the Jpad body, hands, and paper brad dies.

I drew her dress using her form to create the shape, and used the small cherry blossoms from the Flourishing hair stamp set to adorn the hems.

 The layered wings I've added, also with paper brads to help them pose, are stamped from the paperangel set four times to get the layers, but they would work just as well stamped once or twice.

I added a circle acetate with glitter for her halo, simply slot between the hair layers so it would be more of a 'glow' then looking like a hat, lol.

I've used my favourite copic markers to colour everything of her in, although there is a little hint of white pen and glitter too...

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

Introducing ~ Paperbabe Stamps November Release

Good morning and welcome back...

Today over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog we are showcasing the right facing 3/4 view version of the dinky female face, the perfect pose for so many projects...

 I think most portraits have the face slightly angled, it shows a lovely natural look. I have been really looking forward to showing these off!!! 

Here's goes, onto some samples...

The watercolours came out for this card, I've added a crown of flowers, I mostly used the flowers from the sugar skull stamp sets, with just a couple from the sketchy rose set.

It did require some masking to get the flowers this way, they were all stamped in versafine as I knew I wanted a waterproof ink.

I've inked the edges with distress inks and left it blank, I could stamp any sentiment on there or simply leave it as it is.

Next...

 there's 45 sleeps until christmas, I think I might need to make much more of these, lol

 I just love to colour hair, and  copic markers are one of my favourite mediums to use for this, you can get fine lines and add layers without having to wait for ink to dry. I didn't jot down all the colours that I've used but as a good guess...
Copics List ~ Face: E0000, 00, 04, R00, RV91, B60. Eyes: B01, N3, W8. Hair: E31, 35, 37, 49, 59. Jumper: R24, 27.

For the Background I used B01 around her body, used the templates as masks to then stamp the snowflakes in tumbled glass Distress Oxides.

 You can just make out the texture on the jumper, I stamped the knit with barn door Distress Oxides over the copic.

Last but by no means least...

 I really wanted to create something whimsical and mixed media, not sure how well it worked but I enjoyed painting it and isn't that the real joy of creating.

 I've used matt acrylic paints onto cold pressed watercolour paper, I wanted to have the texture. I have used layers and pretty much dry brushed the build up some depth to the image.

I added a crown to her, also painted but with accents of gold ink, to give it an aged metal look.

I fussy cut her out and added pencil shading.

Do visit the rest of the team to see their amazing creations...

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #68 ~ Anything goes

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

This Fortnight's is an anything goes...

The family and I have not been well, not only do we have the flu doing rounds we're also in the middle of the beast from the east.

So, Inspired by all this I'm going in with creating this mdf Angel, I've designed coordinating prints that have all the elements that match each cut shape...

I have this amazing molotow liquid chrome silver pen that just oozes deliciousness and have literally drawn all over her halo and the edges of the mdf, I could have coloured the whole thing in this stuff...

I've added a few dots, and the words which are on the print, I have just trimmed and inked the edges.

Here's a good angle to see the lines I created to give the Halo it's shimmer

I love adding stickles to the mdf it just changes it beautifully.

Hope you are keeping well and staying in from the blizzard

Enjoy a wonderfully creative day
