Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #146 ~ Anything Goes

 Happy Friday everyone, 

Time for a new Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #146 

There's a Paperbabe prize to be won up to £20* 

for one randomly chosen participant... HERE

Today my Design Team project is a page from my journal..

Blog visitors will already know I have a love for portraiture and flowers 

this piece is very much back to basics coloured using just pencil and paint. 

First stamping out her face, her hair was drawn by tracing around a template. 

Given a floral crown she is painted with fresco paint then coloured with pencil.

Given wings you may be led to believe she is a Fairy but please do not be 

mistaken for she's a Butterfly Girl ready to spread her wings and be seen.

Look forward to seeing your 

Anything Goes Creations. 

Stay safe & Creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

 Hello creative Friends, 

I hope you are all keeping well??

A quick post today, making use of another unused background. 

This ones created using torn masking tape and offcuts of lace.

Dressed with Lisa Jones Wild Blooms #1 & #2 die cuts and the 

words *Stand Tall* taken from an Art by Marlene sticker book. 

One single flower rises up from a blanket of silhouetted wildflower.

Wishing you all a safe & happy weekend,

Keep creative everyone.

Discover.. Flowers

Hello creative friends, 

How are you..?? 

Sharing a journal page today which I started just before 

Spring first sprung but never got round to completing..

No how to do's or explanations just close up's of those

Stamperia moulded pastes, stencils and rice papers..

Fuschia is not really my colour but I couldn't help paint those 

moulded roses to match those upon the rice paper background.

I love how the perched bird comes to life when painted, 

as if she's stopped to take in their sweet flowery aroma..

The stenciled word *Discover trimmed with buttons 

and lace sits above hand painted white fluffy clouds.

a keyword as birdsong amplifies whilst air traffic takes a break. 

We've all had more time to discover things of new and old 

while keeping our family, friends and neighbours safe...

Wishing you all a a super weekend.

Take care everyone. 

Creative wishes

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

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
