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

New Red Rubber Stamps Introduction over at Paperbabe Stamps

Hiya today we Introduce you to the New Red Rubber Stamps over at Paperbabe Stamps BLOG

You may have met these Characters Before but now they are available in Red Rubber too so really the best of all worlds, Clear Polymer, Digi Images and Red Rubber

The first of my DT Project's is using one of the new Red Rubber Stamps

Mayleedee

I really love this cute little Image but now she is available in Red Rubber too there are even more possibilites to your Creativity

I have stamped Mayleedee with Black ink and coloured her using Copic Markers

I chose the Papers first and then colour matched my Markers to the paper

I used a Rose Paper which is really pretty and a Rose Embossing Folder for the layer underneath which I have then picked up the embossed detail using a felted Ink pad. 

I used Paper Roses and a Leaf punch for embellishments

The Sentiment is from the 'Fabulous Everything' sentiment stamp set

Then for my next DT project I chose to use one of the other Character's who is also now available in Red Rubber

Mayleedee Kimono

I created a backing paper for this card using the Flower from the 'Oriental Zen' stamp set, I repeat stamped this pretty flower onto super smooth cardstock so that I could colour with Copic Markers, I first coloured over the whole cardstock using YR000 to give a soft background colour, then I coloured the flowers and leaves.

I coloured Mayleedee Kimono using shades of the same colours in Copic Markers 

I used more stamps from 'Oriental Zen' to stamp around the outside of the main Image to create a topper. I inked over this pattern using 2 shade of Distress Ink to match in with the colour of the leaves.

For the sentiment I heat embossed 3 layers of embossing powder over layers of embossing ink) and then pressed the sentiment into the hot embossing powder - this is something that can be done using Red Rubber as the heat doesnt damage the stamp

This embossed panel looks like a Metal Embellishment 

I do hope you like my cards and will visit again soon, Don't forget to visit Paperbabe Stamps BLOG to see more makes using the new stamps by Kim and the Design Team
