New Release & Mixed Media

Lizzy has some amazing new releases out today!!

I'm showcasing one of the new release images called Sugar (No. 242B)

Here is one of my first mixed media pages.  The first one I did was a bit dark and was not fully happy with it.  However on seeing this new release image I knew what I wanted to do with it! This one is much brighter and I'm happier with the turn out.

Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day here in England! 

I have made a few cards for different father's which I'm sharing with you today.

The first is a 'Daddy To Be' card, although my watermark is covering that part.  

The image I'm not sure who it is by... I've had it printed for a long time and thought it would be perfect for this card.  I need to have a good look through all of my digis and hopefully I can find out who it is by.  

If anyone knows, let me know. 

Challenges: 

Pattie's Creations Challenge - Father's Day or Graduation

Sister Act Card Challenges - Anything Goes

Creative Moments - Anything Goes/Man In Your Life/Father's Day

~*~*~*~*~*~

This next card is for my Dad.  

I've used the man from the 'generic couple' image by Drawn With Character.  Coloured with copics.  

I've used the photo frame from Hobbycraft to border the image.  I've kept this one really simple by using just one paper.  Adding a sentiment from Clearly Besotted. 

Challenges:

4 Crafty Chicks - Father's Day  

Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

~*~*~*~*~*~

My last card for the day is for my father in law.  

A keen gardener, hence the paper which is from Forever Friends.  

Again I have used the 'Generic Couple' man from Drawn With Character, coloured with Copics.  

Bordered in the same way, with the same sentiment.  

I've added pearls from Wild Orchids to balance the card. 

Challenges: 

Simply Papercrafts - Anything Goes
Crafting For All Seasons - It's A Boy Things

Hope you like these...

Summer Fun

It's time for a new challenge at Oddball Art!

This time the theme is
SUMMER FUN

Here is my DT card using I Scream Love (No. 144)

A bit of a strange one for me as I don't usually go off the card blank in my creations.  

However I like how it's turned out.

Colour Combo Cards

Here is one of the projects I've been working on for Oddball Art Co.

I have been trying to work on a way of monitoring my colour combos.  I have used a template from The Greeting Farm a while ago.  I have added different Oddball images which help to showcase either the hair or skin.

For the skin colour combos I have used image No. 113 Carmen:

For the hair colour combos I have used image No. 110 Hadley N Her Pet Cloud:

I'm still in the process of colouring up the cards with all of my colour combos.  I also need to look at clothing colour combos too, but I will make another card for this. 

A quick reminder that the Anything Goes challenge is still running on the Facebook Page if you want to join in.  

There is also the 'Add a Butterfly/Dragonfly' theme running on the Challenge Blog.
For another chance to win more Oddball Images!
