Card "Christmas Wishes" by Roberta Cercato


Happy Monday friends!
It's the last week ... and then it's Christmas!

Today I present to you my project for Oddball Stamps, a cute zebra fallen into the orange paint pot !!
To make it I used the digital Kawaii Christmas Zebra Zeddy As Santa Image No. 153 which I colored with Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers.

How about? Isn't this Christmas zebra cute?
Soon,
Roberta

Easy last minute Christmas card

 Hi everyone!

Christmas is already around the corner and you might realize that you don't have enough Christmas cards 😮

Here's a simple and easy last minute Christmas card idea. The easiest way includes only using a text editor, printing and cutting.

I wanted to make something not so traditional Christmas so I chose to use paper from Bats and bones Halloween paper set and just simple HoHoHo text from CCC#134 Jones in the box digi stamp set.

So, I added the digi paper to the text editor and the uncoloured version of HoHoHo text (there's also coloured version if you want to do something really easy). You should use the png file so there is no white background around the image. 

 


When I was happy with the sizes and layout I printed it. I coloured the image with alcohol markers (Copic R59, ProMarker Berry Red, Copics R29, R27 & R22) and white gel pen.

Then I just cut the card and taped it on the black card board.
 
And here's the result. Simple, but I like it 😊

Tag "Thank you" by Roberta Cercato

 


Good Sunday friends!
Today I present to you my design for Oddball Stamps, a "botched" tag!

To make it I used the digital Big eye girl lexi image no. 5 which I colored with Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers.

To create the background, I used the gel press, some stencils, abstract stamps and a little white chalk instead.

See you soon,
Roberta

Let me sleep

Happy Saturday everyone!

I used this fun CCC#87 Haunted Cuckoo Clock image and wanted to create a 'Do not disturb' kind of sign on my craft room door.. Well, as you can see the result isn't quite what it was meant to be 😛

I wanted to create a little more texture on this card/sign/whatever this is going to be. I coloured the walls and cutie birdie with alcohol markers. The roofs I coated with texture paste and I also added Glossy Accents on the clock part. 

I'm not a morning person so this is still quite me 😊

Sending you... Best witches!

Hello

For today I have an “Iris” card for you, interactive and very simple to make as inspiration for the DT of Oddball Stamps.


There are dies to make it, but also cutting files for the plotter that make your work much easier. But if you don't have the dies or a plotter, you can still use the cutting files, printing and cutting by hand.


To star in the card, I used the digital stamp "Whimsical Witch on Broomstick, Wendy Friends" from Oddball Stamps.


Once colored with my Finecolour alcohol rotus and cut out, I made the mechanism for the interactive part. You can find cut files for this card in the Silhouette store, but you can also find some for free on the web. In my case I used ShanShan Mato's file that you can find on his YouTube channel.


Finally I did the background panel by inking in shades of blue, purple and a touch of black, I drew stars with a white gel pen and added the first part of the feeling.

On a card base I glued the second part of the sentiment (the one that is hidden by the mechanism) and finally I assembled and glued all the elements in place.


It may seem complicated, but it hardly takes time to do it and it is very attractive

I hope you like and inspire.

Have a Wicked Halloween!

Hello!

For today I bring you a very simple but beautiful single layer card with Oddball Stamps


The main image is img# 356 Pumpkin Patch A Christmas Dream, as it is given in the download zip.

I just resized the image to my card size and printed.


Once this was done I colored the scene with my Finecolours, masking some areas if needed.

To finish, I glued a sentiment printed in white with a black background. (I am aware that it says Halloween and it is over... but you can change it for Christmas or any other holiday!)


As you can see, very simple and fast to do.


I hope you like it and it inspires, and above all that it encourages you to make your own creations.

Today's make is a journal page:


I have just been taking part in a 10 day virtual retreat with Michelle Grant Designs
In this I have been making a junk journal - I am now adding different pages...



Recipe:

Step One. I decided to choose a page that was a piece of Patterned Paper that looks like a table cloth or picnic rug.



Step Two. I printed the images and cut them out.  I then painted them with watercolours I adhered them to my journal page.


Step Three.  I added vintage photo Distress Ink to the edges of the pages and a bit of doodling with a black pen.



Happy Crafting!

Card "You're my pumpkin" by Roberta Cercato

 


Good morning friends!
Here's another Oddball Stamps project, a cute unicorn card!
To make it I used the digital Sassy Unicorn Painting Pumpkins that I colored with Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers.
To create the background, I instead punched out some hexagonal shapes of different sizes and overlapped them.

Did you like my project?
See you soon,
