I created the backgrounds with Distress Oxide Pads on glossy photo paper and 

colored the images with Polychromos and glued on later.

And now we would be very happy

if you would also take part in our ATC Swap.

It is an international Swap and makes so much fun.

Incidentally, the exchange partners remain secret; 

until the ATC has reached the receiver!

See you soon...

How to: Facial Shading

Hey hey Oddballs! Alexa here bringing you this cute Rainbow Girl! I created this super fun mixed media piece :

And as I was coloring this gorgeous girl, I thought of how often beginners ask about how to create some depth in their coloring of digital stamps so the faces come more to life instead of falling flat. So, I created a tutorial over on my blog here .

So, go grab the stamp & follow along! Don't forget to use "DTALEXA10" for 10% off!

Hope you hop on over & enjoy the tips!

When Nothing Is Sure Mixed Media Card

Hey Oddballs!  EK here to share a Tips and Tutorial Video!

I pulled out IMG328 Madhatter for today's project and decided to show you how I would not only color up this card with my Prismacolor colored pencils, but how I go about making a mixed media card as well.

To check out how I made the card today, by clicking the link below.

*********************************

When Nothing Is Sure Video

I am enjoying the wonky bubbles on the side of the images...seems very Alice to me.

I'm loving the sentiment I picked for this card, since when it comes to the Hatter, nothing is sure and everything is possible.

I don't normally play with layers like this, but I had so much fun adding the embellishments, that I am going to have to start using layers more.

Thanks for checking in today, and if you create any mixed media cards featuring Oddball Art, make sure you share it over on the Facebook Page.  

Need an Oddball Art image, then use DTEK10 in the Oddball Art Store for %10 off your total purchase!
