Let me sleep

Happy Saturday everyone!

I used this fun CCC#87 Haunted Cuckoo Clock image and wanted to create a 'Do not disturb' kind of sign on my craft room door.. Well, as you can see the result isn't quite what it was meant to be 😛

I wanted to create a little more texture on this card/sign/whatever this is going to be. I coloured the walls and cutie birdie with alcohol markers. The roofs I coated with texture paste and I also added Glossy Accents on the clock part. 

I'm not a morning person so this is still quite me 😊

CAS Thank you card with rainbow colours

Hi everyone!

It's been awhile since I last time played with Oddball images, but now I'm back on track 😊

 

On this card I used this beautiful Moondrop Unicorn Girl rubber stamp. I wanted to try the rainbow colouring and used alcohol markers. I think the colouring could be better but well.. I just need more practise with this style.

Otherwise I kept the card simple. I just added the text, some glossy accents on the horn and a few half pearls.

Back to school

Hello!

I'm still in 'back to school' mode (my semester started this week) so I created this back to school card 😃

I used img 249 Whimsical Book Stacks and coloured the piles with alcohol markers. 

 

The background I did with stencil, Distress Inks and couple alphabet stamps. Back to school text is made with text editor and coloured with markers.

I also taped the image and back to school text with foam tape to create some dimension.

There is lots of books in this card, I really hope that I don't have to deal with that much information 😀

Fintastic!

Happy Saturday!

 

This time I wanted to do a something with a twist and this is what happened :)

I used IMG #476 Fortune Tellers Circus Magic Glass Ball & IMG #410 Whimsical Goldfish & Bubbles, assembled those with text editor and printed it. I coloured the image with alcohol markers and white gel pen. 

 

 I used Halloween 2018 Stay Creepy digi paper pack on the front and then I die cut an opening to a card base (I wanted to tape the image inside the card, so that there is little surprise). 

 

I also added die cut anchor and stamped New Job text.

 

And here's the inside part.

Fintastic is stamped and I doodled the frame.

It's my life

Hi everyone!

This time I made a decorative block to my craft room. 

 

I kept couple cardboard blocks that were in a box to protect furniture I ordered and finally I figured out what I could do with them 😊

 

I used Oddball image#93 Big Eye Chibi Girl With Speech Bubble and coloured it with alcohol markers. I covered the block with clear gesso and stone-effect paste. Then I attached the image with gel medium. I also added some black and pearlescent green acrylic paint because I didn't want the background to be too grey. Finally I added text stripes.

 

I don't know yet what I'm gonna do the other side of the block, but this works for now 😊

WTF!

Hi everyone!

New week has started and here's the new card I just finished ☺️

At this card I used Oddball images CCC 142 WTF Cactus and CCC 128 This is Halloween. I arranged the scene with text editor, then printed it and coloured the images with alcohol markers and white gel pen. The background I did with stencil and Distress Ink.

I have to admit that this is very topical card because I have forgotten few birthdays in few past months... Shame on me!

Foxy Hugs

 Hi again!

At this card I used Mr. Sweets the Fox img.192 and Perscilla Flower Girl rubber stamp.  I just love these images! 

I coloured the images with alcohol markers and wanted to try one of my unused stencils. So I did the background with stencil and Distress Inks. Then just die cutted hugs text where I also added turquoise glitter.

With this card I just went with the flow and I'm really happy with the result ☺️

Silly Seahorse

 Hi everyone!

I've been suffering of neck pain about two weeks and it was awful 'cause I couldn't do almost anything I love. I'm so happy that I finally got something crafty done, YAY!

So, here is my card where I used Sid the Silly Seahorse img.323 and Digital Paper Halloween 2018.

I arranged the image and text on background paper before I printed it. The image I coloured with alcohol markers and also added some Glossy accents over the air bubbles to create some 3D effect. Unfortunately it doesn't show well on the picture.

 

Hope you like it!

Hello everyone! 

Here is my new card using img 412 Jenny has the cure. 

I coloured the image with alcohol markers and kept the rest of the card simple - just blue/white washi tape and couple die cuts.

