New DT Announcement at Oddball Art Co

I am so excited and thrilled to have joined the Oddball Art Co Design Team! You might have seen my post last week, well, today Lizzy Love is announcing the new DT members on the Oddball Blog so I've created a new project just for that!

This is image #122 from the Etsy Store and I have given her a zombie green skin makeover to go with her sewn lips and blank eyes. I've used Promarkers as always for the colouring and fussy cut the image. My DP is from the Bo Bunny Fright Delight paper pad. The Bat Frame and 'Boo' sentiment were both cut on the Cameo using Silhouette Store files.

Oddball Art Co News!

Oh this last few weeks have been a mixed bag for me. My 13yo broke his arm, had surgery to pin the bone, hubby is taking a study break from uni, and my aunt lost her long brave battle with cancer - lots of anxiety, pain and sadness. And then I got an email from the lovely Audrey at Oddball Art Co inviting me to join the DT for their Challenge Blog! So now add excitement into the mix.

Here is a card I have made last night using papers from Bo Bunny and die cuts from the Silhouette store made on my Cameo. The image is #69 Big Eye Creepy Cute Bat Girl and I've coloured her with Promarkers. The glittery circle is from my Halloween stash!
