What's on your workdesk Wednesday #520 10th Anniversary

Hello creative Friends,

Today's an extra special day over at the stamping ground 

as WOYWW #520 celebrates it's 10th Anniversary. 

Three cheers to JULIA.. Hip hip hooray..

hip hip hooray, hip hip HOORAY!!..

I've only been part of the WOYWW gang for a Year but it's warm 

welcome made me feel like i'd been there from the very start.

Caught this little critter munching on early morning nibbles,

he must have got word there's a party going on.. 😁

My desk has barely changed since last week so no *ATC 

swaps from me but there's an ATC card ready for posting 

to our amazing host Julia later today. 

I think the words sum up this Wednesday gathering perfectly.. 

A door that's always open, safe with a welcoming hug. 

Home is where the heart is and where our story begins...

I'm also sharing this with the lovely ladies over at Tiot 

who are just as welcoming and also celebrating their 

10th Anniversary..! Congratulations lovelies... Lets Party!!

Still busy with life stuff limiting my online time 

but it's a migraine free week so far... YAY!! 

I'll be round to see WoywW asap.

Creative Hugs Tracey xx

What's on YOUR workdesk Wednesday #519

Hello Creative Friends

Desk sharing time again over at the Stamping ground 

thanks to Julia it's a regular Wednesday meet up.. 

WoywW #519

This desk view is not the one I'd planned to show today 

but I realised yesterday's tidy desk photo displayed upcoming 

DT work so I've had to amend it this morning... silly me!!

This view makes me feel very giddy...

so here's a desk close up.

I found those little paints at the back of a cupboard. 

Not sure what ever happened to Luminarte H2O's..? 

The foam tray they were stored in had fallen apart but a 

spritz of water soon activated these highly pigmented 

pots of shimmer as if they were used only yesterday.

I last used these in 2013 for some Wedding Invites. 

Happy to have been reunited with these little pots. 

             

A busy couple of weeks for me, lots of running around and 

medical apps so i'll be in and out of blogland when ever I can.

I'll catch up with you all asap

Take good care everyone

Creative Hugs

P.S still suffering with the migraines... I think it's my age! 😁

Paperbabe Stamps ~ Sketch Challenge #93

Happy Friday Creative Friends,

There's a new challenge theme over at Paperbabe Stamps 

and this fortnight we give you a sketch prompt. 

*Use the Herringbone image to create a background,

the tag maybe your focal, the "Paperbabe stamps" word can 

represent any sentiment and the flower any embellishment...

it really is that simple. 

Play and create, flip it, turn it and be inspired by it. 

You do not have to use Paperbabe Stamps to play along...

Here's what I've created and how it came to be...

Onto an A4 journal page, a background was created playing with the 

chequerboard stencil to add flat and dimensional texture alongside 

left over book pages, paper snippets, washi and loose threads. 

All calmed down with a few brush strokes of white gesso...

Shading with pencil around the aperture within the book page I stamped 

the comfort Zone sentiment onto deli paper and applied to the page.

Creating a Female face using the Paperbabe mini head and torso 

template and mini female face stamps I scribbled in her hair.

 

Cutting the face out with a Tag die, the colouring begins 

using alcohol markers and a selection of pencils.

Embellishing the tag with left overs, lace and paperbabe 

hand painted media blanks I arranged them to flutter around her.

I love how those wings in the background appear to belong to her.

There's plenty more to see over HERE from the Paperbabe DT 

pop on over and join the Sketch Challenge Fun.

A moment away from the weekend lets hope it's a creative one!

Take Care everyone

Hugs Tracey xx
