Paperbabe Challenge #82 ~ THEME *STARS*

Hello Creative Friends

It's Friday and time for another Paperbabe Challenge.
This fortnight the theme is *STARS* we'd love you to share

your *STAR* creations over HERE on the Paperbabe Stamps blog.

There's a prize for one Lucky random winner so pop on over, 

read those rules and see what the Team have created just for you.

Here's my take on the Theme *STARS*

On to an A3 Journal page I traced around the Standard Torso and Fairy Wings 

templates, lay down lots of colourful Neocolor II's and spritzed with water 

to help those colours mix, move and merge around the page.

The Head template was traced, features stamped, coloured and cut out.

The Curly Hair and fringe template has also been traced separately 

ready to be fussy cut.

Stamping the Doodle *STARS* onto the background I rubbed crystal stickles glitter glue 

over the page with my finger to add some sparkle. I then used the Curly Fringe Hair

template to manipulate exactly where I wanted the hair to be before tracing around.

Those traced areas of hair behind the face were painted with white Gesso

and a hairline drawn onto the face making it easier to position those hair strands.

With those hair strands cut out and glued into place 

the pointy ear is lifted up peeping out from the hair.

Paper napkins have been collaged to the base of the page with 

extra's backed onto card and layered on top to add dimension.

Drawing in those finer details of my Fantasy Fairy using Neocolor II's, 

a fussy cut crown (included in the Fairy Wings template) along with 

beaded string adds that final detail.

I really enjoyed losing myself creating this piece and with limited craft supplies

at the moment due to a little home improvement it really does set those

creative cogs in motion.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead

and Thank you so much for visiting.

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.

Creative Hugs & Wishes
