Introducing - 'Bottle of' Stamp Set - from Paperbabe

Hiya and Welcome to my Blog

We have an Amazing New Stamp Set from Paperbabe Stamps Esty Shop to show you today 'Bottle of' and also some gorgeous Mixed Media stencils to match

I have had a lot of fun playing with this lovely set this week

 

below are a few ideas for how to put the bottles together 

 

I have been thinking up all kinds of magical and dragon potion ideas, I should have written them down lol

 

Here is my Project for today using the gorgeous stamps - I was humming 'Love Potion Number 9' the song from the film which is what inspired my make which I am going to frame for my Kraft Korner

 I used a Grey Board Plaque that I painted using white gesso, I then placed a piece of music score on top and painted white gesso over that to create a nice background for my watercolours. I stamped the bottle and stoppers repeating 9 times using masking paper to make them look like they are behind each other, I then watercoloured them like they are filled with magically potions. I stamped the swirling smokecoming out of one of the bottles which I handpainted over using watercolours. I stamped the label and the Love word onto the bottle fronts using the mask again. 

I handpainted the words 'Love Potion Number 9' and the numbers on the bottles. 

I then stamped one of the speckle stamps from the Spritz&Speckle stamp sets around the smoke, I also stamped bubbles using the dot outline stamp from the 'Birthday Wishes' stamp set.

I inked though the New 'Crackle' mixed media stencil using black soot distress ink.

I inked the edges using more of the black soot and painted shadows under the bottles to finish.

I will be back tomorrow with another project using the stamps with the new MDF Substrates that match perfectly

Paperbabe - PopArt Portrait - Midway Challenge Post

Hiya and Welcome to my Blog Today

Yay its the Easter Holidays so loads of time off with my Kiddies - I do love having them all at home with me - we have lots of fun things planned! 

But for now it's time to say 'I'm A Paperbabe DT Girl' again after a short break - I'm so glad to be back and today I am sharing with you my project for this Fortnight's Challenge over on the Paperbabe Stamps Blog which started last friday this is my Midway Reminder Post

Here is my Project for the Challenge

 

I picked the green's, pinks and white from the Picture and decided to use my Distress Inks as watercolours

I used some of the Mixed Media Templates to create my Portrait. 'Mini Portrait - Wavy Bunches'

'Mini Portrait Face - Head & Torso' - I drew through the templates using a pencil in case of any errors and to be able to rub out where necessary, I lined up the head angled to the side. I then stamped the eyes, nose and mouth using light grey ink and the 'Female Face Mini Stamp Set'. Once I was happy with all the features I then drew over all the lines using a waterproof Pigma Micron fine pen.

I watercoloured her skin using 'Tattered Rose', 'Spun Sugar' and 'Victorian Velvet' Distress Inks. I layered the colours over each other to create shading and definition.

I painted the background using 'Spun Sugar', 'Worn Lipstick' and 'Stormy Sky' Distress Inks. I inked through one of the Mixed Media Stencils - 'Polka Dot's 2.5mm' with Stormy Sky Distress Ink and blending foam to create the PopArt Dots style

Her hair I painted using 'Peeled Paint' and 'Black Soot' distress inks, layering up and feathering to create the strands and shading effects 

I framed my Portrait into a pretty white frame ive had sitting empty for a while
