CCC #46 With Sabrina

Ciao Sabrina is here today with his new CCC # 46  ODDBALL card!

A sweet mummy who enjoys a good coffee!

I printed # 46 on smooth white paper and colored with Copic ... I started coloring with W-5 and E00 and I faded with E40 and W-0

I then created dots using C5 and a white gel pen

Now I can color the nice cup using the Copic:

R27

E15

BG13

and I created the light reflected with the white gel pen

Our mummy is sitting, so I created the LOL support ... to create the terrain I used

E21

E33

YR21

E15 and white gel pen

For the eyes I used BG13 e B91, blended with the blender

With the technical pen I created the jagged edge

I cut a heavy paper for watercolors on which I sprayed coffee-colored spray colors

after which I restored the card with the CCC # 46  ODDBALL  stamp, the patterned cards that I glued crosswise and the cardboard. With the Brother I created the tags with the words "love" Coffee "and" heart "and I used the Nuvo Crystal Drops that create the brilliant effect

I can't wait to see your work with the magnificent ODDBALL stamps !!!

xoxo Sabrina Chicca Lamarina

March Challenge Art Journal Layout

Hey Oddballs, it's EK from ekgorman designs and I am popping into to remind you to play along with this month's Challenge.

Everyone Month, Oddball Art puts out a challenge, that has a loose theme of "Life Size Leprechauns & Unlucky Clovers".  But in reality, this month long challenge is an Anything Goes, with any stamp and any theme.

This month, Oddball is stepping up things, and letting you get two chances to win...bring a friend to the challenge and if one of you is randomly picked, both of you win.

I created an Art Journal layout for this month's challenge reminder (see it is truly an anything goes challenge) with a non-saint Patrick's Day themed digital stamp from Oddball.  I pulled out the digi IMG129 Hadley and the Hairdresser and colored her up with my copics, and then added her to a more traditional art journal page.

If you want to watch not only how I colored up the image, but see how I created the background in the art journal, pop over and watch this video now.

Thanks for popping in today, and make sure you participate.  If you need to, say I referred you to the monthly challenge.

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.

An Oddball Valentine

This week's digi is a bit of hot chocolate, so I thought I would make an Oddball Valentine with.  I created a video sharing not only how I colored the image, but how I assembled the card.

Oh Christmas Tree

Happy Oddball Christmas!!!

So one of the things I love most about designing with Oddball Art is I get to be just a little bit cooky and weird.  Based on the words I type, it is hard to tell that I am actually kind of weird.  I always have been!  So to get to design and create with art that is just as off beat as I actually am, feels like a privilege not a job.

Today, on actual Christmas Day, I feel honored to share my oddball christmas tree using digital stamp IMG487 Creepmas Tree.  I colored the image up with my copics and then added glossy accents to the tree.

I then added layers and layers of paper to make the slightly creepy tree seem normal.  Because I live in a world where my slightly weird personally is in fact normal.

So, on this, Christmas Day...

Merry Christmas Weirdo!

Did I roll My Eyes

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK from ekgorman designs, and I am sneaking in to let you know that Halloween may be over, but the creep isn't over at Oddball Arts.  We hold onto the creepy cute all year long.

Today I pulled out a bit of my snarky side, using this older digital stamp, IMG 122 Zombie Girl with Balloon.

There are actually a couple of digital balloon options for this digi, and I transferred out the original for the creepy eye ballon.  Then using my copic markers, I colored in the sweet zombie gal, trying to keep her colors bold despite her undead status.

I found the Ranger sentiment sticker after coloring the card, and needless to say knew it was the perfect one for this project.

Sassy Witch & Sissy Cat

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK from ekgorman designs and I am popping into ask you one question...

Are you ready for Halloween?  

Needless to say the whole team over at Oddball Art is gearing up for the tricks and treats.  No seriously...you are going to want to stay tuned all week to catch sightings of the ghouls and ghosts, witches and warlocks, pumpkins and peculiars.  After all, Halloween is the best time of year over at Oddball!

Today I am wetting your whistles with this fun witch digi, IMG81 Witch Sassy & Sissy Cat.  I played around with this image last summer on black cardstock and some colored pencils, but have always wanted to color it with my copics.  Today, I felt was the day.

If you missed my previous project, you can sneak back and see it here which includes a video on how I colored the project.

But today we are playing with copics, and I just loved coloring Sassy up.  Additionally, I added a simply Halloween greeting, some halloween themed papers and of course a few appropriately colored Sparkle Blend sequins.

The full force of the Halloween explosion should begin Friday evening, but make sure you tune in all week because the team is surely to be giving teasers all week!

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.
