DOTD.. *Quintessential Soulmates*

Hello creative friends..

What a creative weekend I have had and to be honest I'm not sure how I have managed to create anything. Between finishing personal projects, DT work and starting the Christmas card making frenzy it has been utter chaos trying to find the space to dry things.

This is how I have been working this weekend, anything finished from main project to the tiniest element has been bagged up for fear of losing components amongst the mayhem.

I would have shown you a picture of the disorder around me but 

I lost my camera under it all..!!

Here's pictures and process of my DOTD Mrs & Mrs Paperbabe..

Two bags full of  Fibreboard substrates painted, coloured and glittered

using one Kit and the other from Paperbabe components put together to create another.

Here they are unearthed from their bag, ready to be assembled.

So let me introduce the Lady before Gentlemen:

Using Paperbabe stamps included in the DOTD kit I stamped her features and decorative details using Onyx Black Versafine ink and coloured with paint, pencil and posca pens.

Extending the stamped detail down her neck I just had to add a little spider friend.

Pushing embossing ink through the rose stencil I embossed the flowers with frantage.

The flourishes have been embossed with frantage embossing powder too.

Some of the fibreboard roses included in the kit can be built up to create a 3D bloom.

These have been painted and glittered and look so effective when mounted.

Dots of pen and dabs of glitter glue give definition to her Gesso painted hair.

I heat embossed the edges of the large ornate frame (also included in the Kit) 

using aged black frantage a perfect frame to showcase all those detailed elements 

once glued down upon it.

Mrs Paperbabe is now Complete and ready to mount onto the wall.

..and finally. Introducing Mr Paperbabe.

From the Mens Portrait set I painting his face and stamped using the Male Face  and sugar skull stamp set included in the Kit. I coloured, painted and clear embossed his features and adornment..

Extending the stamped detail again onto his neck I chose to mimic the spiders web just like Mrs Paperbabe. I sketched a suit onto the fibreboard clothing pieces and hand drew 

little skulls onto his bow tie with posca pens to match those two sweet skull 

embellishments that I'd heat embossed in white.

Another little spider friends adds to the detail..

Mounted onto an ornate frame heat embossed in the same way as Mrs Paperbabe

those completed elements are all glue together to set the scene.

Now Mr Paperbabe is complete..

Don't the make a handsome couple..???
