New Release - Bookworm IMG395

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

I am using the New Release Bookworm IMG395

Another uber cute owl and what an awesome sentiment to go with her!!!!!

I coloured her with Neon copic markers and then decided to step out of my comfort zone....deep breath! and create a canvas piece!

I like her a lot!
I used Gesso over a newsprint patterned paper (just a few spots peeking out) to give an added interest.
Various paints used along with Distress Oxide inks on the background of the Owl and the doily.
Still learning with this oxide ink but am happy with my effort so far.
I also used a few various stencils for my canvas background.

I would love to see some of you using her for your Challenge entry here at the Blog.

New Release - Sweetie Pie IMG394

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

This time round I have made a card using Sweetie Pie IMG394

Ekkkkkkkkkkkk how uber cute is she!!!!!
Love her!

I coloured her and her heart with copic markers and popped her heart up on a foam dot to give some dimension.
Added a few dies cuts and patterned paper and a very sweet card ready to make someone smile!

Don't forget to use My Discount Code in the store and I hope to see your colouring of Sweetie Pie!

New Release - Carly Marley IMG385

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

I have made another Art Journal Page using Carly Marley IMG385 a&b.

I love how it turned out and have to tell you that I am thankful that the pains I suffer aren't that chronic that the only way to ease it is in the form of Medical Marijuana.
I also hate that there is such a stigma around it for those who's need is genuine. Clearly it's by people that are lucky not to experience pain no more than a headache!

How cute is that Unicorn!

All digi images coloured with copic markers.
My Journal Page has been created with paints, Distress Oxide Inks and Distress Inks using assorted stencils and stamps.

Don't forget to use My Discount Code in the store and I hope to see your colouring of Carly!
