Stamps: Kraftin' Kimmie Oceans of Love
Colouring: Copics on Make it Colour Blending Card and Zig Clean Color Real Brush on Canson Montval

Paperbabe Stamps MDF Portrait Media Blanks Release!!


Hello everyone!! Oh exciting day!! Have you seen the peeks on the Paperbabe Stamps Blog? Kim has created MDF Portrait Blanks - such a brilliant, amazing idea!!! You can now paint 3D gorgeous ladies!!! I absolutely LOOOOOOOOVE this release and I hope you will too!! It's so original, different and so fun!! OK - I'm hooked!!!


There are THREE different MDF Portrait Media Blanks and today we are showcasing the Wavy Bunches one!! If you have not seen the previous peeks on the Paperbabe Blog, I would highly recommend stopping by - because they are simply breathtaking!! 
Here is mine - ETA retook all the pics by daylight and with lamp, so the details don't look just black LOL:


The MDFs can be either hung on a wall, or put on a stand as I did, which comes with the kit. They are about 8 inches/ 20 cms tall. I coloured almost everything in acrylics, only added a bit of shading in pencils and used some Posca pens too. I started by painting the skin in acrylics, then stamped the face details in Versafine using the Female Mini Face stamp set. For her sweater, I stamped some stitches on the collar, added lots of little pink Posca dots - inspired by Kim's dots on today's make!! The stars are MDF shapes too, painted in acrylics and covered in Glamour Dust for a bit of sparkle. I used some iridescent paint for the hair to have a bit of sparkle - see below with strong light in her face.


You can either paint the back or not - I chose to paint mine without going into details too much :)




MDF: Paperbabe Stamps MDF Wavy Bunches Portrait Media Blanks, Bo Bunny Stitches
Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps Female Mini Face stamp set
Colouring: Acrylics (Ceramcoat, Pebeo, Golden Fluid), Polychromos, Poscas (and a bit of Neocolor II for the cheeks)
Other: MDF Stars, Glamour Dust

All the MDF Portrait Media Blanks will be released TOMORROW HERE!!! I really hope you'll give them a try, they could really change your artistic life ;)!!!
Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,

Make it Crafty Isabella... in acetate


Hello everyone! I'm back to share my inspiration card for our current Make it Crafty CAS Challenge - "Clear Plastic/ Acetate"! Using acetate was a first for me and I have to say I really like the special look acetate cards have! Here is my make for the challenge :)

Isabella prof copyr wtmk

I used the adorable Isabella digi stamp, cropped her in MS Word, printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured her in Copics. I used a whole acetate base for my card, folded it in two with my bone folder. I put a piece of Kaisercraft DP on the back part of the acetate, and for the front, I used a Kaisercraft Scallop Border from the same pad in matching colours, then put my Isabella on foam squares, and added a sentiment using stickers from my stash.
