Welcome to week 2 of our Prima Paper Doll Blog Hop

(missed week one?..there is still time... go here)

As mentioned, our theme is "Seasons"

and this week it is "Summer".

 

For my summer project I chose to create a canvas...

 

 

I mixed two shades of blue paint and spritzed them with stamp cleaner....

it gave a "washed" look to the colors....

I used a star negative for a stencil and some bubble wrap for my background...

Sand paper was used at the bottom to achieve a "sandy" beach....

I mod podged a piece of paper onto the canvas, added a sailboat

I stamped with a Unity stamp, and some rub on's...

the doll herself was stamped on Prima ledger paper,

I rubbed some Pebbles cream chalks for her skin tones...

her dress was paper pieced......

 

 

glitter was added here and there for some sparkle...

 

To me, summer also makes me think of all the county fairs....

 

I had to make a tag and went with a county fair theme.....

Again, her body was stamped on Prima Ledger paper and rubbed with Pebbles cream chalks

I paper pieced her dress from a denim look paper...

her cowgirl hat, boots, rope and saddle are all from a sticker set....

the grand prize ribbon I made using a Tim Holtz rosette Alterations die...

I used chalkboard paper a new, just arrived today SU chalk pen

for my country fair sign.....
