Oddball Art - Little Child challenge reminder

So, It's the end of July already ...
but still time to join Oddball's "Little Child" challenge.

My take on the theme is quite a adult like,
AJ spread using creepy cute image Moesha
colored with Copics and PrismaColors.


I made a background using Dylusions paint, flower napking and 
a butterfly stamp. Sentiment is made in PicMonkey and if you
like it, just click and save , :=)


I'd like to enter to some challenges with my AJ spread:

One Cute Chick - ATC

Color challenges are truly a challenges to me.
I tend to take one when I see one, but don't always know
how "literally" to take them - do I have to use all the colors equally,
can I use different shades, can I use some other colors too ...

I found this piece of scrap paper that looked like a rainbow,
and then just took the pieces that matches the WW this 
week challenge. From the rest of the colors I made this ATC,
so nothing wasted, lol


Image is from Vera Lane and it was a Friday freebie in her
FB page a while ago. Sentiment is from TLC, I just cut
the "Easter" out of it, :=D

I'd like to enter my ATC to some challenges:
MOO-MANIA - Summer
Wicked Wednesday - Color Palette (Green - Orange - Blue)
Penny's - AG
Crafting by Design - Down on the Farm

Dawn - ATC

I'm not sure if I'm mixing Vampires and Zombies here,
but some how I think the zombies are also a knight creatures
- hence they don't like sun... I could be so wrong about this of course...


The image is from Oddball Art, Zombie Chibi Girl
colored with Copics. Background is made from paper pieces.
I glued them down and trimmed the edges. I also put
glue on top of the pieces and was too heavy handed and had
lots of glue ... well, I made some texture out of it by taping 
the glue with a piece of fabric I had on my table and after
glue was dry, added some silver Inka Gold.

I'd like to enter to some challenges with my Zombie ATC

Wicked Wednesday have a great theme this week:
"Hair Do", love it, I have so many images to go with this

some reason, I can't find it from the shop...

Chill Out with TEW

I got and bought some new images at TEW and
when I printed them, I also printed some older ones to play with.

I have never tryed to color with "no lines" so I though, it was
about the time to test it ... well for a starters, I should have
printed my image a bit larger for a first try ... but when I
start something, is so hard to give it up, LOL


I first had something else in my mind for this mermaid,
but then I noticed this shell paper on my desk (one of my faux leather
testings) and my plan changed... And she became a chilling mermaid in a card.

STAMPlorations - Stencil Sunday

It's my first Stencil Sunday at STAMPlorations
and I made a very warm sunny tag.


First I stamped the lovely sunflower (Happy Sunflower)
on a glossy card stock, then I ironed on some wax.
After wax was cooled, I rubbed it with a towel and
used beautiful Flutterby stencil and black Gesso to create the
butterfly, the word "SUN" is a colored chip board.

Why not join the Mixed Media fun and join the STAMPlorations 
MM challenge? The theme is always anything mixed media goes 
except a card and you must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project.

Image is colored with copics and Prismacolors and I did the background same way as I did here, only difference was, that this time I used texture paste instead of embossing paste.

so why not link up to challenge? Any company's 
rubber stamping goes - there just have to be stamping

Very often I make a set, when I make ATC's and so did I this time also,
stamps used are from Lost Coast Designs: Bugz Set and Medium Shrubbery

I first cut the base of my cards from a thick mixed media card stock
then I watered some orange Dylusions paint, and pushed my cards to it.
When the paint was still wet, I sprayed some LSG green on top, and got
lovely shimmer to my cards. Then I waited cards to dry and embossed
the gorgeous flower silhouettes to them. 
And for a final touch, the great sentiments and brilliant bugs. 
Fly stamped on brown ink, crasshopper on green ink and dragonfly on blue ink 
- not that it shows much in my pictures...
I used 3D stickers to attach the bugs.

X-mas bells

A while ago I was lucky to win a blog hop at
Rubber Dance blog, and I got a fab selection of goodies from 
The Eye Connect Crafts as a prize, YAY !

Today I decided that it's time to play with those goodies
- not just look and admire, lol.
I took the bells and painted them white.


Then I took some blue and stamped with it using Marble stamp 
from Rubber Dance, then wit brown ink and sentiment stamp from RD
I stamped some wordings. Used the same blue to color the paper flowers and 
rubbed some Inka Gold to get a little silver glow to my bells.
Final touch by using Anita's Snow stuff and few pearls and ribbons.
