Does My Butt Look Big? for Oddball Art Stamps New Release

Woohoo!  It's New Release day at Oddball Art Stamps!  As always, there are some fantastic new releases available today.  Many of them have a Halloween theme to them, but not all.  Some of them, like the one I'm showcasing today, can be used a variety of ways.  today, I introduce image #332, The Jones:

I had a bunch of different sentiments bouncing around in my head as I created this, but eventually settled on this one.  Little Jone's seems worried, somehow.

I colored Image #332, The Jones, with Copic markers.  The frames were cut out with a Lawn Fawn frame die.  The designer papers are from MHK Designs.  The sentiment was computer generated and cut out using a Spellbinders die.

Shakin' Love Birds - an Oddball Art New Release

June 15 -- that means it's New Release day at Oddball Art Stamp Co.  You'll find a few wonderful new ones in the Etsy Store.   You can find inspiration for the New Releases on the Oddball Art Company blog.

Today, I had a great time making a shaker card with the new digi, #310 - Love Birds.  What do you think?

I printed the Love Birds (#310) digi on watercolor paper.  Then, I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and a water brush to paint the digi. 

The shaker, made with Lawn Fawn dies, is filled with heart sequins from Craftin' Desert Divas.  The 6x6 papers on this card are by Doodlebug Designs, flowers are by Prima, and the shimmer trim is by Close To My Heart.

One of my staff, who's worked for me for 10 years, is getting married in Uganda in a month.  We're having a wedding shower for her on Saturday.  This is her shower card.  Love birds, indeed!

This image comes as one image (with includes an adorable snail), or  separated.  I used the separate parts, so Pixie Pete can live under this big, safe, mushroom.  

I colored Pixie Pete with Copic markers.  The image is cut out and backed with a couple sizes of Spellbinders dies.  The card base was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo, using a file from the Silhouette Design Store.  The papers, silver foil tape, and floral elements are from Close To My Heart.

Here's what I have for you today.
First, using image #279, Long Day:

I colored image #279 with Copic markers.  The hair was VERY fun!  She seemed to fit well on a tag, so that's the direction I went.  You get to fill in the blank on this one.  "Sometime you feel like a blunt..."  

I Created the tag using dies from Paper Wishes.  Papers and fibers are from Close To My Heart.

The second new release, a card, is more in keeping with the season.  This is #280, Love Sick Heidi:

I colored image #280, Love Sick Heidi, with Copic markers.  I cut the black heart frame out on my Silhouette Cameo with a cut file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  Papers for this card are from Close To My Heart.

Check out what the other designers have done with the new releases on the Oddball Art Designs blog here.  They will also be posted in the Oddball Art Facebook Group.

Nothin' But Net -- a New Release for Oddball Art

It's December 15th.  That means it's new release day at Oddball Art Stamp Company.   Today's release is a stamp with several images merged together, and it has a basketball theme...

I used one of the cute images from the stamp, #278, Basketball Cuties.  There are 2 more basketball player images, a brick wall, and some graffiti.  It can be used as one large image, or the layers can be separated (as I did here), and any portion can be used.

I colored the basketball cutie with Copic markers, cut her out with a Lifestyle Crafts circle die, and sponged the edges with several Tim Holtz distress inks.  The sentiment and designer basketball papers were found at Pixel Scrapper and printed on my printer.  A bit of 3 Girl JAM ribbon finishes off this circle card.
