'MayLeeDee' - Thank You - for Paperbabe

Hiya and Welcome to my Blog Post Today for Paperbabe Stamps

Wowser this year is flying by now and cannot believe we are so near the end of May already - My house has been crazy this week with packing my 14year old Ashleigh off to Ardeche in France and with my 15 3/4year old William sitting his final GCSE's he leaves school June 17th - its all getting a bit real here now

Now on to todays Project for the Paperbabe Stamps Challenge that starts today - The Theme this time is a Sketch! which is always a lot of fun as you have to create a card/project that follows the theme. You can flip the sketch, reverse it and use it anyway you like as long as we can see the basic sketch within your card/project - the Sketch we are using is below...

The Prize this time as always is a Fabby one so please do visit the Paperbabe Stamps Blog to check out all the details, to get inspiration from the Beautiful Design Team Projects and to enter your make - you have to be in it to win it as they say 

Here is my Card for the Challenge...

I reversed the Sketch just for fun and chose circular dies to create a topper for the main focal point using the lovely 'MayLeeDee' clear stamp

I chose some pretty papers and cardstocks to create my card-front - the torn edge piece was originally the packaging from a stamp in my own stash but it was far too pretty to throw away. I'm a bit of a frugal crafter and will use anything that is pretty as i cannot bear to waste anything where possible

I coloured 'MayLeeDee' using my Copic Markers (they were feeling a bit neglected bless them as I havent coloured with them at all this year) - I coloured her using colours to match with my papers i had used

I stamped the 'Thank You' red rubber sentiment stamp using light grey ink directly onto the backing paper on the card-front

Here is a Closer look at 'MayLeeDee'...

I just love love love colouring Hair and had forgotten how much I love my Copics

Please do enter the Paperbabe Challenge - Kim & the Design Team all look forward to seeing your entries

Thank You so much for visiting my Blog today - please do visit again soon to see more makes from me

I chose to use 'Mayleedee' for this Challenge and I coloured her using my Copic Markers - her dress is paper-pieced using a plain piece of paper that i had reandomly stamped using the same stamps as the background on the main card

I absolutely love this gorgeous stamp - she was my first ever purchase from Paperbabe Stamps

I trimmed the Image down, inked the edges and then matted using cardstock that I have also used for matting on the main card

I created the back ground using lots of Paperbabe Stamps from the following sets 'Folk Fabrique', 'Oriental Zen' and 'Bottlebrush Trees' - I then created some matting layers using pretty cardstocks.

I fixed the card together using foam tape in between some of the layers and turned the image to a jaunty angle before fixing down.

I finished my card with a 'Thank You' sentiment stamp also from Paperbabe Stamps and Paper Flowers & a Pearl from my own stash

Thank you for visiting today hope you will come back soon
