Paperbabe Challenge ~ Flower/Garden

Happy Friday Creative Friends

It's Challenge time again over at Paperbabe Stamps 

and what better way can there be than to start the creative 

ball rolling by offering a Flowers/Garden theme Challenge.

Here's my Paperbabe DT creation and how it came to be... 

Onto a plain cushion cover I scraped on fabric paint, mark 

making by pushing those fabric paints through Paperbabe Stencils. 

Those pops of yellow remind me of bursts of springtime sunshine!

Stamping the Doll Face Stamps onto fabric gives strong 

guide lines perfect for a little embroidery.

The large Peony taken from the Peony & Bud set has been stamped 

onto rice paper and transferred onto the cushion cover using 

a washable fabric glue and painted with fabric paints.

I made a Peony fabric brooch embellished with beads and lace.

Sewing the embroidered face onto the cushion I added two rice paper 

Peonies to balance the design with the brooch taking centre stage.  

A flower border embroidered at the bottom helps to ground her, 

completing my Paperbabe mixed media Springtime cushion.

We'd love you to share your Flower/Garden designs over HERE,

Pop on over there's a Paperbabe prize to be won 

for one lucky participant.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

What's on your workdesk Wednesday ~ 516

Hello Creative Friends,

Hope you all had a great Easter? 

Here in the UK we were blessed with sunshine what a glorious 

few days we've had, the past week has flown by and again it's 

Wednesday & time to share what's on our workdesks 

over at the stamping ground thanks to Julia it's 

WoywW #516

Having given myself the week off there's nothing creative to 

share but here's my latest Scrawlr box that arrived yesterday. 

Glad to say I have not got those pastel Ecoline's...

The larger canvas I was painting last week was the bathroom 😁

Did a little tiling too... or should I say recovering of tiles. 

Those stickers do a grand job of cheering up the place.

...and finally making sure there's something for our feathered friends 

after the wood pigeons and magpies have had their fill of the feed. 

I've been placing new feeders around the garden, 

they appear to love this little hidey-hole.

Sorry to those I missed last week..

I'll be sure to visit this week.

I'm sure there's lots to catch up on.

Take care everyone & stay safe..

Hugs Tracey xx

What's on your Workdesk Wednesday 515

Hello everyone ...

It's Wednesday & time to share what's on our workdesks. 

No creative desk from me today as i've been painting a larger canvas 

using up half pots of paint and catching up with jobs well overdue.

Thank you 

for your supportive words last week regarding our beloved 

Dog your all so kind. The house feels very empty without her 😢

Counting down the days till I can eat these again, help yourself 

but save me one please, I could do with the energy boost.

I'll catch up with you over at the stamping ground for 

WoywW 515 when i've finished those jobs of the day 

and washed the paint from my brushes and hair.

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter.
I've heard the weather in the UK is warming up..

hope it doesn't melt my eggs 😁

Take good care of yourselves & each other.

Hugs Tracey xx
