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,

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 Blog Challenge Reminder

Hello everyone! A post today to remind you there is still time to join our SPRING Challenge at Paperbabe Stamps! You have 3 days left to enter HERE! 

For my spring make, I used my Whimsical Woodland sets to create a sweet spring scene:

Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps Whimsical Woodland Set 4 (bird) and Set 3 (hedgehog and bunny)

Colouring: Zig and Ecoline markers on Wtc Tile, gel pens and Stabilo, acrylic ink

I used a Watercolour Tile to test it and stamped the bunny and hedgehog from my Whimsical Woodland Set 3 and a bird from the Whimsical Woodland Set 4. I then created a background in watercolour using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and Ecoline Markers - tricky with this paper since the paper needs to be wet before adding marker or the lines won't go... and the paper does not take much water. I then added details in Stabilo 68, Pigma Micron and Gel Pens. 

We hope you can join us HERE! Thank you very much for your visit, have a fab day! Hugs,

Inspirational Wednesday

Hello everyone! It's Inspirational Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and my turn to share a card with you! For my make, I chose to use a very summery image, one of the fab girls from the Sandy Toes set which I love. I decided to make a one layer card (not unusual for me ;)) but did a doodled background for a change :)

Stamp: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Sandy Toes

Colouring: Copics on Make it Colour Blending Card

Other: Copic multiliners, Sakura and Pentel gel pens, Staedler Triplus, Stabilo 68

I coloured everything using Copics then added details using Copic multiliners and other pens on top of my Copic colouring. This doodled background is inspired by Joanne Fink's work which I'm a great fan of! 

Hope you like my different make for today! Thank you very much for your visit, have a fantastic dday! Hugs,

Glimps DT - Mixed Media Ariel

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing my Glimps DT make, a summery creation with an adorable mermaid - Ariel. I decided to do a bit of Mixed Media and picked a Grey Board on which I created my background.

I created the background by sponging Acrylic Fresco Paint on my board then added a bit of Liquitex acrylic inks on the edges. 

I then added a rock, seaweed and details using acrylic paint markers and Sakura and Pentel Gel Pens.

You can (maybe!) see the details a bit better on this picture :)

I coloured Ariel in Copics on Make it Colour Blending Card then did some fussy cutting.

Using Alice Portrait and Head and Torso templates, I drew my Alice on Canson Fontenay watercolour paper.

I watercoloured everything using different brands of watercolour markers (Zig, Winsor & Newton, Ecoline).
