HAVING FUN WITH JULIE NUTTING/PRIMA DOLLS!

I've been working on a mixed media canvas for the past week or so.  I started it in the usual way - with a coat of gesso.  Then I took my favorite texture medium - DryDex spackling and some of my Crafters Workshop templates.  

On top of this I added strips of dry wall tape.  This is the first time I've used that and I'm sure I will be playing with it again soon.

Next I took some Gelatos and a wet brush and added color.

The colors were a bit more vibrant than what I had envisioned so I took some watered down gesso and covered it.

Ok...now I'm ready...

There was a quote challenge on Soul Scrappers and I knew exactly how I wanted to use it.

Here is the quote:

"Be a girl with a mind,

A woman with an attitude

And a lady with class."

I had recently purchased 3 of the Julie Nutting/Prima Doll stamps and they were just perfect!  I took some StazOn Jet Black ink and stamped them on an off white cardstock and then fussy cut them out.  I stamped them again on various patterned papers and fussy cut their clothes, shoes and hair. I took a flesh colored Spectrum Noir pen and added a bit of color to the skin. I printed the quote on a peachy-pink patterned paper in separate lines and I cut them out with a ragged edged tearing ruler.  

I laid the dolls and the quote out and moved them around until I got them where I wanted them and then I glued them down.  I covered it all with a coat of ModPodge Matte Medium.

I have also entered this in Flying Unicorn June Valley of the Paper Dolls challenge, A2Z Scraplets June challenge for an Off-the-Page Project, a Blog Named Hero challenge #45 It's not in the Cards calling for anything but a card, 4 Crafty Chicks Crazy Egg challenge #196 Anything Goes and Pinque Peacock challenge #6 Anything Goes.  

Now all that's left to do is finish it up with some embellishing...

So come back tomorrow and see what I've opted for...
