Meet RoseAnne

Meet RoseAnne......she's an art doll created with a Julie Nutting doll stamp by Prima.  The stamp is available at eclectic Paperie.  RoseAnne's dress and hat were paper pieced.  I added black velvet ribbon at the waist and slightly gathered black lace at the hemline.  A black rhinestone at the neck completed her dress.  Her hat is a stamp by Mary Engelbreit.  I added tiny black half-pearls and some May Arts ribbon leaves and a tiny crocheted pink flower.  Roseanne's wings were cut from a piece of S.E.I. designer paper and glittered with some turquoise glitter glue.  A row of silk embroidered flowers and some black organza trim were added to the bottom of the tag.  The top of the tag was finished off with a scrapbook border of flowers by K & Co.

RoseAnne is entered in the eclectic Paperie November Art Doll Get Altered challenge.

Go Fly a Kite

The Monday technique challenge on Splitcoaststampers is paper piecing...one of my favorites.  Dress and headband were paper pieced. Color choices were inspired by the kite background paper from the DCWV paper stack "Freshly Picked." Leaves were cut with a die by C C Designs. Edges were dusted with "Fizzy" fluorescent powdered chalk by Chalk-AH-Lot.  The doll stamp is one of the Prima stamps from Julie Nutting.

Enjoy the day.........................Think SPRING.....................Paulette

Venetian Masquerade

The Way to Use It challenge on Splitcoaststampers was "Masked Fun." I used a Venetian mask die and flourish by Spellbinders for my card. The B&W harlequin design seemed to go with the theme.  The stamp is from Stamp N Plus Scrap N.  It is not on the website but is part of this set of sentiments:

You can order this stamp or the set by calling LuAnn at: 715-271-1873

Let the Cat Out of the Bag

There's an Anything Goes chalk challenge over on the Chalk-AH-Lot Cafe blog.  It's past Halloween but this little Kitty Purr-y has decided that the empty trick-or-treat bag makes an excellent hide-out.  I cut some thin strips of a tan striped patterned paper and folded them in half.  I then colored the edges of the fold with a fluorescent orange chalk called Fizzy.  I also used this chalk to edge the cream colored panel that I stamped my image on.The stamp is an iris fold stamp by Stamp N Plus Scrap N and can be found HERE.  The orange background panel was dry embossed with a feather embossing folder and colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Hope you're still enjoying your trick-or-treat loot...............................Paulette

Fruits of the Harvest

This week's Free for All challenge on Splitcoaststampers is to make Fall themed card with fruit of some kind. I chose some German scrap from the Paper Dreams Factory as a focal image. The card was made with a step card die by The Stamp Doctor. The gold square was cut with a Spellbinders die with a leaf design on the edges. I used a border from K&Co. as an embellishment.

Have a great weekend...................................................Paulette

Trick-or-Treat

It's almost Halloween and these trick-or-treaters are suited up and ready for fun.  This iris fold stamp from Stamp N Plus Scrap N can be found HERE.  The witch's dress was made with the iris fold technique using black ribbon and the ghost was also iris folded using some gold metallic foil paper.  I added black half pearl eyes to the ghost.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The papers are from DCWV.

Hope your Halloween is filled with lots of treats and no tricks........................Paulette
