Hello Everyone..
It's Sketch time over on the #75 Paperbabe Challenge
with this fortnight asking you to use the image below to inspire your creativity.
The "paperbabe stamps" can represent any sentiment and the image an embellishment.
Use the sketch in any creative way, flip it, turn it but most of all be inspired by it.
Here's what I have been up to along with those How to Do's.
I first created a template following the sketch prompt, placed onto calico and traced around it. I wanted to create a pocket so doubled up the amount of fabric so I could fold it back on itself. Machine stitching around the edge to give me a straight guide I placed the long striped stencil over the fabric and painted on matte medium.
This would act as a resist when dry.
Distress Oxides have been used to add colour to the calico, picking up a variety of watered down colours by dabbing the fabric into those coloured puddles. The white stripes are the matt medium applied earlier. When dry this was heat set from the back using an iron.
Onto silk ribbon I stamped the small Paperbabe red rubber rose directly onto the ribbon using Tattered Rose Oxide and heat set very gently from the back using an iron.
The stamped ribbon was sewn onto a strip of lace then sewn onto the fabric, the fabric was then folded over leaving the circle free to act as the closure. Both sides were then sewn up to create that pocket. The sentiment taken from the MayLeeDee Alice stamp set was stamped onto Rice Paper.
Applied to the closure a piece of left over stamped ribbon was tied into a bow
and sewn onto the pocket front, completing my Vintage Gift Pocket creation.
Inside it holds a little gift just waiting to be given.

I am so impressed at the way the Oxide inks worked on the calico and I just love how the roses look stamped onto the ribbon. What a lovely gift this will make.

You are so creative and what a marvellous interpretation of the sketch. I always learn something when I pop in and today is not exception. I shall be using the matt medium as a slight resist as it looks great. Thank you x
