Paperbabe Stamps - New Release - Peony Stamp Set

Hiya I have some Brilliant News.... Paperbabe Stamps has re-released the Peony Stamp Set but this time in Clear Polymer and Bigger!!! and we all know that Bigger is Better!!!

Today I am sharing with you my project using the new set which includes a large peony, a bud and 2 leaves, all separate so you can add and layer up as you like.

First I stamped the Peony and the leaves onto the front of a 6x6 cardblank which I coloured using pencils. I then stamped the peony 3 more times onto scrap card and coloured them using pencils, I then fussy cut out the layers of the peony and decoupaged them up using foam pads to add dimension. I stamped the 'You Are Beautiful' You Quote stamp into the top corner of the card using archival ink. To finish I inked the card edges using 'Fired Brick' Distress Ink.

This is a quick little make but was a lot of fun to create and would be easy enough to create many times for batch cardmaking or could also be altered to use as invitations etc

Introducing 'MDF Portrait Media Blanks - Flick & Fringe' @ Paperbabe Stamps

Hiya and Welcome to my Blog Today

This Week the Design Team are showcasing the New MDF Portrait Media Blanks - Please visit the Paperbabe Stamps Blog to see Kim's gorgeous make and links to other Team Members Blog Posts - so much Yummy Inspiration

Today is my turn to Show my Make using the 'Flick & Fringe' variation

I had a lot of fun creating this and getting all painty. First I painted all the pieces using Clear Gesso, once dry I then painted 2 coats of White Chalky Paint

Next I painted the Face, Torso/Neck and a spacing disc using a basic flesh tone I mixed using Acryllic Paint

I then painted a base coat of a Lilac colour I mixed using acrylic paint

These base layers were a starting point for painting all the details onto the corect areas of the Portrait

I used Acryllic paints to paint the shading and details onto the hair pieces. I used the 'Mini Doll Face' stamp set to plot out her facial features which I then blended several flesh tones to add highlights a details to her face. Once dry I then painted in her Eyes, Eyebrows, Mouth

For her Blouse I stamped the 'Peony' stamp from the 'Oriental Zen' stamp set onto the prepared Blouse Pieces to create a Floral Pattern which I then painted using Acrylic Paints. Once all the pieces were fully dry I then used Tacky PVA Glue to fix them all together - I decided to mount her onto the Stand but is the option to hang on the wall instead using the hanging holes at the back
