Tutorial - Mixed Media Halloween

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a Mixed Media Halloween scene. I chose to use 3 super cute Halloween stamps sets from the Kraftin' Kimmie Store - MINI MONSTERS, HAUNTED HOUSE and HARVEST BLESSINGS. I stamped elements from the Mini Monsters and Harvest Blessings set in Wicked Black Ink, did some fussy cutting and colored them in Copics.

Bonjour à tous! Je partage aujourd'hui un tuto sur une scène Mixed Media :) J'ai utilisé 3 sets de tampons Kraftin' Kimmie - MINI MONSTERS, HAUNTED HOUSE et HARVEST BLESSINGS. J'ai tamponné mes éléments à l'encre Wicked Black Ink, découpé mes images et je les ai mises en couleur au Copic.

Skin/ Peau: E21, 50, 51

Purple costume/ Costume violet: V09, 15, 17

Red Costume/ Costume rouge: C7, R35, 37, 39

Horns/ Cornes: E41, 43

Balloons/ Ballons: G28, YG01, 03, 17

Pumpkins/ Citrouilles: Y35, YG95, 99, YR04, 07, E08, 19 

Cat/ Chat: C2, 4, 6, R20

Now to the background:

Et maintenant le fond:

I used a square grey board and covered it in red, orange and yellow paints applied with a sponge.

J'ai utilisé un carton carré que j'ai recouvert de peinture rouge, orange et jaune, appliquée à l'éponge.

To add a bit of interest to my scene and really have a Halloween feel to it, I stamped the HAUNTED HOUSE in Versafine.

Une fois le fond sec, j'ai tamponné la maison HAUNTED HOUSE à l'encre Versafine.

I then coloured the house using Pitt pens and gel pens. I also created a hill using acrylic paint and a sponge so the house would not be floating in the air ;)!

J'ai colorié ma maison au feutre Pitt et j'ai aussi créé une colline avec mes peintures acryliques pour éviter que ma maison ne flotte dans les airs ;)!

Next, I decided to add a bit contrast to the sky, so I added a bit of Ruby Red Hybrid Ink with a sponge dauber on the edges of my sky, then some Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. I also stamped a little ghost and 2 stars, coloured with Posca pens.

J'ai ensuite tamponné avec une mousse de l'encre Ruby Red sur les bords de mon ciel et de la Distress Chipped Sapphire. J'ai aussi tamponné un petit fantôme et 2 étoiles, coloriés au Posca.

I then glued my elements on my board. The only character which I put on foam squares for a bit of dimension is the little purple monster.

J'ai collé tous mes éléments sur mon fond. Le seul élément collé sur mousse 3D pour avoir un peu de relief, est le petit monstre violet.

And lastly, I added a bit of gold to the edges of my board and some gel pen touches here and there. And voilà :)!

Enfin, j'ai rajouté du doré sur les bords de mon carton et des touches de stylo gel - et voilà :)!

Thanks for stopping by, have a fab Monday everyone! Hugs,

Merci de votre visite, bonne journée à tous! Bises,

Glimps DT: Mixed Media Canvas Board

Hello everyone! I'm going Mixed Media today with my Glimps DT make, since I really wanted to use the Painter digi and it called for a bit of painting ;)

Using pink and white Pebeo Acrylic paint, I covered my 10x10cm canvas board.

I then painted a red heart in the middle of my canvas. Using a sponge, I added red paint on the edges of my canvas, and once the red was dry, I did the same with black acrylic paint. 

I added gold hearts with my Kraftin' Kimmie Happy Hearts Stencil and a gold gel pen. I then put some black outlines in Posca pen. I also put a bit of gold on the edges of the canvas. 

I coloured the Painter image in Copics:

Skin: E000, 00, 11, R12, Y71

Eyes: B00, 02, 63

Hair: E25, 59, YR24

Red: R35, 37, 39

Black: T5, 7, 9

Brush: E31, 35, 37, 74, 77, 79, Y11, 26, 28

I then glued my image to the board with tape, and voilà :)!

Thank you very much for your visit, have a fab day! Hugs,

I stamped my character in Wicked Black Hybrid Ink directly on the MDF oval shape. I painted everything using acrylic markers and paint then added littles details such as the leaves, blades of grass, flowers in paint and Posca pens. I also added some shading in Polychromos.
I then painted the flourished frame in acrylics and added dots in Poscas, then used glue to put my 2 MDFs together.

