Tutorial - Trick or treat card wit alcohol inks

Hello Oddball lovers and happy Halloween!

Here is my newest card using awesome new CCC 128 This is Halloween image. Isn't the image so cute and inspiring?!

 

 

I also made you a tutorial how to do this card, so here we go.. 

 

So, grab synthetic paper and alcohol inks and start creating. Remember that the smell is pretty intensive, so make sure you have good ventilation.

1. Hold the paper upright and trickle the alcohol ink from over part (picture 1).

2. Do the same thing with multiple colours (picture 2).

3. Turn the paper (lower side up) and do the same thing with colours you like (picture 3).

4. Put the paper down and add some extender. 

5. Put the baking paper (or similar) over the ink paper and smooth it with your hand (picture 4).

6. Take the baking paper away and the background is ready (picture 5). If you want you can do steps 4-6 multiple times.

Here is another technique (I used these both at my card):

1. Use some extender on your synthetic paper (I used spray bottle).

2. Drop various colours of alcohol inks to paper (picture 1).

3. Take a straw and blow the inks from different sides (picture 2).

4. You can do these steps multiple times if you want. My final creation is shown on picture 3.

Then you need to colour the stamp.  I used this beautiful CCC 128 It is Halloween digistamp and some pumpkins from CCC 125 Spooky Season and Members October Exclusive image. I coloured those with Promarkers, PromarkerBrush's and Copics.

Here is the colours I used (C= Copics, P= Promarkers):

Skin: Cinnamon, Tan, Putty, Satin, Almond (all P).

Hat & top: green - G99 (C), Forest green (P), Bright green (P), Lime green (P), YG03 (C), YG00 (C).

Hat, top, pumpkins: orange - Burnt orange (P), YR07 (C), YR04 (C), YR02 (C), YR000 (C).

Pants: BV29, BV08, BV17, BV13, BV02 (all C).

Hair & banner: BV08, BV17, BV13, BV02 (all C).

Bats:  Black (P), C7 (C), Cool grey 3-5 (P).

When colouring is done, cut the images. 

If you want you can use cutting dies to make a frame (or something else) for you card.

Then just mix these all parts together and create your own card 😃

And here again is the result where I ended up.

 

Wow, there was so much information. I hope you understood everything. English isn't my native language, so sometimes it's hard to find the right words. If you have any guestions just let me know!  And I hope to see your creations too, please post them to Oddball facebook group so everyone can admire those!

And again HAVE A HAPPY (and little spooky) HALLOWEEN!

 

Frankenstein bookmark

Hello everyone!

 

This is my first post here on Oddball blog, but certainly not the last 😀

I wanted to show you a bookmark I made for my hubby. He loves to read horror stories so I think this suits well for him. 

 

 I used Frankenstein #92 digi stamp and coloured it with alcohol markers. I wanted to use little different skin colour for this (I have coloured many greens and greys), so I used blue-greens.

 

 

 

 

On the background I have used stencil, pasta, Distress Oxides and different sprays (it's made earlier this year). Then I wanted to add something to ribbons too, so there is now eyes and spiders and BLOOD (acrylic paint).

 I hope this inspires you to do your own bookmarks. Happy reading an crafting moments to everyone!

 

Oh, almost forgot -  remember to use code DTMER1 on Oddball Art Website so you get 2 digi stamps and pay only one!
