Here's a sample from me...

Some of you may have seen this on Hochanda, the children and I have been ever so poorly in bed this week and haven't had the energy to make something new. This piece however really brought back my love of copics, colouring her hair was such a joy. 

I used mometo inks to stamp her face so there would be no bleeding, the eyelashes I stamped last so they could be really black. And I Love her ears, it's a new set too as I realised most of the faces could do with a pair.

There are two styles of bow in the Alice template set, a fuller one and a soft droopy one. I've also included a little bit of clothing in this new collection, with puffy sleeves and the top of her pinafore. 

It bugs me a bit, but it actually fits in well with the story... just how long her neck is, hahaha sometimes I just don't notice until I'm completing the picture.

Today, we’ve enlisted some super talented designers to inspire you with ideas on how to use these beautiful new stamps and templates! Hop along for lots of fun and inspiration!

Here is the entire blog hop line-up so you don't miss a single stop...

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #67 ~ Sketch Challenge

Happy New Year!!!
everyone, it's year of the dog this year, hope your enjoying all the festivities, a busy week indeed with pancakes and valentine's too.

We have a new challenge on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today...
This Fortnight's is a little sketch...

I was inspired to create this piece in celebration of the Chinese New Year.

 I've used the Blunt bangs Long with the head & torso mixed media templates,

 with of course the female face stamp... to give a different look, I omitted the eyelashes stamp and simply drew in a suggestion of them with black copic liner pen.

having rekindled my love of copics coloured away, I thought I would bring out this vintage patterned paper from about ten years ago(I know).

Remember the old days when we would matt with gold mirri? hahaha I thought it fitted this style though so went with it...

although I do like the layered gold washi, also pretty in keeping with the theme...

I also used washi on her kimono, for the edging, which inspired the stamping on the rest of her kimono using the flower from the Oriental Zen Stamp with distress oxides, I then coloured the grey with copcis, impressed how the oxides don't 'bleed' good to remember if you ever want to stamp something in a different colour...

and I just had to finish her off adorning her hair with the large Peony & Bud flower, also coloured in copcis, in case you were wondering...

I'm entering this into a few other challenges, thank you...
