Happiness is...

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK from ekgorman designs, sneaking in today to share a little CAS card I created using my favorite colored pencils.

Today I am playing around with IMG19 Camper Girl Cassidy from the Big Eyed girl collection.

For today's project I pulled out, like I said my favorite colored pencil set, the Derwent Drawing pencils.  Now I own some five different brand of colored pencils, but despite its limited color range, these are my favorite.  These colors are really soft and in a wide range of natural and sepia tones.  Needless to say, their limited color range is perfect for a clean and simple card.

I additionally added a fun sentiment added in some denim blue ink, to add to the sweet mischief look on Cassidy's face.  The card got adhered onto a Kraft A2 card frame.

Do you play around with different brands of colored pencils?  What is your favorite?  And what Oddball digital stamp is your favorite to color with your pencils?

Hair Gel Card Video Tutorial with Molly the Mermaid & Fishies



Hello Oddballs

It´s me, Tina: Today I have again created a Hair Gel Card. And if you scroll down you will also find a video tutorial this time. I used this images Molly the Mischievous Mermaid #319 and Fishies #410.


Here I chose a bottle for the neckline,
because the mermaid wants to travel by bottle mail into space.
And she also has 3 sweet companions; her goldfishes.


The background is created with Distress Oxide and I
colored the images with Polychromos.


And this is how the card looks inside ...

Be Original

Hey Oddballs!  It's EK from ekgorman designs and I am slipping in today with a card I colored using some creative coloring.

Today I am playing around with the Oddball digital art IMG185 Batzilla and my color wheel to create a truly colorful card.


Not only did I pull out my copic markers today, but I pulled my pocket color wheel.  I wanted to play around with the skin tone on Batzilla, and venture into something a little different and fun.  Using my color wheel I decided on using a Tetrad of color, or four colors even spaced out.  I decided that violet skin might be fun, so jumped off with that color.  Lining up my wheel, I discovered the three other colors, red (which turned out too orange), yellow and green, would compliment everything.


The background got a couple more colors to fill in the blank space and give the card a bit of visual interest.  Also the card got a Tim Holtz sticker sentiment to finish off the card.


I am just loving all the color on my project today.  Do you ever use a color wheel to help come up with the color scheme of your project?  Make sure you share your projects over on the Oddball Art Facebook Gallery.
