Saturday Showcase - Prima Marketing Julie Nutting Dolls

Happy Saturday!  Suzz here with the latest showcase.   I am highlighting a few of the Prima Marketing Doll Stamps by Julie Nutting.  These sweet stamps always remind me of the old fashioned paper dolls and creating fun outfits with a variety of styles.

I decided to try out a few of the new dolls in stock including "Kyoko" and the "Travel Girl" set.

I tried out a few different ideas with the pretty Kyoko.  I stamped her clothes first on a few different pattern papers.  My favorite was the pretty flowers and bees from the lovely Farmhouse paper.

This inspired my entire tag.  Here are the steps I used to create the tag:

1. Stamp Kyoko on white cardstock and the pattern paper. 
2. Heat emboss the stamped image on the pattern paper with black embossing powder.
3. Color the image on the white cardstock with your favorite coloring medium.  (I used watercolor pencils and a waterbrush.
4. Add shading to the skirt and top with your favorite coloring medium.
5. Cut out the skirt and dress.
6. Cut out the doll on the white cardstock.  (I cut out under her arms by cutting her arm at the skirt line which actually helps the image when you dress her up because it naturally falls behind the skirt)
7. Cut tag from mixed media paper.  Emboss doily using texture paste.  Let dry.
8. Mix a touch of green and brown paint on craft mat with water. 
9. Apply paint to one side of embossed tag.  Spritz with water.
10.  Apply brown paint on edge and spritz with water.
11. Let tag dry.
12. Stamp flowers multiple times and color to coordinate. 
13. Cut out flowers and layer.
14. Assemble tag.

I had so much fun with the first doll I tried out a few other variations with the travel girl doll.

For my travel girl I stamped her around 8 times onto white cardstock with archival ink.

Because the travel girl was a smaller size I had to look for stamps and stencils that would look great on her outfit. 

First I stamped the ledger stamp over one of my stamped images:

 Then I colored in every other box on her dress:

My next idea was to use a polka dot image over the dress and I used a stencil with distress oxide ink.

 And here are the two fancy girls trying out their outfits:

I ended up using the pretty soft purple outfit and pulling together other stamps from the Travel Girl set to make a travel inspired card.
