Spooky Garden Flowers!

 

This is today's post for Oddball Art Co !

For this project I am using

Digital Stamp Creepy Cute Eyeball & Bones Flowers Spooky Garden Image No. 340

I have produced another journal page...

Step ONE

First I prepared a background.

After a layer of white gesso, I added colour using water colours, sprays and inks. The trees are stamped with black Archival using some unnamed stamps.

 

Step TWO

I printed the images and added colour with watercolours and black and white pens.

Step THREE

I cut out the various images.

Step FOUR

I then decided where I was going to place all the images and attached them with white glue.

Step FIVE

I added black distress around the edges and white coloured pencil round all the images.  The sentiment is one I had in my stash (from Karen Yates).

Finally I added more splatter.

Card "Octopus" by Roberta Cercato

 

Hello friends!

Today I created this card with one of Oddball Art's digital stamps, specifically I used Whimsical Steampunk Octopus Freddie "Legs" Wise-Key Image no. 250

To make the card I first printed the digital on cardboard suitable for use with alcohol markers and colored it with Spectrum Noir Classique.

To create the background I had a lot of fun!

It has been a while since I bought some Finnabair products and this time I wanted to dare a little more .... I really like the result!

First I passed a coat of white chalk, glued the gears and I ran black chalk.

Once dry, with a brush I applied various colors of Finnabair wax, green, orange and blue; finally I attached a few pieces of gold leaf here and there.

And here is a detail of my project

Did you like my card?

See you soon with another project!

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 😀

Hello there

Like last week, today Friday I bring you a simple and quick tutorial on how to make your backgrounds with Oddball Stamps to make a super easy One Layer Card.

For today's card I have used images #284 Kawaii Seals & Big Eye Girl on Rescue Boat image set, #313 Set of 10 suns with and without faces and #507 Palm Trees Flag & sentiment Pirate Caves.

The result is this summery and so nice card.

The method to complete it is the same as that of last week's card. First of all, you must carry out a preliminary work on your computer, mounting the images in the position you want in an image and/or photography editing program. In my case, I used GIMP, a very complete and easy-to-use free software program. Remember to use the images in png format.

Then you just have to print your card and color it with the medium of your choice

Quick, easy and with perfect results.

I hope you like it and inspire and encourage you to make your own creations.

See you!

Hello Pumpkin

 Hi crafty friends,

Halloween is around the corner and that means there are a lot of Pumpkins and Skeletons on my desk. You can call me Halloween obsessed. Current mood is Pumpkin spice, so I created a card with image CCC#68 TIS THE SEASON

https://www.oddballartco.com/product-page/ccc-68-tis-the-season-creepy-cute-chronicles

I printed the image and colored it the image with Copic Markers.

I used a book page from an old French book that I found in a thrift store and aged the edged with some black ink. Glued it onto black paper. Then I added a piece of black and white polkadot ribbon, a paper spider web and the round 31 (from Tim Holtz). 

Finally I added the quote "Hello Pumpkin" and some rhinestones, et voila. 

Happy crafting.

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.

Mermaids have more fun!

Hi there!

Today's tutorial is on how to make a “one layer” card with your Oddball Stamps digital images.

Lately I have shown you several card designs with backgrounds drawn and colored by me, freehand. But if you do not feel safe and do not dare to try it on your own, you can make use of some digital stamps that would form a very simple background, but it turned out.

In the case of this card I have used the images #320 Mermaid Nixie Spirit of the Sea, #505 Creepy Cute Coconut and #507 Palm Trees, Flag & Sentiment Pirate Coves to create an island where to put the mermaid having a coconut soda while rests lying on the sand.

Doing it does not require much knowledge, just have a photo editing program installed and use the .png files that come in the .rar folders that you get when you buy the stamps.

I always use GIMP, a very easy-to-use free software with many utilities (very similar to Photoshop).

