Meet Love..
One of the Festival Dollies.



 

It's not long now until Dolly Dimples are back on our TV screens on Create and Craft.

The new range of stamps I designed for Dolly Dimples are called the 'Festival Dollies' there are 3 stamp sets in all, Love - Hope - Harmony. The girls come with sentiments, worker stamps, butterfly's and lots of funky flowers. 

With spring being here and summer only around the corner I wanted to design fun and happy images with a twist of the 70's vibe.

The above project was made using the stamp set 'Love' and one of the alphabet templates from Dolly Dimples, which will be on the show.



I used my stamp press to get a good image of Love, then using the alphabet template I cut out the letter L.



Then fussy cutting the image out and using alcohol markers I coloured in Love and used a white pen to add high lights. The letter L I decorated with paper and stamped with VersaFine CLAIRE ink, using the word and flowers stamps included in the set. 


The two other Festival Dollies are Harmony and Hope.




The stamps are head images but there is nothing to stop you from adding a body to each character as I have done below.


I hope you like the Festival Dollies, all comments much appreciated and I hope you can join Charmain Barrett on Tuesday 18th April on Create and Craft at 6pm for the One Day Special. There are fabulous papers and card to go with the images too.

So it's Wednesday 7th April 2021 and I'm actually doing my next Blog Yea me.. One of the ranges I designed for Dolly Dimples was Under The Sea, Charmain did have a previous range called Under the Sea with art work by another artist.  I was asked to add further characters to this range. Once I started I basically couldn't stop, the character's kept coming which eventually created an extremely large collection.  The above is the line art I drew on A4 copier paper, the original  sketches are in a journal book that I can't seem to find at the moment, quite frustrating but I'm sure when I'm not looking for it, it will appear. The line art will be used to create the stamps. Once I have the line art finished I then scan it onto my computer and print onto mixed media card. Once printed I then set about colouring it in, this will then become the art work for the cover of the stamp sets.    The two stamp sets above are A4 so you can see from my drawing...

Using Sheena Douglas's new 'Create A Flower' dies and stencils I created the above canvas. Using Pebeo modeling paste over one of the stencils, allowing this to dry I then added Pebeo texture paste to the surface and added hessian for more texture. Simply using white card and the Crafter's Companion Gemini, I cut out the flowers and glued them to the canvas, once dry I painted the canvas with white Gesso. Allowing this to dry I then painted various parts of the canvas with matt Pebeo paint, then gilded with Pebeo gilding wax. I then painted three separate flowers and added them on top to finish the piece.

  Well I have some exciting news... I have not long opened my Etsy shop... So a lot of my images will now be downloadable from there, I hope you can pop in and have a look. I have only just opened it so a little sparse at the moment, so I better getting cracking on uploading more images. Meet the Flower Power girls This is Lily, and she is available  to download. I completed the project by printing the Digi image and colouring it in with alcohol markers. Highlighted the image using a uni-ball white pen. The background was made using Tim Holtz distress ink, wild honey and VeraFine CLAIRE Verdant. The stencil I used is from Dolly Dimples. Finally a black pen to create the pattern around the edge and dots and squiggles.    This is Sunny, she too is available to download. I completed this project the same as Lily, the distress inks I used were by Tim Holtz, wild honey and salty Ocean. The stencil is also from Dolly Dimples. Finally, Rose, also available t...
