New Release Easel Calendar with Suzi

Today I'd like to share with you a project I've created with one of the gorgeous new releases, I've used the beautiful 'Bridal Party image#421' on an Easel Calendar

Isn't she beautiful.  I fell in love as soon as I saw her, and had to team her up with some pretty papers.

I've coloured her with Alcohol Markers, and added some sparkle to her hair and dress with some glitter pens.

I also created a coordinating envelope to go with the calendar;

It´s Technique Time: Soap Bubble

Hello Oddballs

Tina: It´s technique time...

Today I would like to show you, as you can easily create a background.

The technique is called

"Soap Bubble Technique"

And here comes the photo tutorial

1.

You need

*Disposable gloves

*Drinking straws

*Something to stir

*Not too high containers

*Acrylic paints of your choice

*Dish Soap

2.

Now you put some dish soap in your bowl...

3.

and add a little color to it ...

mix it

4.

Now use the drinking straw carefully,

until there are so many bubbles that protrude beyond the edge.

If it does not make enough bubbles ... 

the mixture simply with the ingredients still expand.

5.

Now take a white piece of Cardstock and

place it gently over the bubbles.

Then lift the paper off immediately.

6.

The result should look something like this ...

The process a few times in different places

repeat on the paper!

7.

Now you can repeat everything with one or two other colors,

until you like the background.

And now everything has to dry well ... about 2-3 hrs.

Do not dab with a cloth over it . it ruins the soap bubbles!

In the meantime you can edit the motif or

prepare the design of your card.

Here is my finish card

I used for this Easter card the image

"Evie n Bunny"

#30

I colored with Touch Twin Markers

Can you see

how beautiful the soap bubbles look in the background?

I would be very happy,

if you use this technique for your next work and

took part in our Challenge in the Oddball Facebook Group.

This way...

See you soon...

A Little Inspiration from Suzi

Hello My fellow Oddballer's, today I'd like to share with you a very quick tutorial and card featuring one of the latest new release images.

I couldn't resist using the adorable Hudson image#363, he is such a cutie.  I wanted to try something a little different when colouring his outfit, so I decide to give him a plaid shirt.

I chose 4 different colours of Alcohol Pens , for this project I used Letraset Promarkers and Tria Markers.  I created the pattern using a layer of lines for each colour, here are a couple of pictures of my practice sheet, to give you the idea;

As you can see the pattern builds up really quickly.  Once I was happy with my pattern, I used the same technique to colour Hudson's shirt;

Once I'd got the pattern onto Hudson's shirt, I added some shading using Neutral Grey markers.  I added some more colour to the pattern once I'd coloured the rest of the image, just to make his shirt stand out a little more.  I then added some highlights with white gel pen.

For the rest of my project, I took patterned papers from a coordinate pack and layered them onto a white card blank.  I trimmed my image and stamped the sentiment, before adding some hand doodles borders to all my papers.

I added my image to a patterned paper before adding it to my card with some dimensional foam pads to add a little depth to the card.

That's all from me for today
Bye for now
Suzi