When you open your program, you can load the images or create a new document with the dimensions you want. I chose the size of a card. Then you simply upload your stamps, resize them and place them to the size and position in which you want them in your scene. To superimpose one on top of the other (as in the case of the coconut that is above the mermaid) or when loading the images, you do it in order from the furthest to the closest, or you reorder the layers of your file. When you have the basic scene (no horizon lines or any other details, just the stamps in the correct position and size), save your file in .png format

Then it is to follow the steps we normally take to print our digital stamps. Open a .doc, you don't need to resize since you saved it to the size of your card, and you print.

Once in paper format, you just have to color it with your favorite medium and you will get a finished panel ready to stick on your card base.

Super simple and quick to do.

I hope you like it and inspire and encourage you to make your own creations.

Journal Page with Steampunk Octopus

This is today's post for Oddball Art Co !

For this project I am using the steampunk octopus

IMG 250 Freddie Legs Wise-key

I have produced a journal page...

Step ONE

After a layer of white gesso, I added some collage - brown paper and tissue, book paper and some paper that I had scribbled on - all torn to pieces and added with matt medium.

Step TWO

A layer of several colours of turquoise and white paint. I then wiped some of this off through a  stencil with a wet wipe.

Step THREE

I added stamping using black Archival and a variety of Darkroom Door stamps and a die cut net using a Bee Arty die.

Step FOUR

I printed the octopus and painted it with shimmery water colours and then cut it out.

Step FIVE

I added some black and white penwork and some black distress around the edges.

I added more stamping, the octopus and the sentiment. This was cut using a LeighSB Designs cut file and I added the gold watercolour to it.

Card "Flowers shall grow" by Roberta Cercato

 

Good morning friends!

Today I keep you company with a project that is still very summer .....

As soon as I saw this Oddball Art digital stamp I liked it immediately and I thought about using it for a card.

The digital stamp is Creepy Cute Big Eye Hula Girl Spooky Sue; I printed it and colored it with my inseparable Spectrum Noir Classique.

For the background this time I wanted to dare a little more .... I had bought some Finnabair products and I wanted to experiment with them.

First of all I passed some black chalk on the background making some ripples.

Once dry, with a cloth I passed the waxes, orange, purple and green and I got this beautiful effect.

I really like it, I think I will continue to experiment with these products!

See you soon with another colorful project!

Roberta

💓💓 Love from Deep...an octopus love-card by ilCiecoFuffo💓💓

Hello to all and all my Kittens, I am always a little fugitive but there are ... for you today I have a new card with a color that I had not done for a long time !!!

First of all the stamp .. it is a Digital of OddballArtStamp that I had for a long time in my PC,

Whimsical Steampunk Octopus Freddie "Legs" Wise-Key Image No. 250,

I had bought it even before being part of the DT, a tender octopus or a calmed Kraken? How do you see it? Between tender and Steampunk, it was love at first sight.

To color it I used the Caran d'Ache watercolor pencils that, honestly, I had in my drawer for millennia🤭 but never used. Will you tell me, still watercolor with images printed by printer and not with waterproof ink? And yes!!! I'm not giving up! I'll make that ugly halo of melted ink disappear, and this time I did it!

First I printed on Canson 300gsr watercolor paper and then I watered everything down and dried and then watered and dried again, and so on for about 4 times, until all the ink that had not set on the paper ran out😈😈😈 .

At this point I started coloring with my watercolor pencils by layering different colors and intensities ... cabbage I forgot how funny they were ❤️ Just color piece by piece and then pass the water to alternate areas ... I know in words it's complicated!

However, I have given some metallic touches with the Gansai Tambi Starry for the hat, the lens and the googles.

The background is always made with pencils on which I applied some drops of glue and once dry they will allow the foil to cling.

The sentiment is made with two mediums, a die and a cut made with my Maky, "Love" is in fact a WaffleFlower die on watercolor paper by me, while "from Deep" is carved on pink Bazzil foil with the Cricut maker.

I then glued my writing and off to the frame that I made with a light blue 220gsr cardboard, also from Canson.

And go ... it's over❤️ And do you ever use watercolor pencils? Do you have a light touch or do you like to go heavy with color?

I'm waiting for you here on the Oddball Blog and on my social channels for any questions ...

Random Kiss

yours
