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

Beautiful piece Tracey, love how you combined all the elements to make such a great composition. Sorry you have a lot of troubles just now, and hope they soon pass. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
OMGosh, Tracey. This is out of this world. I agree the wings in the background appear to belong too this gorgeous beauty. I simply adore how the butterflies dance around her and the tag. This is an incredible entry and I'm thrilled you chose to include Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey, too. I love that you are so supportive of AJJ.
Oh My! Tracey, this is absolutely gorgeous! Those wings definitely belong to her! Thank you so much for this entry at Try It On Tuesday! Hugs, Chrisx
I do like how you shaded that big butterfly Tracey. It pops right off that texture, which is pretty divine also. Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic page at Art Journal Journey. It is really a great addition and I appreciate your support. Happy almost weekend. Hugs-Erika

Much🎨love
I too like how she looks like a little beautiful fairy , so stunningly painted as usual, dear Tracey . Everything here is so beautiful, having that soft romantic look , and then the qoute of power , so love it my friend. Big hugs from me- xxxx
My goodness! What a versatile and eclectic artist you are! I LOVE this! Thank you for your sweet and encouraging comment. <3 You made my day! :D
I liked the image with the butterfly. It's a reminder to leave some bits out and let the viewer's eyes fill in. And a lesson in subtlety. LeeAnna
Wow, Tracey! Another absolute stunner ;-) I love the way you created this from your leftovers and cutting out your girl's face with a tag die was pure genius. They're interesting looking stamps... and your colouring is wonderful. I think the thing I like best is the virtual lack of colour, apart from on the flutterbies and the girl - such an understated effect but the contrast is so effective. It really is a gorgeous page; I love it. You are so inspiring!
Thanks so much for sharing with us at TIOT.

Oh my! I bet you could hear the big sigh that I just let out on seeing that beautiful face Tracey! You really do create THE most exquisite faces, I am in total awe. The shading on her face is wonderful and her hair - wow, it looks so incredible, so real.... sigh again! The wings really do like they belong to her too. This really is a beautiful and very creative masterpiece of a journal page!

p.s Thanks for sharing at Try it on Tuesday.
Tracy these are just gorgeous. You have a real talent for putting texture and color together.
I love faces! I strive to draw and paint faces, but I never come up with anything remotely like yours. This is beautiful. The colouring is superb. The way you decided to cut the face into a tag is something I have not seen before and to include this in your journal page which is quite devoid of colour is simply stunning. All the elements blend together, the butterfly wings are , well, just perfect.
An absolutely beautiful piece of artwork.
hugs, Neet xx
Lovely. Thank you for joining us at TioT.

A lovely journal page.
Interesting texture. Sorry being so late stopping in.

wow, how fun and interesting. Love the checkerboard stencil. I never seen this in Sweden. :(
And I love the finished piece and the words.
How cool! Thank you for your comment on my blog! - Irma
Such a lovely piece of artwork, Tracey! Beautiful hair and wings. The chequerboard is one of my favourites in this artwork and of course the words :)
