Happy Friday everyone
It's time for another challenge over at Paperbabe Stamps
with the favourite theme of many *Anything Goes*
Please pop over HERE and share your creativity with us,
you do not have to use Paperbabe stamps but if you do
the prize will increase for one lucky winner.
Here's what I got up to and how it came to be..
Sometimes the hardest part when creating can be having no instruction.
Anything goes gives us freedom to explore and words often help me do this.
The line below is taken from the Poem Youth and Age by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
and is included in the Tree Hugs Stamp set and is my own source
of inspiration for this journal page.
of inspiration for this journal page.
.
Using one of my Paperbabe WIP's created using the mini portrait templates,
stamped facial features and blunt bangs she awaits further adaptation.
Onto a journal page I created a scene using the Tree Hugs Stamp set.
scribbling in areas of light and shade using neocolor II's.
Deli paper applied with matt medium helps add texture to that flat page.
Acrylics are painted over the Deli paper and spritzed with water to move the paint
around, repeating the process when dry until happy with the application.
What appears to be birds in the sky is actually two hands holding.
A genius little stamp included in the set.
After adding more colour to the tree tops I stamped in those two nesting birds
and rounded off the area of light surrounding to form the Sun or Moon
which every you choose to see.
Luminance pencils help create a Unicorn effect to the hair colour.
Cut out and applied to the page, black pencil is used heavily to outline each area.
My Paperbabe Journal Page is complete.
Friendship is such a beautiful thing and we are blessed if we have
friends that we can count on during our life time... I know I do..
Wishing you a wonderful week
and much creativity.
Hugs Tracey xx

Jaw dropping gorgeous, Tracey.
I was so grateful you shared how you created this beauty. I was impressed that you used deli paper, because I thought it was not available in the UK. Yes, after you told us, I saw the two hands. The DO look like birds, though.
I love your darling paperbabe. She is adorable, and so is her sheltering tree. That is such an awesome quote about friendship and goes perfectly with your wonderful art. I am blessed that you chose to share this with us at Art Journal Journey, too.
Wonderful artwork! Happy Friday!

Ohhh Tracey thank you so much for showing how you created this fabulous piece. The two hands making the birds is brilliant! I am going to have to locate some of those Luminance pencils. Those are amazing. Good luck I hope you win.
A fabulous page Tracey, the colours look stunning. I had to look twice at the hand stamp, it really did look like birds.

Lovely pieces!
Nice work, luv the 2 crops best, they will make great ATCs
much love...
The texture you created with the deli paper is wonderful, the sky, the tree, the sun/moon look exquisite in the background - and those hands for birds are so clever! The face is gorgeous (I have not heard the term 'bangs' for many years, it made me smile) and you have coloured her hair so beautifully. A truly fabulous creation and the sentiment is just perfect! Hugs, Anne xx
