Oddball Art Co DT ~ Messy and Sketchy ATCs

Hi everyone!

Wow so it has been a little while since I last posted!
I've been very busy with my little one, going back to work and doing studying.
Finally I have a little time to get creative and do crafty things.

I'm back with the Oddball Art Co. DT and hosting the Artist Trading Card (ATC) Swop over on facebook. 
The theme for this months challenge and ATC swops is
Messy and Sketchy

You can interpret this anyway you would like. 
I have gone with some messy backgrounds on my cards and added some sketchy drawings.  

Here is my first ATC using one of the yetis from

Image No. 423 Yeti Love

I have used patterned tissue paper as a base, covered with Tim Holtz distress inks.  I have embossed the edges with pink powder, but it has come out glossy rather than embossed.  This isn't very clear on the photo either.  I've added string and black card with ripped edges to mount the image.  Glitter added to the edges of the black card.  Yeti is coloured with copic markers, with glossy accents on her bow.
This is the first ATC I've made as this is not something I've needed to do before.  But I have enjoyed making them.  Mounted on black card.

Here is my second ATC using 

Image No. 413 Baby D

ABC patterned paper as a base, texture paste applied using Dylusions stencil.  Tim Holtz Distress Inks to colour.  I've then doodled to fit with the sketchy theme.  Dino is coloured in with Copic Markers using a stippling effect, and added onto the top.  Mounted on black card.  

Here is my third ATC using the skull from 

Image No. 247 Spooky Sue

Feather patterned paper as a base.  I've used texture paste through Dylusions stencil.  I added some feather washi tape to one side, but this isn't very prominent.  I've stamped over using black ink with a skull rubber stamp I've had for many many years! Added blue thread then topped with black card that I distressed the edges of and mounted the skull image on top.  Doodled around the edges.  Mounted on black card.

Lily of The Valley Challenge ~ Oddball Art Co. DT

Hi everyone!

The new challenge over at Oddball Art Co. is Lily Of The Valley

You can interpret this anyway you would like.  I have gone with a flower theme...

I'm starting my new venture of bullet journalling.  I like the versatility of drawing your own spreads rather than being stuck with a set diary format.  I only work 2 1/2 days now so need a diary with enough space to write appointments etc in it, with a week to view and that has times listed on all the days.  So after trying several diaries and not liking them, I saw bullet journalling.  So I have done a diary specific to my needs within a bullet journal.  

I'm currently losing weight and would like to document this creatively and so again thought the bullet journal format would work for me.  So here is one of the spreads I've done in the bullet journal.  It will be a weight loss/fitness tracker. 

I have used a few different Oddball images for this one:

Image No. 194 Newsprint Flower

Creative Planner Insert Flowers

The heart clouds are also an Oddball image but I can't find this one in the shop.

Oddball Art Co DT ~ Inspiration Time

Hi everyone!

Time for DT inspiration for Oddball Art Co.

I have used Image No. 301 Chrissy Goes To A Costume Party

Had a little disaster as my W9 copic tends to suddenly drop ink.  I've tried leaving the lid off and it hasn't worked.  I keep blobbing it on scrap paper to get the ink absorbed.  However it still does the drop thing.  It did this on the hair but think it was covered well.

Hi everyone!

I am here with some fabulous new release images from Oddball Art Co!
This time the new release images are Magic Under The Sea!

Lizzy has sneakily released the images early so here are my first two creations. 

Firstly, I have used Image No. 319 Molly the Mischievous Mermaid

I have created a scene around the mermaid using Copic Markers.  

Next up is Image No. 320 Nixie The Mermaid Spirit of the Sea

The sentiment also comes with this lovely mermaid.  

I've created the scene by using copic markers to colour in the sky, clouds, sea and beach.  

I have used the Kit and Clowder Create and Learn classes to help me with these backgrounds.  

They are the marker ones from May 2015, January 2016 and May 2016.
