White and Kraft ~ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge

Thanks for visiting...

We have a new anything goes challenge on the blog today and...

I made another card, I went for a clean kraft and white colour palette, with a touch of rose gold.

So to create my white portrait I used the 3/4 view female face die

and the torso from body die, her top is hiding from her hair. I've completed the look by cutting layers of the Hollyhock hairstyle.

I actually cut her out of watercolour paper thinking I would be splashing lots of colours onto the paper but then I went with the pure white, hoping the shadows and texture do the work, I maybe should have raised them on foam but it's all about playing, this is one of those cards that needs a closer look lol!

I went for this sizzix mandala for the background and a little pine branch foliage from gold rose too. Then I added a small sweet sentiment with white embossing on kraft.

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

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ Love is Everywhere

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're keeping well and safe...

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

I created my card with an interactive figure, to represent the flower in the sketch, in fact I've turned the whole sketch on it's side too.

I constructed the JPAD figure the body, 3/4 right head, and hands in watercolour card and coloured her in watercolours. Her Dandelia hair I have cut in kraft and used coloured pencils to add the movement and details. I have dressed her in t-shirt and dungarees cut from the vintage doll patterned papers. All poseable with the ingenious paper brad then finished off with a sentiment.

Flourish Notebook ~ Tissue Stamping Collage

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're keeping well and safe...

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

I created this little notebook based off of the sketch,

I used a palette knife and acrylic paint directly onto watercolour paper to get the random colours and texture.

I used quite a few stamps... 3/4 view face, dinky hands, bottle of, Butterfly pieridae, Sketchy Rose, Rose Layers

all the flourishes, flowers and imagery were tissue stamped and collaged onto a painterly background. I think I would paint the back of a few to get some definition to a few of the flowers, another time maybe.

When it was dry, I then die cut the whole image using an Eileen Hull notebook die,

I love how the image wraps around to the back

I gold embossed the flourish mdf word to compliment the stroke of gold paint on the bottom edge.

Supplies used...

Thank you so much for stopping by

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge 113 ~ Sketch (mid challenge inspiration)

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're having a lovely week, I have been very sluggish after my very hectic year so far, the Hochanda shows and my brother's funeral really took it out of me, but I actually managed to get some ink on paper, or should I say I actually managed to finish something creative, as I have quite a few projects on the go and none of them even close...

So, there is still plenty of time to take part in our current Challenge, and I'm sharing a little project which could possibly suit a couple, loved one or an anniversary, etc...

I think I have followed the essence of the sketch pretty closely, if you turned it 90° anticlockwise, and then mirrored it, obviously, which I only realised after I stamped the first line of decorative detail using the designa tweed stamps, I love how the elements are separate. I also stamped the words above and below, I think it gives the vibe of a playing card? Like a King & Queen, now I should have added some crowds.

I started this with a little play on the gelli plate using evergreen bough distress oxides as a base colour and flicking on some watered down brushos. Some yellow, violet, gamboge and ost red, phew...

I stamped the no.1 flourish, their faces, the hearts and details in versafine clair twilight, as well as blending the same ink around the flourish mask to help frame her face and using the male face mask to add a little depth.

I used the brusho's as watercolours to add some details to their faces, but I think I'm in danger of making them look a bit close to demonic or maybe a bit vamp... this is what happens when you binge the second series of Sabrina hahaha.

Well, I pretty much used most of the latest release for this, apart from the hands which now I'm thinking would make a great addition to have her hand stamped on his chest...
