Challenge #116 ~ Paperbabe Stamps Birthdays Theme

Hello everyone, 

It's Paperbabe Stamps #116 Challenge time 

with this fortnights theme *Birthdays*... 

Everyday is a Birthday and I can think of no better time than 

NOW to share the love and appreciation of a friend or loved one 

by creating a little something to celebrate their special day. 

Here's what I created and how it came to be.. 

I came across this distress oxide background amongst my scraps pile. 

 I love how those cracks appear so strong through the crackle paste 

when pushed through one of my favourite Paperbabe Iso Fun Stencil.

The colours were a perfect match for my latest Paperbabe design 

using the Dinky 3/4 View stamp teamed with the Micro Fringe template.

stamping flowers from the Flourishing Hair Set help adorn her outfit 

with a little bit of bling to balance that scrummy gold crackle paste..

As if she awaits her destiny this A5 mixed media journal page may well 

turn into a card topper as the Birthday Wishes sentiment quietly awaits.

Come see what the rest of the DT have created to inspire you 

and *Please* share your stamped Birthday creations with the team 

over HERE you DO NOT have to use Paperbabe Stamps to join in...

Stay safe & keep creative everyone 

Sending light & good wishes your way

Paperbabe Stamps blog challenge ~ #105 Sketch

Hello Creative Friends, 

It's time for a new fortnightly challenge 

over at Paperbabe Stamps.

Use the sketch below as your guide, flip it, turn it 

be inspired by it. The word *Paperbabe Stamps* can represent 

any sentiment and the flowers an embellishment or image.

Paperbabe Stamps #105 Sketch Challenge

Here's my Design Team interpretation..

First drawing the outline of the sketch prompt in my journal 

I've masked off the lower half of the design and blended with D'oxs.

Paste pushed through the Paperbabe Knit Stencil adds interest. 

Whilst waiting for the paste to dry I stamped out the 

Female dinky Profile *Right* stamps, doodled in her 

hair and coloured with alcohol markers and pencil. 

Masking tape removed, words taken from stamp sets 

completely Conkers and Sparkle Bright are stamped 

above the knitted stencil background. I do love 

how the paste absorbs the oxides as it dries...

With the dinky face panel cut to size 

I think she'd make a great book mark don't you..?

Autumn is my favourite of the seasons but it's been dampened 

with far too much rain here in the UK. Here's wishing we see 

the true colours of Autumn before Winter arrives.

Design Team have created and come join in with the

Paperbabe Challenge ~ #98 Anything Goes

Hello Everyone,

Busy days are making my window for online time very small 

at the moment, I'm looking forward to some downtime very soon.

So today i'm sharing a piece created back in June 

using the new Paperbabe Female Face Dinky Set 

*It's Paperbabe Challenge time over HERE* 

with this fortnights theme being ANYTHING GOES*

So why not pop on over to the Paperbabe Stamps Blog 

and share your artistic creations with us... 

Here's a fun technique some have seen me play with before..

Using StazOn to stamp the Female Face Dinky image onto 

Craft Metal a sharpie pen was used to draw around the 

Dinky Hair templates mixing and matching different styles.

A fine ball tool is used to scribe around those outlines then 

marks made on both sides to emboss and add extra detail.

Using the dinky crown stencil from the dinky accessories 

I traced, coloured using Liquid Chrome then cut out that crown.

Adhered to the metal using strong glue diamonds add extra sparkle. 

Alcohol markers add a suggestion of colour that can be changed anytime..

The alphabet outline stamp set helps spell the word princess.

stamped onto a wooden base a small chalk board has been covered 

with the embossed metal sheet and then slotted into the base.

A fun little activity and a great way to 

display those Dinky Face Stamps. 

I do hope you can find time to share your 

*Anything Goes creations over HERE*

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend. 

Creative Hugs 

Tracey xx
