My Last Oddball Art Design Team Project

Hello Lovelies,

As you have read in the title, today i am here to share with you my last project as a member of Oddball art's design team and FB co-ordinator. I had a great ride and met a lot of amazing people in the last year and i am grateful for the experience Lizzy Love gave me as being Facebook co-ordinator.

My last project is for the Facebook anything goes challenge over at Mixed Mediaology and I created a card. 

I was inspired by a photo i saw on Instagram posted by @getmessyartjournal where they made a similar background on an art journal page using washi tape. I took out all my favorite washi tapes and decided to try to re-create my own version of this.  I also added scraps of pink glitter paper that i had sitting on my desk from a previous project.

I used a flower i got from michaels a while back and some glitter pieces also from michaels. My sentiment was made using my dymo label maker and i colored up the digi with my copics.

Well, i guess this is it folks. Thanks for stopping by and thank you to Lizzy Love for having me on her design team. On that note, have you heard about the new DT call? There’s been some new changes and awesome added opportunities added and you all should check it out and apply if you are interested in being a part of a great community and Design Team. Good luck to everyone who applies.

 I can't wait to see this new design team and all the greatness coming in the future.

Talk soon <3

Hey Lovelies,

It is time for a new challenge over at the Oddball Stamp Blog! The theme for this challenge is NONTRADITIONAL HAIR. Enter our challenge for a chance to win 3 free digital stamps of your choice! You have plenty of time to join; the challenge will end on September 14th! So let's get started!

This time around I made 3 project life cards for my friend Cindy's halloween giveaway. I know the theme is nontraditional hair color, but because I always use nontraditional hair colors already in most of my projects like pink, purples, and blues, for me nontraditional hair is what is considered traditional. Did I just lose you there? Hope not, so I went with black and brown.

My first card is 4x6 and I used one of my absolute all time favorite digi Bride of Frankenstein. I used a die cut tombstone and fence and a tombstone sticker along with some bling to finish off this card.

The next card is using Dracula Boy

And the last card is my favorite! I used the creepy cute ghost bat digi. I recently got eyeball epoxy stickers and I couldn't help but put them on this ghosty. It's so cute!! I then add some candy stickers and lots of bling.

which card is your favorite? I would love to hear from you.

Forever Haunted | Oddball Art Design Team Challenge

 Hey Lovelies,

It is time for a new challenge over at the Oddball Stamp Blog! The theme for this challenge is simple, just show off your coloring skills using any color medium you like. Just have fun with it. Enter our challenge for a chance to win 3 free digital stamps of your choice!!

So come on play along, you have plenty of time to join; the challenge will end on August 14th!

Those who follow me on Facebook and youtube know that I have been on a halloween kick, I cannot wait to get my hands on some of the new halloween goodies for this year! I am also hosting a halloween project swap this month so I've been playing with my halloween stash and created this card.

I had colored other digis using pencil crayons and water-colour crayons but I feel most comfortable with copics so I started over.

I used the Fairy Batgirl digi. I absolutely adore her. I added wink of stella in clear to her batwings and dress.

The flowers and ribbons were gifted to me in some recent happy mail from my friends Susumu and Elizabeth. 

I used my new Diemond Dies to create this circle card and my new Bigkick that I won from Susumu.

Isn't she lovely?

Sing A Song | Stampotique ATC Swap

Hello Lovelies,

I must admit I haven't been feeling the best again so I haven't been making much projects or youtube videos. I became sick again for the 2nd time this month but I am starting to feel better. So I joined a Stampotique ATC swap for the month of July and the theme is "Sing a Song". Not gonna lie, it took me a long time to make these 2 little ATCs  but I like how they turned out.  I will be entering these ATCs in different challenges. For the Sing a Song swap I decided to use song lyrics/song titles.

This first ATC will be entered in Haunted Design House "number of the beast" challenge to celebrate the 666+1 followers. You had to use a monster or beastie or anything that you  can be inspired with from the challenge name. 

So I used Mink by Stampotique because she gives off a creepy beastie feel and I love it! And my song lyric is from the song "Skulls"  by one of my favourite bands The Misfits. I hope it is beastie enough. The background was made using gel medium and a Tim Holtz stencil called Shattered. I love how it turned out and I applied my own homemade high flow acrylic black paint on top.

For my second ATC I made it with the new Stampotique Challenge in mind. The theme is "love, anniversary, wedding" and I went with love.

The song I picked is called "Give Me Love" by another one of my favorite bands The Used. The heart in the background was made from one of my homemade Gelli Plate and I just stamped on it and cut out heart shapes. I used various heart punches and glitter tape to punch out hearts. And I love the little acrylic flower on her hair. The stamp I used is Chicken by Stampotique.

I will also enter this ATC in Simon Says "anything goes" challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Polka Dots Galore

Hello Lovelies,

For today's post I have a quick card share. I need to start growing my card inventory for when I have happy mail to send out so I started with this cute card I made for Stampotique's new challenge: Pink, Turquoise and Polka Dots.  Make sure to check them out and you could win a great prize.

I started with a plain white card base and used Distress Paint in Picked Raspberries and Silks Acrylic Glaze in Guatemalan Green which is actually a gorgeous turquoise-y color and I used some punchinella and my new dots stencil to create my polka dots. I just had fun with the stencils and decided to layer the colors.

The stamp I used is called Kitty Squad and I colored them up with my copics and added some stickles and wink of stella to them.

I then added some glitter ribbon tape and black polka dot fabric tape and stamped "hi there" with a new alphabet set I recently bought.

Thanks for stopping by,

Zombie Bunny "Hoppy Easter" Card | Oddball Art Design Team Challenge #2

Hello Lovelies,

I am here today with the 2nd Oddball Art Stamp challenge for the month of April! 

 The theme for this challenge is EASTER/SPRING. You could enter any recent project you made along as it fits in with the theme of Easter, easy right? I bet a lot of you are making many easter cards so make sure to enter them into our challenge for a chance to win 3 free digital stamps of your choice!!

So come on, choose a digi and play along! You have plenty of time to join; the challenge will end on May 14th!

For my DT project, I wanted to showcase this amazing zombie bunny digi that comes with the Zombie Girl Digi. She is so cute! So I made a 6x6 Easter card. I have a process video down below showing exactly what I used and did to create this card. I also show how I colored in the bunny using my Copic markers and Spectrum Noirs.

One thing that may not show up in some of the pictures is that I added Glossy Accents to her heart and added Wink of Stella all over the outline of the bunny, so she is super shimmery!

This is the main image the bunny came with. I added her to the inside of the card.
