I have so many gorgeous paper art dolls in my inbox that it feels like a paper doll party! LOL!
So without further ado, here are the party goers... *giggle*!
First up we have this lovely doll from Jeannie Newton of the UK:
From Jeannie:
"The bodice is stamped with an Aspects of Design lace unmounted stamp. I got the template for my doll from the Enchanted Gallery".
Nice work Jeannie!
Next we have this ballerina beauty from Danielle Sheehan:
From Danielle:
"I used stamps from Hero Arts, PSX and Darkroom Door. I heat embossed the bodice with a Darkroom Door text stamp from the "Little Dreams" stamp set and mounted it with foam. Her face is from a Hero Arts Asian stamp. I hand drew her head and hair and her tiara and skirt are German Scrap. I also made a choker with some cotton and beads".
Great job Danielle!
Now meet "Rosie" who was sent in by Shirley Henry:
LOL - I had to giggle when Shirley wrote in her email "Rosie is a little upset. She had just done her hair and suddenly a big gust of wind came up!"! LOL!!
From Shirley:
"I printed a template from google. The template came with a face printed and a blank one. I chose the printed face. I coloured in the lipstick and eye shadow with gelly pens. The hair is brown embroidery thread. I changed the colour of the pre bought bow with alcohol ink and added a pearl".
"I drew and cut out the skirt. Both the skirt and top where coloured with distress inks. I dabbed milled lavender and tattered rose onto a non stick mat spritzed with water then dabbed the skirt and top on the mat until happy with the colours. When dried, I stamped swirly flower pattern (hero arts) onto skirt with watermark ink and heat embossed with claret embossing powder. Added pearls and a flower to top".
"I stamped a Stampin' Up dot stamp to legs for stockings (not chicken pox! LOL) and drew "ballet flats" on her feet. Rosie is wearing a huge diamond ring (silver rhinestone) and a silver bracelet (drew on in silver gelly pen)".
"The background is A4 white paper. I sponged broken china a little faded jeans for the sky. I used a sizzix cloud template. The ground was sponged with shabby shutters and a little peeled paint. Inked small branch from Yuletide stamp set (Darkroom Door) with pine needles to make the grass".
"Wildflowers set (Darkroom Door) inked with milled lavender and tattered rose. The fence and tree are both Sizzix die cuts Fence was painted with crackle paint in picket fence. The tree was dry embossed with distressed stripes cuttlebug folder. Leaves are a Quickuts die. Prima flowers lightly sponged with spiced marmalade. Homemade dew drops were added to centre of flowers".
"Bird on fence (from McGill punch) was coloured with shabby shutters and spiced marmalade. The bird in the tree and on the ground are Hero Arts stamps. One inked in dried marigold and other in spiced marmalade. The bee (hero arts) stamped in more mustard and cut out. Added some markings with black gelly pen. Butterflies were stamped with dusty concord and worn lipstick. Filled in with pink and purple gelly pens. Rosie is attached with foam squares".
Thanks for all the details Shirley!
Last but not least for today we have this merry mermaid art doll from Ros Crichton:
From Ros:
"I downloaded my mermaid template from The Enchanted Gallery. I transfered it onto some cardboard painted with gesso and sanded the edges".
"I spread the fin with gel medium and covered with fusible film, then blasted with the heat gun. I coated the tail with texture paste and positioned sequins all over. I sprayed with Starburst spray called Sea Mist Green then hit it with the heat gun again. This caused the sequins to curl up a bit. I then sprayed the body, arms, hair base and head with the Starburst color and heat embossed Ocean Commotions Stampin'Up stamp onto the body".

"The hair was made from cellophane fiber (you buy it from discount stores and you can use it to stuff your gift boxes). I wired it on with jewellery wire. I love the way it turned out but I am no portrait painter! LOL!".
Love all that detail on the tail Ros!
That's it for today!
I'll be back tomorrow with some more new entries, and a spotlight on a paper doll addict, so make sure you don't miss it! :)
Happy stamping!
