Crafty little Minx - Jane Davenport making faces workshop...

Today I combined my love of creating backgrounds with stamps, stencils, acrylic paints and my brayer with the Jane Davenport girls.

I started by stamping ad stencilling all over a blank page with archival inks in grey and pink , then brayered over the  acrylic paints in pink, white and red, then added touches of yellow.
While the paint was still damp I lifted some off through the stencils with a babywipe.

I added some more stamped inages but thought about where I was going to add my girl before stamping.

I stencilled the outline of the girl and gessoed her face back to white

.

I decided to do the hair first this time with the JD  Colorsticks and my LTQ pen.

The face was coloured with Birthday Suit and Lit up pastels.
 I added added detail with a black fineliner then added washi tape details 💗

My crafty minx is going on my craft room wall to remind me to get started 😊💗

Making faces with Jane Davenport...

So I signed up to the FREE Making Faces class on Jane Davenport’s website... i’m now hooked!!!
I started with some stencils I bought with my birthday money back in January with the Licence to Quill pen, and my really old Pebbles inc. chalks... and its fair to say I was pretty pleased with the results!!!

But It made me want the proper Birthday Suit Pastel Palette... omg... what a difference!!! They are so creamy and rich, and really easy to use... they arrived this morning, so today I created Alice.

Then I thought I would have a go with acrylic paints ... I don’t have the JD set so used some of my own I had from Hobbycraft.
I then added the JD pastels on top 💚🧜🏻‍♀️💙



Love how she turned out
I used Aall & create stamps and stencils on both backgrounds - the blue one was one I dud ages ago when I first got the stencils so used The JD stencil over the top to create the face.

I’m entering my mermaid girl in the countryview crafts blog chalenge for July which is the theme of Blue and green... I think fits the bill 💙💚😊

Oh my this is addictive lol 🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t been brave enough to work on my specially created journal yet becausr I don’t want to ruin it practising!!!

If you haven’t looked at her work I seriously recommend you have a look, as she is so inspirational!!
