Challenge #118 ~ Paperbabe Stamps *Anything Goes*

Hello creative friends,

welcome to May and the start of a 

New Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #118 

Anything goes is this fortnights theme so pop on over check out 

what the DT have been up to and share your journey with the team. 

Today i'm sharing an ATC, one I created some time ago...

If you visit or follow my blog you can probably tell this 

Paperbabe Female Dinky Stamp is my personal favourite.. 

Stamped onto watercolour card she's painted in 

watercolour and coloured with Luminance pencil's. 

Freestyling her hair adding detail using a fine liner pen, 

the sentiment is taken from the just because stamp set. 

Part of an ATC collection I use for personal inspiration...

We hope you will join us over @ Paperbabe Stamps 

and share your Anything Goes creations over HERE

Stay safe & keep creative everyone

(((Hugs))) Tracey xx

Picture Inspiration ~ Paperbabe Stamps blog Challenge #111

Hello Creative Friends,

Time for a new Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #111
this fortnight we ask you to use the picture below to
inspire your stamped creations.



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

Using a page taken from my New Junk Journal for 2020 I
painted over the text using white gesso to create white space.
Stamping a Flourish taken from the new Flourishing Hair Stamp set
dots of colour similar to the prompt add interest around the page.

Stamping one if the flowers taken from the *NEW* Flourishing Hair 

Stamp set on to scribbled dots of colour this is such a quick 

and easy way to create.

I used the NEW Flourishing Hair Mask aperture to trace around a 

Paperbabe Dinky Female Face i'd found partially coloured. 

Cut out she will fit perfectly into that stamped flourish...

Words taken from the Flourish and Grow set add a statement.

Cutting and pasting the face into the flourishing hair stamp a 

wash of watercolour creates her hair with the cut and formed 

flowers glued in place helping frame this Paperbabe design.

I do hope you can join us this fortnight. 

Pop on over HERE there's lot's more to see.. 

and a prize of course for one very lucky winner!!

Sending creative Hugs 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. 

Please pop on over HERE to see what the rest of the 

Design Team have created and come join in with the 

Paperbabe Stamps #105 Sketch Challenge

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ #104 Movie Night

Happy Friday Creative Friends

It's Movie Night over at Paperbabe Stamps this fortnight 

where we ask you to share your fan art, movie memorabilia 

or just interpret the Movie Night blog challenge theme 

any way your imagination and creativity takes you...

Here's what I got up to on a rainy day 

with one Actor and two movie characters in mind.

  

Stamping out both Male Dinky Face Stamps I used movie 

memorabilia images as reference to guide my pencil work. 

The stamps do all the hard work for us leaving the 

fun of transforming those faces how ever we choose...

White gesso is painted to mask out some of the stamped area helping 

me to reshape the face and extend the detail using pencil and pen.

Never sure if my pencil work is finished i'm happy with these boys..

Johnny Depp as *Jack Sparrow & Edward Scissor Hands*

A *DREAM* Movie night for me.. now where's the popcorn..?

Come and share your Movie Night creations with us over 

HERE at Paperbabe Stamps and join in with our Challenge, 

there's one Paperbabe prize up for grabs every fortnight..!! 

Wishing you all a super weekend

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ #102 *Anything Goes*

Hello everyone, 

I'm sharing another scheduled post today and a reminder that 

Paperbabe Stamps challenge this fortnight is Anything goes. 

So pop on over HERE and share your creativity 

there's still one more week to play.

Here's some gifts ideas created using the 

Rose Layers Stamp Set.

I love working with plain rice paper, 

stamping and gently adding colour. 

it can transform so many different 

things by simply gluing into place.

This cotton bag is full of the favourite sweets of 

someone very special who turned 70 this week.

Using left over rice paper I made a gift tag.

and gathered up some scraps from a previous Paperbabe make

to create a coordinating card..

Pretty gifts using one stamp set, 

I'd love to see these in all different colours.

Don't forget to come and share your creations.. 

There's always a prize for one randomly chosen 

winner over at Paperbabe Stamps Challenge blog..

Wishing you a safe & creative weekend 

Hugs Tracey xx 

Paperbabe Stamps ~ #89 Picture Inspiration

Hello Creative Friends,

Welcome to Winter..

It's time for the last Paperbabe Stamps challenge of 2018.

With the busy festive season upon us we have given you a picture  inspiration
... a Wintery scene that some of you may have already witnessed this year.

We'd love you to be inspired by what you see and share it with us over HERE..

There's a prize for one lucky creative who cares to share their creativity.

Here's my take on the challenge and some very quick How to Do's..

I love those rich reds within the picture above and I knew this festive napkin 

would help create my journal background. Glued onto an A3 page I used the 

Mixed Media Face Templates and Beanie Hats and Pom Poms Templates 

from Paperbabe Stamps to create my Santa Baby image.

Stamping her features using the Female Face Stamps don't do what I did and shake 

a full pot of gesso before opening it, lucky for me I was able to salvage that splodge 

and work it into my page using the left over backing from the napkin.

Those double gates really remind me of the entrance to those large park grounds. 

Not happy with the first Winter outfit I sketched in another, blocked out any

unwanted image using white gesso and then lost myself within the painting.

Fibre paste added dimension to the pom pom and hat trim 

with speckles of white posca pen creating a sprinkle of snow time.

Completing my picture inspiration journal page and sent with 

"Good will and Seasons Greeting to one and all."

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and

enjoy the magic of the season.

Creative Hugs

Tracey xx
