Get Well Soon -- for Oddball Art

It's the middle of the month.  That means one thing (OK, it means lots of things, but at Oddball Art, it means...), it's time for a new challenge!  Oddball Art Challenge Blog is having an Anything Goes challenge this month.  We're calling it, "What you're doing", because we want to see what you're working on now.

I used the fantastic Lizzy Love image #111 to create this:

Isn't she sweet?  I think she'll cheer up anyone!  I colored image #111 with Copic markers, then used Spellbinders dies to build the card.  Tim Holtz distress inks were used around the outside of the image. 

Papers are from My Mind's Eye 6x6 Everyday Flair paper pad.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.

Happy Fall, Y'all! -- for Imagine That! Digistamp

It's the 15th of the month, and it's time for a bit of mid-month inspiration in the Imagine That! Digistamp Creative Playground.  This month's theme is Fall Embossing.  Not only do we want to see your fall-themed projects, but we want to see some embossing (wet or dry) on them also.

I looked out my window a few minutes ago and counted 7 squirrels in my yard.  They are almost always there, under the bird feeders, busy, busy, busy!  As long as they are not IN my bird feeders, I am happy with them, and find them quite entertaining.  They were the inspiration behind today's card.

Meet Humphrey!!

This is Humphrey's Acorn, colored with Copic markers, then fussy cut.  I love how happy he is with that acorn!  He's on a rocking card that I cut out on my Silhouette Cameo with a file found in the Silhouette Design store.  The sentiment is part of the Humphrey's Acorn digital stamp set.

Papers for this card are from the Imagine That! Digistamp Store.  They are Bella's Beauties Fabulous Fall Digital Papers

Humphrey's Acorn

Fabulous Fall digital papers

I printed a green paper, then ran it through a wood grained embossing folder.  

I hope you are able to join our Fall Embossing challenge this month at the Creative Playground.  There's still plenty of time (until Nov. 4), there's great prizes to win, and I'd love to see what you make!

Boo! for Great Impressions Stamps

Happy Friday!  Are you ready for Halloween?  I'm posting today for Great Impressions Stamps and I have a super cute Halloween card to share with you.

I like Halloween to be cute, not spooky, so these 2 rubber stamps from Great Impressions Stamps were perfect for this card. 

I used F617 Caped Buddies and A135 Boo! on this card.

After stamping F617 Caped Buddies onto white card stock, I colored the image with Copic markers, then stamped A135 Boo! onto some white space near the colored image. 

The card was constructed using papers and glitter domes from Close To My Heart and dies from Top Dog dies. 

I'm trying to get enough Halloween cards made for all the residents in my nursing home.  Add another to the pile!

Great Impressions Stamps has a monthly challenge going on that goes all month. It's Anything Goes.  Come join us!

And, Rory's Mittens made into a card:

Wishing You a Sunny Day -- for MHK Designs

It's Sunday, and wherever you live, I'm wishing you a sunny day today!  Today, I'm posting for MHK Designs.  I love sunflowers.  I think they speak autumn like no other flower.  When I found this digital stamp set in the MHKDesigns Etsy store, I just knew I had to color it up!

This card was created using the Stitched Sunflower Digital Stamp set, colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also from the set.
Papers for this card are also from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop.  They're Autumnal Accents Digital Papers.  Beautiful, aren't they?

I created the card base with Spellbinders dies.  A Hot Off the Press die was used for the sentiment.  The ribbon on this card is from 3 Girl JAM.

Rory in Santa's Workshop -- for Lacy Sunshine

Happy Sunday, fellow crafters!  I have a piece I'm posting today for Lacy Sunshine.  It's from one of Heather Valentin's newest coloring books.  If you like to color, this was awesome fun!

Rory in Santa's Workshop is an image from the book Rory's Sweet Urchin Christmas, written and illustrated by Heather Valentin.  You'll find it on the top 100 seller list at Amazon!

I usually write down my Copic colors, and often have a tutorial when I'm posting for Lacy Sunshine, but I used so many Copic markers on this piece, I lost track.  While I didn't use my entire collection, it was very close!

There's a new challenge starting today at Lacy Sunshine, and it's Anything Goes, so come join in the fun!  You can win some fantastic Lacy Sunshine images for yourself!

Simply Delightful Christmas -- for Great Impressions Stamps

It's Friday! Yea!  That means I'm posting today for Great Impressions Stamps.  This week, Great Impressions Stamps is sponsoring the MOD Squad challenge blog, where the theme is "For the Birds".

I love flamingos.  How can a bird be so pink and still survive in the wild?  I think they are just awesome!  But, flamingos in Santa hats?  Well, that is simply delightful!

This card uses 2 rubber stamps from Great Impressions Stamps -- G446 Holiday Flamingos and C426 Simply Delightful.

I colored G446 Holiday Flamingos with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils, then stamped the C426 Simply Delightful sentiment directly onto the colored image. 

The papers and vellum embellishments are from Close To My Heart.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.  I used an edge die on 2 of the papers -- by Hot Off the Press.

Great Impressions Stamps has a monthly challenge going on that just started. It's Anything Goes.  Come join us!
