💓💓 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

Pop pop Cute Medical Lab...a card by ilCiecoFuffo spot #27

 

Good morning Creepy Girls today I'm here with you with a new Shaker card ❤️❤️❤️ yes yes I know lately I put sequins everywhere, but I love the sparkle they make and the noise when you shake the card. For this creation I used an element of one of the latest OddballArtStamp CCC150 "MED LAB WORKER WEEK" stamp sets, it is the first time that I have not dyed one of her sweet girls, but these test tubes have stolen my heart and imagination.

First I made the writing, I put my Maky (Cricut) and its holy precision to work, in fact it is not a writing made by me, but a real part of the set of stamps, which however I have rearranged to my liking with Photoshop, and digitally colored and later with Cricut Design Space I created the outline. Of course then I had to work hard to put it back together without breaking anything, but I succeeded🤪🤪.

At this point, after opening the image of the test tubes, I composed the card again with Photoshop and printed everything on paper for markers and masking. I colored the stamp on the base and cut out the mask.

After applying the mask on the drawing, test tubes and hearts, I added more bubbles by creating drops on the base with masking liquid, in this way I ensure a perfect white at the end of the card.

Let's move on to the coloring now, below you see the final pieces that make up the final card, base card, transparent acetate, white base, but below still the time of drafting and the colors.

To create this shade I used Distress oxides spread with a Taylored brush.

I love this color combo, don't you?

Spreading out the color, I cut out the inside of the tubes to create the window, I applied the acetate sheet behind, made the skeleton to contain the pillettes with the thick tape put double and then the delusional part ... put the beads and let them stay within the boundaries of the double-sided tape😱😱

On the white base I passed the dirty paint brushes that I had used for the top of the card and I slightly smudged it, with a pen then I wrote "pop pop pop" here and there to simulate the explosion of bubbles. I then closed everything very very carefully.

I attached the writing I had created first and here the card is finished!

I send everyone a lot of kisses and I hope you liked this card, for questions and comments I am waiting for you on the OddballArtStamp Blog, that is below.

Yours

Hello, Bunny Kisses Rainbows

 

Hi friends! Today, I'm here on the Oddball blog featuring CCC April Members Exclusive 2021  Bunny Kisses and CCC 148 Premium Rainbows.

Let's begin! First, using my Fiskars Card Making Bypass Paper Trimmer, I cut a piece of 3.5 x 8 inches DCWV Confetti Pattern Paper  for my base and  a piece of pattern paper 3.75 x 8.25 inches for another layer. 

Then, I printed CCC April Member Exclusive 2021 Bunny Kisses and CCC 148 Premium Rainbow. After that I started coloring them one at a time using my Arteza Ever Blend Markers. I used several colors for this particular card. For the rainbows,  I used - Red - A415 (Wine Red), A412 (Red), A410 (Rose Red), and A487 (Watermelon Pink), Orange - A416 (Coral), A9423 (Pumpkin Orange), and A2497 (Apricot), Yellow - A9433 (Saffron Yellow) A935 (Bumble Bee Yellow), and A 949 (Tuscan Sun. For the clouds, I used A266 (Sky Blue) and A268 (Arctic Blue). I used the same colors for the little critter eggs. For the Skull, I used A155 (Koala Gray, A154 (Dolphin Gray), and A151 (Cloudy Gray).

Finally, I used Factory Yellow Cardstockwarehouse as my panel underneath the base using a strong glue. Then arrange all the images according to my plan and voila! After that,  I used my  Cricut Machine using Design Space and make my own sentiment. I did not add anymore embellishment as everything looks perfect! (well, that's how I see it) :)

I really hope you like this card and you're inspired to recreate it. I hope you can stop by the Oddball Website and give this Digital Stamp a try.
