Paperbabe Picture inspiration #81 ~ Pebble Cairns

Hello Creative Friends.

It's time for another challenge over at Paperbabe Stamps
and this fortnight we are asking you to use the picture to
inspire your creativity and share it with us over HERE.

Beach Pebble stacking is a mindful activity which requires patience and focus.
Harmless to the environment as nature reclaims them when the tide comes to call.


I've used the calmness of the colours from the stack to create a doodle
book and introduce elements upon it to represent part of the image.

Here's those *How to Do's*...

Onto an A4 piece of Kraft Card I have layered calico and lace,
sewn into place and painted over colour using distress crayons.


From the *Like Clockwork* set I stamped the face and numbers,
The numbers fit perfectly inside the minute marker stamp.


With the Isometric stamp printed onto the calico back cover I secured
it onto the Kraft card with stitching and used Paperbabe leftovers from
previous creations to embellish, including stamped rice paper and tea bags.


With the Kraft Card clock face trimmed and sewn in place the cogs 
and gears are the perfect fit to stamp onto the MDF buttons. 


The words Inspire me have been stamped onto a used Teabag smeared in 
gesso and glued onto the front of the cover along with the pointing hand 
stamp included within the *Like Clockwork* set. 


Stamped onto rice paper the word because has been adhered to the back..
BECAUSE we do not need to have a reason to be creative do we.. ?
A blank canvas to add more, scrawl or paint upon.


Filled with a selection of papers tied in with string the ability to express is unlimited.
Watercolour, drawing, stamp, Kraft and black core card have all been included.
I've used the isometric stamp as a guide for some mindful colouring.


A Cogs stack to resemble those Cairn Pebbles completes my 
Mixed Media Paperbabe Doodle Book..


I'm using this as my calming space, something much needed at the moment,
with the hope of keeping everything within it monochrome or neutral.

Thank you for sharing your time, it surely is precious.
I hope you too can join in and share your take on the Picture challenge.

Count your blessings...Together.

Happy Friday everyone..

I've not had much time for creativity this past week but managed 
to snatch a couple of hours today to complete this journal page.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth are our hosts over at Art Journal Journey
with this months theme being *Count your Blessings*

This found journal page full of paste, stencils & DOx's made the perfect backdrop.


Hubby & I will be celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary next week and 
ALL these stencilled words remind me how blessed I am that we are still *Together*
 After meeting nearly 30 years ago we can still be as silly, weird or wierd 
as the stencil states just like those early days... it's extraordinary!


Here's what I got up too..

Onto Linen paper I pushed modelling paste through an AALL & Create 
stencil. I find this paste leaves a fantastic flexible surface to work on. 

Torn around the edges I painted over the page with a thin layer of Gesso 
and used watercolour pencils to layer up those flower colours.


When happy with the colour blend I've sewn on some 
lace remnants along with a handful of beads.


These two hearts are from That's Crafty left over from a past project.
Coloured to mimic the colours within the page I let the lace overlap 
adding a little key & button embellishment.


The initials J & T gave it that personal touch...


With the embellished panel glued to the page Distress crayons 
are used to blend in extra colour completing my Journal page.

The colours of these flowers just remind me of my 
Summertime Wedding Bouquet. 


Thank you for stopping by..
It's been a very eventful week for me,

I'm looking forward to having some down time and
catching up with you all over the weekend.

Creative Wishes
