Sparkle

Hi..

My name is Lena and I'm a guest designer for March with Oddball Art. I was on the design team a few years back and I still love these images with all my heart.

Today I'm using image #109, Kawaii Maddie n friends go back to school. 

My background paper is made using Distress inks and an acrylic block. I stamped and embossed my sentiment with a pretty sparkly embossing powder that I've had in my craft stash forever. The sentiment is from a stamp set by Taylored Expressions. It's called "Be a unicorn".

I used my ZIG Clean Color Brush pens to color Maddie.

I fussy cut Maddie and glued her to my pink distressed paper. A also used some sparkly paper for a frame and her spilling sparkles :-)

An Oddball Halloween

Hey Oddballs...its EK and I am popping in to remind you that there is still time to play with the current challenge over at Oddball Art.  Since it is October and the high holly days at Oddball (aka Halloween) it is the challenge is the perfect theme...Monsters on Parade.

Today I am using IMG 106 Halloween Candy Corn and IMG406 Halloween Ghouls to create my Halloween themed card.

I colored the images up with my copic makers and fussy cut them out.  Then using some halloween themed printed paper, I created a fun spooky themed background for my candy corn and ghosts to had out on.  I also love the piece of halloween themed ephemera that I found to add as a sentiment for this project.

I also added a few drops of glow in the dark Nuvo Drops, because who doesn't want their halloween cards to glow in the dark.

This isn't a great photo, but you can sort of see how the drops are glowing!

I really can't wait to see how you play with this month's theme.  Until then, Happy Crafting!

Writing Speech Bubble Sentiments Letter to Mom... or not

Hello everybody!

Today I share with you this inspiration card made with the digital stamp Img #377 Writing Speech Bubble Sentiments Letter to Mom and I show you how to use a stamp of one theme in another completely opposite.

This girl who wrote a letter for the Mothers' Day, has gone on to become a student waiting for September to pass.

The background is made with a stencil and the Worm Lipstick Distress Ink. The table is drawn directly on the cardboard with alcohol markers. 

The window is cut with a die and the blue sky clouds masking the area before inking.

The doll is painted with alcohol markers.

Creepy Cute Chronicles #62:Jolly Bear

Hi everybody! I’m Irene and this is my first tutorial as a OddballArt Stamps DT. I’m very happy to be here.

For this my first project I used this week freebie image, CCC #62 Jolly Bear, which you will have on your mails this night if you are sucribed to the Oddball newsletter. 

I also used too the digital stamp Zombie Graveyard Inmortal Love (img #368) and the Bee Happy Spring Flowers, Bees and Sentiment (img #534), all of them colored with alcohol markers.

I coloured the grass of the background and the little bear with the stippling tecnique. 

And I made the sky with Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet Distress Inks, using my makeup brushes (LOL) and masking with a post-it the graveyard. And I went over the white edges with ink and a cotton swab.

I cuted de flowers of the img 534 for use only a couple in my card. So that they did not stand out too much, I went over the edges with one of the markers I used for the grass.

I wrote the sentiment with black gel pen.
