Mayleedee Wonderland - Paperbabe

Hiya and welcome to my Blog... firstly I need to appologise, I was offline all day yesterday and my post which was scheduled didn't go live so I have edited and shared today instead 

This week at Paperbabe has been very exciting... loads of new products released including Mixed Media Templates in both the standard Doll Face size, the New Mini Doll Face size and the new Profile View Face size too they are all so much fun to use and the New Stamps are Gorgeous

Head over to the Paperbabe Blog to see the Gorgeous Projects from our Kim and the Paperbabe Team

Last but certainly not least we are sharing our Projects using the New Digi Image 'Mayleedee - Wonderland' who is stunning and a tribute to my Fave Ever! Book 'Alice in Wonderland' which is a fabulous 150 years old Wowser!!

Here is my project for 'Mayleedee - Wonderland'

I have coloured her using Copic Markers and for a change I used blendable coloured pencils over the top to add depth

I matched up some papers and flowers - I wanted to keep the layout simple so the Image is the main focus

The Sentiment I created using the Letters from the 'Watercolour Alphabets' set (also from Paperbabe and available on the Etsy Store

Thank you so much for visiting today and I hope you will visit the STORE to check out the Gorgeous Stamps, Digi's and Templates that are available - also pop over to the 'Paperbabe Fan Group' on Facebook to keep up to date and join in the Paperbabe Fun

'Spook Us!!' - Halloween at Paperbabe

Hiya Happy Spooky Halloween Wishes To You All!

Over at Paperbabe our New Challenge today is 'Spook Us' eeeks so much fun all you need to enter is at least 1 Paperbabe Stamp or a Digi from the Shop you could win an amazing prize! Go on over to visit the Challenge Blog to see the Design Team examples and to see all the details about the Challenge.

For my Design Team example I have used 'Dillon Magic' this gorgeous stamp set is available in both Clear Stamp, Red Rubber and Digi Stamp - he really is so gorgeous

I have coloured him up using Derment Inktense Pencils and some Spectrum Noir Pencils for a change from copics as my poor pencils were feeling a bit neglected - I really enjoyed the change of medium

For something different to a card example I decorated a small paper bag for my eldest son for Trick or Treat tonight - he didnt want a treat bag at first but changed his mind when he saw it (I had ran out of the larger bags I used for his Brother and Sisters)

I chose some Digi Papers which I printed and trimed down to fit the front of the bag, I backed them onto Scratched Silver Board to strength the bag front. I stamped around the edge of the blue striped paper using a Large Watercolour Splat from the 'Watercolour Alphabet' stamps set. I also used this stamp to stamp around the edge of the Image topper.

The sentiment I stamped using the 'Watercolour Alphabet Capitals' stamp set.

To finish the bag I tied a ribbon through a skelleton charm and tied this to the bag handle.

I hope you like my Treat Bag and will visit again soon

Paperbabe Picture Inspiration Challenge

Today begins a New Challenge over at Paperbabe Stamps Blog and the theme is a Colour Picture Inspiration and it's perfect for this time of year

I wanted to upcycle an Instant Mash Tin to use as a craft tool pot so using some lush Paperbabe Stamps and some of my craft stash this is what I did

 

I have used 'Mayleedee Witchily' stamp for the main image on my project which I have coloured using some of my Copic Markers

Hair: R27, R17, R08, YR07

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Eyes & Book: YG67, YG63

Lips: E09, E04

I trimmed a large piece of cream cardstock which I stamped using the Leaf stamp and some of the smaller Conker elements from the 'Completely Conkers' set in various shades of distress inks to match the colours in the Inspiration Picture, I also added a few speckles using pale distress ink and the small splat stamp from the 'Watercolour Alphabet' set.

I wrapped a strip of frayed burlap around the top of the tin for texture

Ive diecut the coloured Image using a circle die and matted this onto a diecut doily circle, I attahed this circlar topper to the front of the covered tin and embellished using some colour matching paper flowers and some diecut flourishes. Lastly I punched a tag wich I tapped on the sentiment from the 'Mayleedee Witchily' set and the Autum sentiment from the 'Completely Conkers' set

Paperbabe New October Stamp Release Showcase day #2

Hiya it is such an exciting week for us all at Paperbabe Stamps we are getting to Showcase the New Release Stamps for October 

Today is the turn of the New 'Watercolour Alphabet' stamp sets there are two sets Uppercase and Lowercase and they are gorgeous

I had a lot of inky fun with these stamps and my Distress Inkpads I love how the letters work together with their watercoloured partners - I love all the paint splats and elements too so much fun x

My Watercolour Alphabet example

Im a bit addicted to making my own backing papers using stamps so I have done that again for this card using some of the smaller paint splats from the lowercase set. I then attached this paper to a scallop edge cardblank. 

The main topper is stamped onto Watercolour Card I love the texture of this card and thought it would work lovely with the stamp set.

I have used a few shades Distress Inks on this card some bright and some muted... Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar, Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass and Worn Lipstick.

I stamped a few watercolour splats in opposite corners and then i used the layer up hearts and the heart outline in the other two opposite corners along with the tiny watercolour drops. The main section I stamped the larger Spritz stamp from 'Spritz and Speckle' set twice in the middle in 2 different distress ink colours. I then stamped the Water colour letters and then the fineline letters from the set over the top. I doodled lines around the outside of the topper using a fine ZIG liner pen.

It is a simple card layout but i wanted to show off the simplicity of the set

I hope you like my card please visit again tomorrow as I have another Showcase Make lined up for you
