It's time for another Paperbabe Challenge and a chance for one Lucky participant
to win a Paperbabe prize. This fortnights theme is *Anything Goes* a firm favourite
of many giving YOU the chance to share your artistic Flare however you choose.
Here's my take on the Paperbabe #76 Anything Goes Challenge
along with those how to do's..
along with those how to do's..
Onto an A5 sketch book I drew around both faces included in the mini face template
set, stamped the facial features and added my base colours using neocolor II's
set, stamped the facial features and added my base colours using neocolor II's
Glued into an A4 journal page used to mop up distress oxides. I scribbled neocolors into
a palette watered them down and used them to match up those background colours.
Distress oxides were blended through the Checkerboard and Polka dot
stencils and the bubble stamps used to enhance the background.
Drawn head wraps embellished with Sari yarn top knots accessorize my portraits.
Masking around the collar I used the candle stamp to add interest to the neckline.
Glitter glue and jump rings found amongst some junk jewellery add those final touches.
The warmth and character from these beautiful ladies and their vibrant
head wraps inspired me to start this creation during a recent holiday.
I look forward to seeing what inspires you to maybe join in with the
Wishing you sunny Summer Days.

The background alone is beautiful but those faces, oh my, how beautiful they are Tracey! The head-dresses you created are gorgeous - the sari ribbon was a perfect choice and I love how you used the candle stamp on the dress - very clever and so very effective! Hugs, Anne xx

It is a fabulous page.

I was here Thursday and your previous post wasn't up. The I got busy and forgot to check back. My apologies. These darling girls remind me of Island beauties who would have samba music playing while they swayed to the rhythm of the music. They are really lovely and set my imagination on fire!
Such beautiful ladies! They both have the most mesmerising eyes and I love the headdresses that you created - amazing 😁. Wishing you a wonderful weekend! J 😊 x
By the way I tried to add my latest page yesterday to the Anything Goes challenge but it doesn't seem to have been posted on their website. Hugs J x

Wowzers Tracey!!!... you are the paperbabe princess!!. The shading on the girls faces is outstanding, also the shapes of their faces tell us that one is younger, maybe mum and daughter!! Fab earrings touch!! Even your mop ups are a work of art!!. It is great to find out how someone who inspires so many actually finds her own inspiration. Hope you are fully rested from your holiday. Xxx
Gorgeous girls and stunning piece Tracey - Love it!
Beautiful colouring and colours. The use of the candle was genius and I really like the way you used the yarn and jewellery.
Thanks for sharing what inspired you and joining in at AJJ.
Thank you also for the lovely comment you left me yesterday. I have followed you back, but my avatar not showing anymore for some reason so I'm one of the faceless ones at the back :)
