PAPER DOLL ART JOURNAL | MAY 2015

***For UPDATED information on the text paper, album, and all other supplies I use for my Paper Doll Art Journaling pages, please scroll down under "SHOPPING".***

Today I'm sharing my May 2015 page. I used the leftover patterned papers from the Simon Says Stamp May 2015 Card Kit to outfit the Julie Nutting Adam Doll Stamp and Julie Nutting Marisol Doll Stamp with the awesome Julie Nutting Dress and Skirts Stamp Set and Julie Nutting Business Casual Stamp Set as well as to piece together the background of this 6x8 page. 

I am tickled with these customizable dolls with outfits (and there are even more outfits coming soon from Prima and Julie Nutting). You will be seeing these same dolls again and again but with different outfits. I definitely love that these are so easily customizable! 

The Julie Nutting Adam Doll Stamp and Julie Nutting Marisol Doll Stamp were stamped on a text design 12x12 patterned paper and I colore din the skin and hair with Copic Markers. The individual marker colors are listed and linked below in supplies and shown in the upper left corner of the how to video.

To outfit both of the dolls, I used the Julie Nutting Dress and Skirts Stamp Set, Julie Nutting Marisol Doll Stamp, and Julie Nutting Business Casual Stamp Set with the 6x6 patterned papers from the Simon Says Stamp May 2015 Card Kit. I added shading and detail to the outfits with Copic Markers and finishing touches to the dress with tiny, tiny clear gems and sequin trim around the waist of the dress.

The background striped "wall" and gold "baseboard" and black "flooring" were created by creatively adhering 6x6 patterned papers to a 6x8 sheet of cardstock.

The phrase for the May page was stamped from Kerri Bradford's Beautiful Day Stamp Set and the date is from her Time Stamp Set.

The star confetti was die cut from scraps of patterned paper from the Simon Says Stamp May 2015 Card Kit using the Mama Elephant Lots of Stars Die.

I get asked about the text/dictionary paper I use for my dolls a lot. I am using text papers from my scrapbooking stash. A lot of them are old and are no longer available but I like to use up what I have on hand. I've done a search and found similar and current text papers that you might be interested in.

The paper doll stamps average 8" in height and it can be a challenge to find an acrylic block that fits them in both width and height. I love this Prima Handle Block. 

The album I've chosen for all my paper doll art journaling pages is THIS Brighton Pier Handbook Album from Studio Calico.
