Hello! Today I have my August paper doll layout to share and once again I'm a little late lol! This month I wanted to do a page with a single doll... I've been doing multiple character pages for the past few months and wanted to change it up. As soon as I decided on that, I picked a movie that I've been wanting to do for awhile... the Sound of Music!
This has been a favourite of mine since as long as I can remember. I watch it at least a couple of times a year and always during the Christmas holidays. I decided to use the Audrey paper doll stamp for Maria since she looks the closest and I just changed her up a bit to fit the character.
I stamped the dress twice (on dark blue patterned paper and grey and white striped patterned paper) and then I added some of my own lines to the dress to change it up a bit. I turned the grey and white stamped dress into an apron and layered it over the dress to resemble to opening scene.
I also changed up the hair by drawing a line down the side to make it appear short on both sides and take off the little hair flip thing that was happening. To complete her, I added a brown hat, similar to the one she wears throughout the movie.
I created the scene with sky patterned paper and then added grey papers and vellum for the mountains and green striped paper for the hills. I also added a small strip of floral paper to look like flowers in the hills and add a light pop of colour to the layout.
The quote that I added is a line from the song (the Sound of Music) that she is singing during the opening scene of the movie. I love all of the songs in the film and knew I definitely wanted to use a line from one of the songs. ;)
I thought it looked pretty plain and simple when I was done and I had a hard time just being done, but this is pretty much all there is in the movie scene so I forced myself to leave it be and let Maria be the star of the page. ;)
You can watch the video below to see how I created my page. At the end of the video I share a peek at my entire album so far:
Thanks for stopping by! I'll see you later this month for my September page! ;)

OMG - a perfect Maria! I love that movie too - a true classic. And I absolutely ADORE your paperdoll series. You have made me a paperdoll junkie too! So darn fun!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that you didn't do any shading on her dress .... but it looks great without too. LOVE THE SERIES!
ReplyDeleteI actually did do some shading on her dress... after the video because I totally forgot lol!! I used a c2 Coptic marker and shaded all the areas on her apron. ;)
DeleteHi Stephanie! Love your work, can you please tell me where do you get those papers to stamp the dolls, the ones with letters. I can't find something similar. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteStephanie this is incredible. I love that movie and no prompting needed to know what movie you did!! Fantastic!
