"Cemeteries"

and are chosen as one of our winners.......

1 Grand Prize Winner if less then 15 entries and

a TOP 3 too if more then 15 entries!

We have a few simple rules for you to follow if you want to play along in our challenge:

New Release - The Last Survivor IMG400

Hi Oddballs - Angie here with another Inspiration Post for New Releases.

I am using the The Last Survivor IMG400.

Must say I am loving creating in my Art Journal a lot lately, so much fun!

This is a great set of images based around Ripley and Aliens - can't you just see those Aliens popping up everywhere for Halloween!

Ok, so coloured with my copic markers and gel pens.
Background using my Gelli Plate, paints, stencils, inks and stamps.
That awesome saying is from a Jaded Blossom stamp set and I've used my Black Aquarellable pencil around it.

New Release - Steampunk Sally IMG380

Hi Oddballs - Angie here with another Inspiration Post for New Releases.

I am using Steampunk Sally IMG380.

What a sweetie! and how cute to have a pet Octopus!!!

Coloured with copic markers.
I created my Journal Page background using my Gelli Plate with assorted paints and stencils.
I then added some stamps using Impress Jet Black ink.
The Halloween Sentiment comes with Sally so it was just perfect to use.
I think Sally and her Octopus pet could be used for any project really, very cute.
