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.

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.

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ My Quote Right Now!

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're keeping well and safe...

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

 I've created a one layer card/postcard using the flourishing hair stamp set along with the female face, the head and torso templates. 

I stamped the quote using the Fun Alphabet stamp set, this quote right now is to remind me that it's all going to be ok. I'm where I'm meant to be right now, whether that's with my home life, work life and the rest hahaha!

I think it keeps you in the 'moment'. 

She has been coloured using copics, I used distress oxides for the background to give a smokey photo effect.
