Peek - a - Boo - Card / Blog Challenge Reminder
Hello Oddballs
It´s me, Tina. Today I want remind you at our current blog challenge with a so-called Peek - a - Boo - Card. I've been wanting to try this card for a long time and thought it would be a good time now.
I used the new freebie from the 8th edition of our

The freebie consists of 2 beautiful sayings and
a skull decorated with flowers.
Due to the effect of the card, you can see this only after opening.
Really exciting!...
That's why I shot a little video for you,
where the card is in motions.
Have fun...
And now we would be very happy to welcome you to our challenge.

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.

Well it's about time I filled this part of my blog in. I am in my mid-sixties, there you go that comment will cover me for a few years yet. I am a wife, mother of 2 and grandmother of 7. I live in Narellan, an outer suburb now of Sydney, but it was out in the sticks you could say 46 years ago. I have always enjoyed most crafts and did Art in high school. When my children were growing up I didn't have too much time for it, although I did knit, as my husband was always away truckin'. Later I really got into it, first cardmaking and scrapbooking, collecting rubber stamps until I discovered that I could manage to work out Facebook. Then I could not get enough of digital stamps. As life gets a bit harder to cope with, I find my craft helps with my stress, yes I am a real stress-head! Hence I try not to over-commit to too many DTs but I do love the fact that someone does like what I do enough to ask me to join them on their team.

Hug a Panda....
Hi Oddball Fans!
I'm guest DT this month for the "Dots and Doodles" theme! Today I am sharing my dotty chubby panda art tags using Images from #226 Chubs the Panda - too cute!!
I love to alter tags and create with mixed media bits and pieces and of course I have an issue with throwing anything away no matter how small - you never know when you might need that miniscule piece of paper or embellishment LOL!
I started with some plain packaging tags - I always buy these in bulk in several sizes from the local Officeworks store - and a roll of paper towel that I use to "mop up" excess ink sprays from my creations - see I can't even waste sprays!!!
Use a glue stick or matt medium to cover the entire tag and adhere the paper towel and once dry trim the overhang and punch the hole back at the top!
Now to add the dots because we have the dots & doodles theme!! I used a very dotty stencil and some texture paste to add these to the tags.
Next I printed the "pandas" onto Kraft coloured paper - sometimes I don't want to colour and I love the effect of printing directly to kraft paper and fussy cutting and using colour on the background as a contrast to the plain image!
I also printed the wording "hug a panda" on kraft paper and tore out to us on the tags. I'm starting to layout how I want everything to sit on the tags in the pic below. I've grabbed some muslin cloth scraps, meshy braid, paper leaves and flowers and some ribbon and string for tying at the tops.
Once I was happy then I glued everything on in order! they have a lovely 3D effect - I like layers and texture and colour!!
Fun and easy to create! Hope you feel inspired to create with Oddball Stamps and some Dots & Doodles and play along this month!
Thanks for having me!
