Puffy Pastel Polka-Dots

Facebook will no longer let me link to this blog, so if you've found your way to my blog anyway, welcome!

This month for Oddball Art Co's challenge, "Puffy Pastel Polka-Dots", I selected image Whimsical Mushroom Home #309, and added one of Lizzy's cute little gnomes to the swing!

After coloring the image with my Copics, I added some puffy Nuvo drops in pastel colors. This was fussy cut and added to a journal page with fun polka dotted paper.

Thanks for your visit. Hope you'll join in on the fun!

Wonder Dream Disk Journal

Continuing with the disk art journal made with tags I finally got to color this one. I think this might just be a favorite one in this journal! Still using images from Sandra Caldwell, BabyCakesDND. I used #2204 Wonder Dream image and colored with Copics. Then I cut it with the tag die. I didn't want to take anything away from the image by adding a sentiment, so I just placed it opposite an introductory page.

Thanks for the visit!

Coffee and Pinocchio - Disk and Tag Journal

Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE my morning coffee, but it does take some time to kick in, LOL! This fun image, #294 Coffee and Donuts, by Sandra Caldwell of BabyCakesDND reminds me of the good old days when I could actually eat donuts for breakfast! Sigh.  

The sentiment is from C.C. Designs. The background of the tag was done with a stencil and Distress Oxides. The image was colored with Copic markers. A strip of gold paper and some Nuvo drops finished up this tag. 

For this one, #1760 "Pinocchio Cutie", the tag was colored with Distress Oxides then sprayed with a bit of sparkle. I added some BoBunny Glitter Paste through a stencil. Another chipboard quote and a few Nuvo drops finished off this page.

















Thanks for visiting! I really appreciate any comments you find the time to leave for me.

Upset Amy

I could hardly wait to color this one up, #2700 Upset Amy, by Sandra Caldwell of BabyCakesDND! Don't you just feel like this sometimes?

 The tag was colored with Distress Oxides then sprayed with a bit of sparkle. I added some BoBunny Glitter Paste through a stencil. Another chipboard quote and a few Nuvo drops finished off this page.

Poe Appreciation Day January 20, 2019

A friend suggested I join in on the Poe Appreciation Day blog hop over at Leigh SB Designs. I thought I'd take a look and was just smitten with this image, The Winter Raven.

Copics Used

So, here she is colored with Copics in my journal. The background was done with Distress Oxides. I added a bit of Stabilo black pencil along the left.






 Thanks for visiting. I do enjoy reading your comments.

Happy Horrors

The theme for October over at the Oddball Art Challenge is Happy Horrors. Perfect for this time of year! All of the images came from Oddball Art.

I love using the PNG images as it is easy to combine several images to create a pleasing layout. I lightened the background image and set the others on top in the right sizes. Then I created a sentiment and added it to the word bubble. I colored with Copics and edged with Distress Inks. Then, I distressed the edges and added just a bit of clear gel pen to the eyes and blood.

Copic Colors

Thanks for looking! I really enjoy any comments you have the time to leave.

Open if you Dare!

I am so happy to have completed another journal page. Oddball Art is really responsible for that. I normally created "pretty" things for cards, but these images really lend themselves to larger spreads.

Both of these images, Bride of Chucky & Bride of Franky, are free if you sign up for the creepy cute chronicles. Just go HERE to join and subscribe. The wall and sentiments are from other sets. Everything was colored with Copic markers.

I colored everything on Copic friendly paper and then glued to 61/2 x 81/2 journal. The coffin was created separately to make for an interactive page.
