Tutorial - Trick or treat card wit alcohol inks

Hello Oddball lovers and happy Halloween!

Here is my newest card using awesome new CCC 128 This is Halloween image. Isn't the image so cute and inspiring?!

 

 

I also made you a tutorial how to do this card, so here we go.. 

 

So, grab synthetic paper and alcohol inks and start creating. Remember that the smell is pretty intensive, so make sure you have good ventilation.

1. Hold the paper upright and trickle the alcohol ink from over part (picture 1).

2. Do the same thing with multiple colours (picture 2).

3. Turn the paper (lower side up) and do the same thing with colours you like (picture 3).

4. Put the paper down and add some extender. 

5. Put the baking paper (or similar) over the ink paper and smooth it with your hand (picture 4).

6. Take the baking paper away and the background is ready (picture 5). If you want you can do steps 4-6 multiple times.

Here is another technique (I used these both at my card):

1. Use some extender on your synthetic paper (I used spray bottle).

2. Drop various colours of alcohol inks to paper (picture 1).

3. Take a straw and blow the inks from different sides (picture 2).

4. You can do these steps multiple times if you want. My final creation is shown on picture 3.

Then you need to colour the stamp.  I used this beautiful CCC 128 It is Halloween digistamp and some pumpkins from CCC 125 Spooky Season and Members October Exclusive image. I coloured those with Promarkers, PromarkerBrush's and Copics.

Here is the colours I used (C= Copics, P= Promarkers):

Skin: Cinnamon, Tan, Putty, Satin, Almond (all P).

Hat & top: green - G99 (C), Forest green (P), Bright green (P), Lime green (P), YG03 (C), YG00 (C).

Hat, top, pumpkins: orange - Burnt orange (P), YR07 (C), YR04 (C), YR02 (C), YR000 (C).

Pants: BV29, BV08, BV17, BV13, BV02 (all C).

Hair & banner: BV08, BV17, BV13, BV02 (all C).

Bats:  Black (P), C7 (C), Cool grey 3-5 (P).

When colouring is done, cut the images. 

If you want you can use cutting dies to make a frame (or something else) for you card.

Then just mix these all parts together and create your own card 😃

And here again is the result where I ended up.

 

Wow, there was so much information. I hope you understood everything. English isn't my native language, so sometimes it's hard to find the right words. If you have any guestions just let me know!  And I hope to see your creations too, please post them to Oddball facebook group so everyone can admire those!

And again HAVE A HAPPY (and little spooky) HALLOWEEN!

 

Frankenstein bookmark

Hello everyone!

 

This is my first post here on Oddball blog, but certainly not the last 😀

I wanted to show you a bookmark I made for my hubby. He loves to read horror stories so I think this suits well for him. 

 

 I used Frankenstein #92 digi stamp and coloured it with alcohol markers. I wanted to use little different skin colour for this (I have coloured many greens and greys), so I used blue-greens.

 

 

 

 

On the background I have used stencil, pasta, Distress Oxides and different sprays (it's made earlier this year). Then I wanted to add something to ribbons too, so there is now eyes and spiders and BLOOD (acrylic paint).

 I hope this inspires you to do your own bookmarks. Happy reading an crafting moments to everyone!

 

Oh, almost forgot -  remember to use code DTMER1 on Oddball Art Website so you get 2 digi stamps and pay only one!

Writing Speech Bubble Sentiments Letter to Mom... or not

Hello everybody!

Today I share with you this inspiration card made with the digital stamp Img #377 Writing Speech Bubble Sentiments Letter to Mom and I show you how to use a stamp of one theme in another completely opposite.

This girl who wrote a letter for the Mothers' Day, has gone on to become a student waiting for September to pass.

The background is made with a stencil and the Worm Lipstick Distress Ink. The table is drawn directly on the cardboard with alcohol markers. 

The window is cut with a die and the blue sky clouds masking the area before inking.

The doll is painted with alcohol markers.

Creepy Cute Chronicles #62:Jolly Bear

Hi everybody! I’m Irene and this is my first tutorial as a OddballArt Stamps DT. I’m very happy to be here.

For this my first project I used this week freebie image, CCC #62 Jolly Bear, which you will have on your mails this night if you are sucribed to the Oddball newsletter. 

I also used too the digital stamp Zombie Graveyard Inmortal Love (img #368) and the Bee Happy Spring Flowers, Bees and Sentiment (img #534), all of them colored with alcohol markers.

I coloured the grass of the background and the little bear with the stippling tecnique. 

And I made the sky with Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet Distress Inks, using my makeup brushes (LOL) and masking with a post-it the graveyard. And I went over the white edges with ink and a cotton swab.

I cuted de flowers of the img 534 for use only a couple in my card. So that they did not stand out too much, I went over the edges with one of the markers I used for the grass.

I wrote the sentiment with black gel pen.
