Party Time!

Did you see that the 100th issue of Oddball Art's Creepy Cute Chronicles is launching tonight?  That's right, the 100th issue!  And celebrate this milestone, I am creating an extra special and large art project!  Today I have pulled out a full piece of 8.5x11 inches watercolor paper and combined this week's Creepy Cute Chronicles's free digital stamp and IMG443 Mermaid of the Stars and IMG434 Zombie Unicorn.  Because let's be honest, what's a party without a few of your closet friends!

I started by printing out the CCC100, IMG443 and IMG434 digital stamps out onto watercolor paper.

I then colored in each of the stamps with my Zig Real Brush water color pens.  I went vibrate with the Mermaid.

I stuck to a pretty traditional color palette for the ghost, focusing on pale grays.

For the Unicorn Zombie, I experiment with a pale purple and light gray to see if I could get an eerie feeling.  What do you think?  Was I close?

Finally, I went with bold and bright colors for the banners, because lets be frank....it's a party.

I then added a layer of Distress Oxide in Frayed Burlap around the edges of the massive project.

I then added layers of paint over the ink to create a rust effect to lock in the digital images into the
paper.

Finally I added several dollops of White Blizzard Nuvo drops around the project to add so sparkly (cause you know, it's a party).

What do you think?  Is this a party you would want to attend?  Let me know in the comments below.

And make sure you pop over to the Oddball Art Instagram Page.  The party will be continuing over there to celebrate the 100th issue of Creepy Cute Chronicles.

Video Tutorial - Bell Crank Mechanism Card

Hello Oddballs

It´s me, Tina: And again, I created an interactive card of the mysterious Bell Crank Mechanism.

Some of you wanted to know how to make this bell crank mechanism, which I already used in my last Halloween card. 

Okay, that can be explained in a bad way, so I did a video tutorial about it.

Here's the sketch you'll see in the video.

Video Tutorial

I used the following images:
#322 - Whimsical Seashell Set, #323 - Cute Seahorse Sid the Silly Seahorse, 
#410 - Goldfish & Bubbles - Fishies, #443 - Mermaid of the Stars,

All I Hoped To Find

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK here sneaking in today to remind you that the current monthly challenge is underway!

This month the theme is "Mermaids from Outer Space", but as always that theme is optional.  The Design Team always loves seeing how you play with Oddball digital stamps, so make sure you load your design for a chance to randomly win a prize for participating.

Today I am playing with one of the new digital stamps from Oddball, IMG443 Mermaid of the Stars.

I colored the image up with my copic markers, making the decission to make my mermaid sea tinted green with seaweed inspired hair.  

I added color to the background with Black Soot Distress Oxide.  Then I splattered Spectrum Noir sparkle pen all over the card to create stars.  Finally, I added a sentiment from a Tim Holtz sentiment stick pack.

I can't wait to see what you add to the challenge.  If you need a new digi to play along this month, feel free to use the code DTEK10 to get 10% off your purchase.
