Keep Calm and Eat

Hey Friends, I am sneaking in today to share a little copic coloring video I created using the Friday Freebie CCC#36 for Oddball Art's Creepy Cute Chronicles.  Not signed up yet for the Chronicles, pop on over to Oddball now and sign up!

In addtional the cute little hedgehog included in this week's Chronicles, I am coloring up IMG179 Vegan Chili and IMG180 Silly Chili Pepper to create this fun card.

I went ahead and created a little video sharing how I colored up these and assembled this card.  To watch it in HD, click here.

Thanks for popping in today.  Make sure you pop over and check out this week's newsletter because there is all kinds of fun things happening over in Oddball Land!!!

Until then, Happy Crafting.

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. 

Need some new digital stamps to play with, feel free to use the code DTEK10 to get 10% off your next Oddball purchase!!!

There Were Too Many Other Options

Hey Oddballs!!!  It's EK from ekgorman designs sneaking in today to ask:  Have you played along with the current August Lost Souls of Innocent Dolls?  

Well, why not?  Did you know that there is a chance to win free digital stamps if you use an Oddball Digital stamps and play along with the theme?  And lets be honest...lost souls of innocent dolls...that theme works with 90% of all the Oddball Art!

Today I am playing along with the IMG48 Big Eyed Zombie Girl and trying to create a since of innocence with my CAS card.

For this project I pulled out my copic markers and colored up my little zombie girl.  To create a little bit of a sour skin tone I pulled out my E40, E41 and E42 to give her a little bit of that sickly tone.

Also I die cut out a panel in the card and added something that didn't make any since, an off white pineapple paper.  Yes you are right, the panel is illogical, but I love the idea that this little lady is looking out to something beautiful, yet surreal, without creating a real window.

I finally added a Tim Holtz snarky sentiment sticker, because frankly, this is the speech my little angels give me each and every day when they get into a bit of trouble.  

I am really looking forward to seeing what you do for the challenge.  If you need a new digital stamp feel free to use the code DTEK10 to get 10% off your Oddball purchase!!!

July Challenge Reminder

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK, from ekgorman designs here and I'm wondering something.

Have you played along yet with the current July Challenge happening here at Oddball Art?  If not what are you waiting for?  There are potentially free digital stamps available just for participating.

The theme for the challenge is always an Anything Goes Challenge, but with the optional theme this month of Dots and Doodles.  Want a chance to win even more digital stamps, then play along with the theme and use an Oddball Art Digital stamp.

I am playing with a new digital stamp added to the shop at the top of the month just for this theme.  The digi IMG#448 Pineapple Doodles Spooky Sweet appears to be a sweet pineapple stamp at first glance, but if you look just a little closer, you will see the amazing oddball twist thrown in.

I printed the digital stamp just as it comes when you down load it, to show how cute this image would be as a one layered card.  I colored all the pineapples up with my copics, trying to add some shadows into add a little dimension despite the card being one layered.

To add some more visual interest to the card, I added a burst of color around the edges using Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide and then a little splash of Worn Lipstick.

Thanks so much for peaking in at my challenge card.  Don't forget to add your card up by the end of the month for your chance to be picked as one of the random winners.  

Need a new digital stamp to play with, then please feel free to use the code DTEK10 to get 10% off your next purchase!

All I Hoped To Find

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK here sneaking in today to remind you that the current monthly challenge is underway!

This month the theme is "Mermaids from Outer Space", but as always that theme is optional.  The Design Team always loves seeing how you play with Oddball digital stamps, so make sure you load your design for a chance to randomly win a prize for participating.

Today I am playing with one of the new digital stamps from Oddball, IMG443 Mermaid of the Stars.

I colored the image up with my copic markers, making the decission to make my mermaid sea tinted green with seaweed inspired hair.  

I added color to the background with Black Soot Distress Oxide.  Then I splattered Spectrum Noir sparkle pen all over the card to create stars.  Finally, I added a sentiment from a Tim Holtz sentiment stick pack.

I can't wait to see what you add to the challenge.  If you need a new digi to play along this month, feel free to use the code DTEK10 to get 10% off your purchase.

Every Road Should Have a Path

Hey Oddballs!  Ek here today to share a little bit of coloring with you.  

No video today, just a little bit of coloring for fun along with the digital stamp

IMG300 Creepy Cute Snow White Tribute Charlotte.

The digital stamp was colored with my copics and then cut out and added to some printed paper that I distressed with some metallic wax.  Finally, I added a bit of a sentiment from a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker pack.

For more on the making of this card check out my page ekgorman designs.
