It takes a village of stamps to create a cute doodle background...

We have a new challenge over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today,

and here's my fun card with a super cute doodle background.

It's kawaii inspired, but I guess anything can look cute when they have eyes and a smile. I used yupo paper for a change, so I ended up using archival black ink as after some testing that one dried quickly enough so that I could add a mask to it.

I happily stamped away, using masks to give foreground and overlapping layers. My pops of doodling might need some work, there is lots of inspiration and tutorials online. I used my posca pen as after a few tests that worked on the yupo the best, it dries very matt.

as you can see I used many stamps to get all the cute images, the tree hugs, high in the sky, folk fabrique, the designa adorimals set, cute nativity, the bottle of, sugar skulls, and finished off with the adorable kawaii face set to give each character their fab expression. I've die cut the 'smile' sentiment, in fine type and added pen detail. 

and I would love to enter my project to these wonderful challenges too...

Dotty about Hair

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you're keeping well and safe...

just to mention there is still plenty of time to take part in our current

Picture Inspiration Challenge.

I thought I would create a very rainbow coloured card, inspired by the rainbow of flowers, adding lots of dots with the polka stencil. 

I've combined two hairstyles to create this one, the fringe from the rag tails with the volumptuous waves from this template set, framing the 3/4 view face.

I thought the clasped hand would be perfect to hold the cutie bear balloon, created using this old Adorimals stamp set.

 I love the contrast of real skin to the cartoon hair, so fun :) I've used distress oxides for the background, love that the templates help to mask her.

copic colours, because I forgot the photo..

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #34 ~ Sketch

Today we have a new sketch challenge over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog...

I created this fun birthday card using the DesignA Tweed to follow the background panel on the sketch. 

The Panda embellishment was very easy to put together using the DesignA Adorimals trimmed with a little border.

 I added a few ink blobs from watercolour alphabet, partly to cover the smudge I had made from the stitching too.

and finished with a sentiment from Birthday Wishes.

I'm also entering this into...

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #25 ~ Sketch

We have a lovely sketch challenge over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today...

and I've actually made a card I know shock horror, lol!

I had quite a bit of fun, ok lots of fun creating this card. It was so easy to make this Adorimal Bunny image with Kawaii face as a Character Balloon flying on the wind. I didn't even need any masking yay, the ears are separate images which means they can fly in any direction they so wish. The Balloon knot is in fact one of the piggy ears in the set (wonder if you worked that one out already?) I've coloured her using copic markers, I then trimmed her out with a slight border and popped on dimensional adhesive.

The background was built up using High in the Sky and Spritz & Speckles stamp sets, I wish I had taken a picture before the balloon was stuck in place, the clouds were masked and the speckles & drips looked fab. l finished off with the fabulous sentiment stamp, a very fitting quote and drew in a string with black pen.

I'm also entering my card to the following challenges
