chosen participant, so please pop on over and share

For today's DT Project I sharing two more collage postcards

Torn coffee stained stencilled papers with stamped and fussy cut 

conkers and leaves from the Paperbabe Completely Conkers stamp set. 

Every time I see these conkers it always reminds me of the wrapped 

knuckles I'd get playing conkers in the school playground as a child.

and i'd always be found guilty of a pocket full of crunchy leaves 😁

Hope to see your 

Anything Goes creations HERE..

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #128 ~ Dimension

 Hello creative friends

This fortnights Paperbabe Challenge theme is *Dimension*  

however you depict the theme come share your dimensional 

creations with the team HERE for a chance to win a prize. 

*You DO NOT have to use Paperbabe stamps in your design but if 

you do it doubles the prize pot for one randomly selected winner*

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

Using scraps of left over Paperbabe stencilled paper saved from 

projects, paste test sheets or various mixed media, I layered 

torn strips to a journal page to create a simple background. 

A stamped and painted Dinky Female face and torso is given a layered 

hair style using more of those stencilled scraps cutting out a mix of 

styles using the Bunches Template set creating dimension to her hair. 

Toning down the existing colour of her layered hair using gesso 

she blends into the background resting peacefully on Dinky hands. 

Recycled lace, pearl embellishments and a fibreboard substrate 

add extra texture and dimension completing my journal creation.

Look forward to seeing your 

*#128 Dimensional Challenge Creations* 

Take care & stay safe everyone..

Paperbabe #79 Sketch Challenge

Hello Creative Friends

It's Friday Yayyyyy... 

..weekend i'm so looking forward to you after the busiest of weeks..!

It's time for another Challenge at Paperbabe Stamps.

This fortnight we are asking you to use the sketch below and be inspired.

The "Paperbabe stamps" can represent any sentiment.

Use the shapes as prompts, flip, turn and create your own design. 

There's a prize to be won for one random winner.

Here's what I got up to using the Sketch, along with those How to Do's.

Drawing around the Portrait Head and Torso Template I used the markings 

on the template to guide and help me to stamp those Doll Face features 

exactly where they needed to go.

Water-soluble and permanent pencil are used to colour my Paperbabe

with her hair line drawn free hand. Die cutting out her face will form 

the large circle from the sketch prompt.

With the die cut portrait mounted on to a larger die cut circle

this will hide the hole it has left when remounted over the aperture.

Two strips of paper are decorated in gems and left over lace 

to represent part of the sketch prompt..

With the *Your Sparkle* sentiment stamped boldly into the corner of the 

postcard it was time to layer all those sketch elements up and display them 

on to a lace, gesso'd and crackle glaze white space Journal page.

...but I think I need to stitch and distress the edge of that postcard first..!

The portrait design on the white mount area is continued to hide it.

Not happy with the colour match of her neck on the layered circle due 

to using a different cut of card (Silly me..) I decided the best thing to do 

was hide it and give her a Vintage style choker necklace.

With the Sketch piece glued onto the journal page I extended

the line and colour of the hair letting it flow from postcard to page.

The natural lace grips hold and absorbs the colour yet upon the simplicity of the
white gesso resists the watercolour almost washing it away from the background.

My Paperbabe Sketch is complete.

I love how the white space envelops her..

Thank you so much for popping on by..

I look forward to seeing your interpretations over HERE.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Take Care & Stay Creative
