Creative Fingers Challenge Time

 I am using an OddballArtCo image

Something about this image just makes me smile.  I originally copic coloured him up but then went back in with my pencils to add some more detail.  I will definitely be doing this more often, its nice to  mix colour mediums.


I had put a sentiment on this card that said "you're how old?" but it just didnt work.  So I dug into my Delusion stamps and finally used one.  I have about four sets of these funny sentiments but often the card isn't appropriate.   I can't help myself but to buy them though, they are hilarious if not sometimes rude.

I also volunteered to use an image from Crafts and Me - Ainia for this challenge.  I wanted to play with texture and a stencil I created on my brand new Cameo 3 (stencil with made with mylar.. and I am now thinking.. how did i not know about this before - I can't see myself buying another stencil again)

Now that I'm uploading this image, I have remembered that I have to go and refill all of my skin coloured Copics.    Its a long weekend here, so I may add that to my list of things to do as i clean up the craft room (again)

Scrap n Dipity


I had some fun today creating with Frog Pile up from Scrap n'dipity, I originally printed this quite large coloured it and then started all over again with it smaller.  I much prefer the second attempt.  Sometimes its about proportions.   I remembered some background dies that I had not used in ages, I lined up the circles to create a whole page of background dots.   I then used the stamp dies with an embossing mat to create the green postage stamp background.

OddBall Art


Please not only visit the Facebook challenges  where we are anything goes using OddballArt but also the OddballArt challenge page where you can link up your themed cards.

For the Facebook September mid month challenge reminder  I have used Mr Sweets the fox, some simple embossing folder backgrounds and copic colouring.   The background paper and the sentiments were from an older paper pack in my stash.


Its been nice rummaging through what I own and creating clean and simple but cute cards lately.  My Christmas card stash is slowly building up, now the challenge is to actually send the cards out.

Creative Fingers with Bubagoo


I was lucky enough to use a new Bugaboo image - Funky Flower Blocks to create a simple bookmark for myself in anticipation of reading a "real book" that is.
A very clean and simple project with all the focus on the artwork.  Ive not really worked with Zetangle type images before, I think it would be relaxing just to sit and colour these sort of images for hours, as really there doesnt need to be rules so to speak.


Looking forward to seeing what you create when you link up on the Creative Fingers Challenge blog.

OddBallArt Co Challenge time

So in breaking news OddballArtCo had a design team call recently and I was thrilled to be asked to be on the Facebook team.    Ill be posting my cards or projects in Facebook but will add them here too.   Ive been having loads of fun colouring lately and my cards are just simply making me happy.  

Please not only visit the Facebook challenges  where we are anything goes using OddballArt but also the OddballArt challenge page where you can link up your themed cards.

For the Facebook September 1 challenge I have used Sid the Silly Seahorse Image No.323  I even pulled out my compressor to get this coloured as I wanted him to be in a bright vibrant ocean (background).   Again with keeping it simple, I used MFT dies for the border and a Simon Says die for the YOU sentiment.
