Star Stampz: Pretty Princesses

Good morning!  I'm itching to have some crafty time this weekend, I really want to play with some of my Halloween papers & embellishments!  I've already started seeing CHRISTMAS stuff in the stores, which irritates the crap out of me.  Can't they at least wait until after Halloween?  I mean, I start my Christmas shopping early too but that doesn't mean I need or want to see candy canes and stockings and all that yet.  Oh well - they can put it out, but they can't make me enjoy it.  LOL

Anyway!  Today we have a new challenge for you at:

Star Stampz: Pretty Princesses


I would like to enter this into the following challenges:


I used Lady Sierra, printed on DP and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Papers are from My Mind's Eye - I added some flowers, gemstone stickers, and a little princess charm.  Peace.

Oddball Art Challenge & New Release

Hello there - I've got LOTS of Oddball-goodness to share with you today!  If you like any of the images you see, don't forget to use code DTJENNB10 for 10% off your digi stamp order at the Oddball Etsy shop!  First off - we have a new challenge for you at:



I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:


I used Spooky Sue, #247, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Papers are from Authentique.  Text stickers are from my stash, along with the little metal key charm and Glo-Skull.
.............................................................
And we also have a new release for you at Oddball today, I played with 2 of the new images - I had asked Lizzy for a tattooed girl and a witch.  Wow, does she deliver!  LOL  


I'd like to enter the above card into the following challenges:


This is #255, Lady Jessie.  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits after printing her out on this awesome shimmery white cardstock.  I printed the text on red DP and used a wooden accent ampersand piece colored black to make it pop. I kept this one simple as the image is so gorgeous, I wanted it to really stand out.  She looks like me, but I'm a little chubbier and I don't have red streaks in my hair... hee hee

And my 2nd new release project, which I'd like to enter into the following challenges:



This is #253, Wendy and Friends.  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and added some black Stickles.  Sentiment is a sticker from SRM Stickers - flowers and witch-hat brad are from my stash.  

Oh - and don't forget that the Oddballs also have a Facebook challenge group that you can find here.  You're welcome.  :)  Peace.

My "something new" was decorating the inside of my card, something I've seen others do but never bothered with.  I like how it came out.  I used two MelonHeadz digi images, the owl and the quote, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Papers are from My Mind's Eye, text stickers are from Tim Holtz.  I cut out a sun die with my Silhouette Cameo.  Peace.

Corrosive Challenge: Mixed Media with Sami Stamps

Good morning!  Today we have a new challenge for you at:



Our sponsor is Sami Stamps - I'd like to enter my creation into the following challenges:


I have these cool chipboard coasters that are postcard-sized, so I decided to alter one for this challenge.  I painted it white and then used alcohol inks with a blending solution to create the background.  I printed the image on copy paper and colored it with a combination of markers & pencils/mineral spirits.  I used Mod Podge to apply it to the coaster, then used Stickles on it and added the sentiment from SRM Stickers.  Finished it off with some gemstones.  Peace.