 I think this CAS works well, what do you think?

Thankful & Cozy

 Hello dear Oddballs!

It's Merja here ☺️ I made a card using new CCC133 Thankful & Cozy Gwendolyn digi image and background paper from CCC117 Sweet Smiling Skulls. 

Gwendolyn is so cute, don't you agree?! 

 

I  coloured the image with alcohol markers and added some texture to jackets fur with snow pen. I love the hair colour 💜

 

To the text frame I added some turquoise pearl pen and coloured the leaves with pink and purple. I also used paper distresser to the edges of the patterned paper.

 

I hope you like my card!

Warm winter wishes

 Hello!

Here's my newest creations with Oddball stamps.  

 I wanted to do something funny and wintery but not Christmas (because I've done those so much lately). I started with image 138 Kawaii Snowman and combined it with CCC116 Long Summer Night and  CCC127 Pumpkins Please to create the scene. I used alcohol markers for coloring and white gel pen for the text.

Hope you like it ☺️

New Release Easel Calendar with Suzi

Today I'd like to share with you a project I've created with one of the gorgeous new releases, I've used the beautiful 'Bridal Party image#421' on an Easel Calendar

Isn't she beautiful.  I fell in love as soon as I saw her, and had to team her up with some pretty papers.

I've coloured her with Alcohol Markers, and added some sparkle to her hair and dress with some glitter pens.

I also created a coordinating envelope to go with the calendar;

It´s Technique Time: Soap Bubble

Hello Oddballs

Tina: It´s technique time...

Today I would like to show you, as you can easily create a background.

The technique is called

"Soap Bubble Technique"

And here comes the photo tutorial

1.

You need

*Disposable gloves

*Drinking straws

*Something to stir

*Not too high containers

*Acrylic paints of your choice

*Dish Soap

2.

Now you put some dish soap in your bowl...

3.

and add a little color to it ...

mix it

4.

Now use the drinking straw carefully,

until there are so many bubbles that protrude beyond the edge.

If it does not make enough bubbles ... 

the mixture simply with the ingredients still expand.

5.

Now take a white piece of Cardstock and

place it gently over the bubbles.

Then lift the paper off immediately.

6.

The result should look something like this ...

The process a few times in different places

repeat on the paper!

7.

Now you can repeat everything with one or two other colors,

until you like the background.

And now everything has to dry well ... about 2-3 hrs.

Do not dab with a cloth over it . it ruins the soap bubbles!

In the meantime you can edit the motif or

prepare the design of your card.

Here is my finish card

I used for this Easter card the image

"Evie n Bunny"

#30

I colored with Touch Twin Markers

Can you see

how beautiful the soap bubbles look in the background?

I would be very happy,

if you use this technique for your next work and

took part in our Challenge in the Oddball Facebook Group.

This way...

See you soon...

A Little Inspiration from Suzi

Hello My fellow Oddballer's, today I'd like to share with you a very quick tutorial and card featuring one of the latest new release images.

I couldn't resist using the adorable Hudson image#363, he is such a cutie.  I wanted to try something a little different when colouring his outfit, so I decide to give him a plaid shirt.

I chose 4 different colours of Alcohol Pens , for this project I used Letraset Promarkers and Tria Markers.  I created the pattern using a layer of lines for each colour, here are a couple of pictures of my practice sheet, to give you the idea;

As you can see the pattern builds up really quickly.  Once I was happy with my pattern, I used the same technique to colour Hudson's shirt;

Once I'd got the pattern onto Hudson's shirt, I added some shading using Neutral Grey markers.  I added some more colour to the pattern once I'd coloured the rest of the image, just to make his shirt stand out a little more.  I then added some highlights with white gel pen.

For the rest of my project, I took patterned papers from a coordinate pack and layered them onto a white card blank.  I trimmed my image and stamped the sentiment, before adding some hand doodles borders to all my papers.

I added my image to a patterned paper before adding it to my card with some dimensional foam pads to add a little depth to the card.

That's all from me for today
Bye for now
Suzi
