What's on your Wednesday Workdesk 589

Hello everyone 
how are you all doing??

Even though my little part of England is back in lockdown 
normal service resumes @ the Stamping Ground for me at last... 

Hurahhhh!!!

I know my desk looks disorderly but there's quite a lot of 
creativity going on in this corner just can't share it yet. 


In between the busyness of August every spare hour was spent dismantling, 
recycling and responsibly disposing of the contents of the old playhouse. 
A mighty task and one at first we wished we'd never started..


but one month later it's been transformed into a restful place


a shady space to sit and embellish my latest fabric lavender pebbles. 


Just need to sort the lawn out now so little Freya can enjoy it too..


Look forward to seeing WoyWW 589 
over @ Julia's Stamping Ground

Take care & Stay Safe

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #127 ~ Classic Blue Picture inspiration

Hello everyone 

It's time for a new Paperbabe Stamps Challenge

This fortnight we give you a Picture for inspiration.
Use the Picture below as your prompt and let that 
Pantone Classic Blue of 2020 inspire you.


Here's my Design Team creation and how it came to be. 

Working with an unfinished journal page displaying a stamped 
Dinky Female Face BLUE is one colour I could never be without 
in my colour palette, I find it extremely calming.


Layers of blue lace add direction and simulate the flow of her hair. 
 

Adding fibre paste through the Iso Fun Stencil. As Sapphire is 
Septembers birthstone I picked out the ring in the prompt adding blue 
glass beads and a dusting of Gold mica liberally amongst the blue.


A difficult shape to photograph I found it interesting that the Blue appears 
much darker and her skin paler through the lens than they actually are...


so here's a close up of her beauty unleashed from the shadows 
along side those brave words, completing my mixed media page.


There's a prize of up to £20 to spend in the Paperbabe Stamps Shop, 
I do hope you can pop along HERE and join in with this months 

Take care & Stay safe 

Creative wishes

Creative Artiste Design Team ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes

Hello creative Friends, 

I'm so happy to reveal today that I have 
joined the Creative Artiste Design Team. 

A monthly challenge where 
and a place to share a mixed media 
creation along side the Creative Artiste Team. 

Thank you Andree and the team for inviting me..


Here's a walk through my September project and how it came to be.. 

Autumn my favourite of Seasons the warmth of it's colours are so cosy. 
Taking a postcard sized piece of mixed media card I painted a scene 
stamping wildflower stems in the forefront adding to it's atmosphere.


Sanding down a deep edge frame leaves are stamped onto the exposed wood 
and painted with the same colour palette. To add interest to the front of 
the frame texture paste is pushed through a stencil and left to harden.


Painting the textured edge in complimentary bronze, dots of glitter 
glue add the final touch of detail to the glass window protecting it. 

Glistens like morning dew from every angle,


my mixed media frame is complete and now ready to display.


Pop on over HERE and see what the Creative Artiste DT 
have created this month, we'd love to see your 
Mixed Media creations over @ Creative Artiste's 

Wishing you all a 
happy, safe and creative day 

Tracey xx