Beagle Baby Looooooove

Hello everyone! I'm sharing a very special card today, inspired by real life! People who know me a little know how much I love my baby beagles and I am extremely lucky to have had an image made by the fabulous Christy at Tiddly Inks, based on my second baby beagle who arrived home last month :) I can't tell you how blessed I feel!! Huge thanks again to you Christy!! 

So this is the image I'm using today - my Baby Beagle by Tiddly Inks!

I printed my image and die cut it with an MFT circle die, to then focus on the colouring.

I coloured the sky first, using B00 and B02. I added a cloud in BV20, C0 and C1 to avoid having a completely flat sky.

I then coloured my beagle with E30, 31, 34, 44 and 47 for the browns. I added shadows to the white colouring them in W00 first to see where I would place them and then W0, 1, 3.

Next I coloured the grass with my usual combo of G28, YG01, 03, 17 and 67.

So all the Copics I used are:

Sky: B00, 02

Grass: G28, YG01, 03, 17, 67

Beagle Puppy: E30, 31, 34, 44, 47, W00, 0, 1, 3

Now to add more depth, I added a few details to my image: birds in the sky with a Copic Multiliner, a bit of blue Distress Ink aroung the edges of my scene and I used Posca and gel pens to add blades of grass and dots for flowers.

I then mounted my image on another MFT die cut and on a piece of BoBunny DP. The sentiment was done using Make it Crafty Alpha Chipboard painted in white acrylic. 

Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,

Paperbabe Stamps Release!

Hello everyone! We have a new release at Paperbabe Stamps which will be available on Saturday June 2nd, and let me tell you, it's simply A.MA.ZING!!! I have been in love with Kim's Mixed Media Templates and MDF Substrates for a long time, but these new MDF just took my breath away!!! I am in LOVE!!! Today we are introducing the Rose Edge MDF Layered Frame, and you can see all the details of this set in photos HERE, on the Paperbabe Stamps Blog, with also detailed pictures of Kim's gorgeous project! Here is my project - which I have loved doing so much, I'm going to make another one :)

I started by creating my Queen of Hearts using my Queen of Hearts MM Templates, and my Female Face Stamp Set (Mini) and Mini Ears stamp set (Mini). The details of her face were stamped using Versafine Onyx Black for the eyelashes, Smoked Gray for the rest. I coloured the black background in Acrylin Ink and coloured my Queen in Acrylic Paint. I then added shading to the face with my Polychromos and Pastel Pencils and added a few details in gel pen.

I then painted the flourish in gold acrylic paint, the roses in Copics and Polychromos, the leaves and hearts in Pentel Hybrid and Sakura gel pens.

I then stuck the flourish on my lady, and the roses on the flourish - easy :)!!

Thank you very much for your visit, have a fab day! Hugs,

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #50

Hello everyone! Today is the start of a new challenge at Paperbabe Stamps and it's an easy one - Anything Goes!! We hope you will join us and try to win a gift voucher to the store! 

For this challenge, I took out my acrylic paints... which I probably have not touched for about 10 months... I had to do a bit of cleaning to remove the dust ;)!! Here is what I did: 

Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps Mini Female Face Stamp Set

Substrate: Paperbabe Stamps MDF Mixed Media Blanks Hanging Circles Set

Templates: Paperbabe Stamps Mini Head and Torso and Blunt Bangs Long 

Stencil: Paperbabe Polka Dots Stencil

Colouring: Acrylic paint, Polychromos, Posca on MDF

I used the big MDF circle from the Mixed Media Blanks Hanging Circles Set to create my portrait. I started to draw the shapes in pencil, using the Mini Head and Torso Templates, and the Blunt Bangs Long Template for the hair. I coloured the skin in acrylic paint then stamped the face features using the Mini Female Face Stamp Set. I painted everything in acrylics then added pencil (Polychromos). For the background, white ink on my Polka Dots Stencil :)

That was fun to create and really did me good :)! I hope you can have some fun too and will share your makes with us! Thank you very much for your visit, have a fab day! Hugs,
