Zombies Need Love Too

Hey Oddball fans...It's EK from ekgorman designs and I am sneaking in today to share some valentines cards I whipped up for a couple of zombies in my life...because let's be honest, zombies need love too.

 

I started by printing out the two digital stamps, IMG 280 Valentines Day Love Sick Heidi and IMG367 Valentine Undead Leni.

 

I pulled out my copics and colored in both of their undead flesh.  Leni got a pasty colored flesh using E40, E41, E43, and E44.  Heidi was colored with E40, E41, YG91, YG93, and YG95.

 

Wanting the zombie to be the star of the show, I pulled out my W5, W6, and W9 to color in accessories around the zombies.

 

Eyes and lips were hit with a little W1, W3, and W5.

 

Finally, Leni's hair was colored with G24, G94 and G99 while Heidi's hair was colored a little more traditionally with some E44, E47, E29 and E49.  I also surrouned the zombie ladies with some R20, R22, and R24.

 

Love Sick Heidi got trimmed up a little a matted with some red cardstock.  I also pulled out some black glitter paper, so Heidi could feel special on this the day of love, and adhered it to some more red cardstock.

 

I added a few red adhesive dots some Heidi knows that she isn't left out this year for Valentine's Day.

  

 

Undead Leni got trimmed up and matted with some black cardstock.  She got some pink glitter paper that was also matted with black cardstock.

 

Leni was given a bit more glam with some black rhinestones, a black flower and some mini rhinestones. 

 As Valentine's Day approaches don't forget to give a little love to the undead in your life.  They need love too.

Devilish Delights

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK from ekgorman designs sneaking in today with a little copic coloring video.

With Halloween (the best holiday) just around the corner, I have demons, spooks, ghouls and ghosts on the mind, so I thought it might be fitting to do a little devilish card that wasn't centered around Halloween, but had a bit of Devilish appeal.

I printed out IMG252 Fearsome Fiona and Teddy and then pulled out my new copic airbrush machine to play around with.  I have new video up sharing how I created everything, and if you want to see it in HD, click here.

I've Got It All Together

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK from ekgorman designs and I am sneaking into let you know I've got a new coloring video up.

Today I am playing around with the digital stamp IMG81 Witch Sassy & Sissy Cat and some black cardstock.  Did you know that you can print your digital stamps onto black cardstock?  That's right, you can!

Today I am using my new colored pencils to really make this image pop out on some dark cardstock.

To help everyone see how I this process of coloring on dark cardstock works, I went ahead and whipped up a little video sharing my coloring techniques.  To pop over to my channel and see the video in HD, click here.

Thanks for popping in today and checking out my project.  Make sure if you play around with some dark cardstock that you share your projects with Lizzy and the team over on the Facebook!

Happiness is...

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK from ekgorman designs, sneaking in today to share a little CAS card I created using my favorite colored pencils.

Today I am playing around with IMG19 Camper Girl Cassidy from the Big Eyed girl collection.

For today's project I pulled out, like I said my favorite colored pencil set, the Derwent Drawing pencils.  Now I own some five different brand of colored pencils, but despite its limited color range, these are my favorite.  These colors are really soft and in a wide range of natural and sepia tones.  Needless to say, their limited color range is perfect for a clean and simple card.

I additionally added a fun sentiment added in some denim blue ink, to add to the sweet mischief look on Cassidy's face.  The card got adhered onto a Kraft A2 card frame.

Do you play around with different brands of colored pencils?  What is your favorite?  And what Oddball digital stamp is your favorite to color with your pencils?

Rawr!!!

Hey Oddballs!  Design Team Member, EK here today to share a little clean and simple card making.

One of the things I love most about Oddball Art is that the digital stamps stand on their own, and do not need all the bells and whistles to make a project that is special.  Just a couple of coloring pens or pencils and the digital stamps are enough to make a stunning project.

Today, I am proving that theory with the super cute (and one of the original) digi IMG16 Big Eye Girl In Monster Hood Teddy.

This image always reminds me a little with Mike and Sully (from Monsters), so I colored her up using a combination of teal blues and lime greens using my copics.  The teal shades were created with BG07, BG18 and BG78.  The lime tones were created with YG21, YG13 and YG06.

Yes, I ended up using a little bit of a line green matting, and a couple of green stickles, but the rest of the card is just the digital image colored.

Alice the Artist

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK here today sharing a little bit of coloring on some kraft paper.  Kraft paper is such a fun way to create a card that is a little different and yet shows color in such a gorgeous way.

For this project, I printed out IMG381 Alice the Artist onto some kraft paper.  Then using my copics, I colored in Alice. Finally, using my white colored pencils, I colored in the canvas and hand wrote in the sentiment.

For more on this project, check out the write up I created that inspired today's project over on my page!

Owl Always Love You

Alexa here, bringing you a fun little card featuring Sweetie Pie the Owl.

Just 1 stencil, paint, some washing tape & heart stickers create the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous digital stamp! I used watercolors to paint her, but you could achieve the look with water soluble markers, art crayons or watercolor pencils.

Remember, when you have a beautiful focal point, like one of Lizzy's stamps, you can keep it simple & use what you have on hand & still create something stunning!
