Paperbabe Stamps is in Craft Stamper, Yay!!!

The December issue of Craft Stamper is out Yay! and I'm delighted to be featured alongside all the wonderful designers this month...

Thanks Trish

I created a mixed media canvas called Snow Enchantress you can find it on page 38, I talk about the parts that I love.

I totally enjoyed creating this piece, I just got lost in the process...

It's such a textured surface I had to work the paint in to all those grooves and bumps...

I loved heat embossing on tissue paper it really moulded to the texture without falling apart, my favourite technique for sure.

You can order your copy from their online SHOP or 

download the digital version from POCKETMAGS!

So for those who have enquired already I wanted to let you know which products I've used...

I've used long and fringe hair style, some customers were thinking it was the wavy, although that would work too lol! Ceramcoat matte acrylics were used for her skin, dylusions spray inks and acrylics for the background, as well as some fabulous texture paste.

I hope it inspires!

Enjoy a wonderfully creative day!

Craft Stamper Blog Hop – Looking Back

           

Hello and welcome to this stop on the Craft Stamper Hop!

You should hopefully have hopped over here from the talented Kate Bentley. If your just visiting then be sure to pop over to the Craft Stamper Blog to join in, as there are lots of prizes to be won!

Hi, well I'm Kim and I have been part of the Craft Stamper Magazine Design team since 2009, WOW I still pinch myself about that... Here's the post about my first published piece! I love being published in their fabulous magazine, and 2012 saw quite a few of my projects on the front cover Thank You! I hope I inspire readers to create whatever their imagination conjures up.

I can't quite narrow my style to anything specific I've always described it as a fusion of everything I love, like my next project will demonstrate.

I went for an arty piece for the blog hop, I'm so pleased with how it came out... totally fusion,  let me explain

I started by printing this stunning image by the talented Krista from Saturated Canary.This is what I love about digital stamps you can print to any size.

 Of course I used my copics, lots of airbrushing for the background, and even through the castle stencil, I used a few Lavinia stamps for the grasses and foliage. 

The water texture was created by stamping woodgrain and heat embossing in clear. Then I airbrushed over, notice the castle reflection? I simply turned the stencil over. Using a clear copic I brushed lightly over some of the embossed areas to create ripples.

So one thing I really had to get a hang of for a feature in Craft Stamper was using embossing paste and stencils, I love the effect and very impressed with how well it works on glass, really stays on there (think I can see a few more projects on the horizon)

This is the image with the glass from the frame laid on top.

I also followed my technique of embossing paste on acetate adding a generous sprinkling of stickles dry glitter. 

So here's the finished project...

thought I would share my sample sheet, had so many ideas too, a glimpse to see the process unfold.

I hope you enjoyed my post! Your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Jo Firth-Young.
