Watercolour and You Quotes - Paperbabe

Hiya and welcome to my Blog

Today over at Paperbabe Stamps Blog we are introducing you to the New You Quote Stamps in red rubber that will be available to buy over at the Paperbabe Etsy Store on Saturday 

I have used 2 of the 'You' set of Quotes in my watercoloured piece I teamed them up with the 'Because' from the 'Just Because' clear stamp set

I have used a mix of traditional watercolours and twinkling h2o's - the doll face picture was drawn using the 'Doll Face' Clear Stamp Set and the 'Portait Head & Torso' and the 'Short & Fringe' Mixed Media Templates 

The background I created using 3 shade of green/aqua h2o's and some table salt sprinkled on and left to dry

I added shading to her hair using a dark brown copic marker

I do hope you like my Project and will head on over to the Paperbabe Stamps Blog to see the gorgeous creation by our Kim and follow the links to the Design Team blogs to see the beautiful creations from all the girls xx

Pink Haired Pixie - Paperbabe

Hiya and welcome to my Blog - we have a New Challenge over at the Paperbabe Stamps Blog

The theme is Hair - it can be wild style hair, funky coloured hair, big hair - as long at the Hair is the feature of the project then anything goes....

Here is my Design Team Project for the Challenge

I created a Portrait using the gorgeous Mixed Media Templates 'Profile face & Torso' and 'Wavy Hair' (I've drawn the templates in reverse to be different) - I used the 'Profile Face' clear stamp set to but I drew the pixie ear in reverse using the stamp as a guide - I created a Pixie with big wavy hair which I coloured using Copic Markers - I chose varying shades of Red/Pink to create her Shiney Pink Hair - this is the first time I've coloured such a large picture using Copic Markers, it took best part of a whole day to colour but I enjoyed every moment of bringing her to life - I coloured the background using tones of grey marker the bubbles I created using a blender pen to remove the colour and a grey to add shadows

I masked off her body so i could stamp a tattoo on her arm - I used the 'Peony' from 'Oriental Zen' clear stamp set - and the wording is a sneaky peek of something new arriving at Paperbabe Stamps Etsy Store soon 

Thank You for visiting my Blog today and I hope to see your entries over at the Challenge - brilliant prize for the Winner xxx
