Pirate Dakota!

 AHOY Kaylee!  Say hello to the latest new release at Some Odd Girl, Pirate Dakota!  It appears she has found that treasure chest all pirates covet.  Perfect for a birthday card, goody bag tag or anything.

The card was made using Bo Bunny patterned paper, Core'dinations Cardstock, Spellbinders dies, and Copic Markers!

Kaylee Mermaid

I'm so glad I was able to share a mermaid with you each week in May.  Today I have a brand new digi stamp from Some Odd Girl to show you and, of course, it's a MERMAID.

This is Kaylee Mermaid colored with Spectrum Noir Aquablend pencils.  The background was made using Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers.  I love watercoloring with both the pencils and markers.  They were a good choice for coloring Kaylee Mermaid to give her a soft look.

Spectrum Noir Aquablend  Pencils used:
Straw, Canteloupe, Sorrel = Skin
Bright Green, Dandelion, Kiwi, Lagoon, Aqua, Aegean Blue, Papava = other

Spectrum Noir Aqua Markes used:

Peacock Blue, Aquamarine, Navy

Mer-MAY!

Puffer Cone Mermaid is a NEW mermaid at Some Odd Girl!  She is a great addition to the other mer-folks at SOG.

She is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I used some Spellbinders dies to create her extra underwater friends.

Spectrum Noir Markers used:

Skin: TN4, FS2, FS3, FS4, FS6

Hair:  OR1, OR2, OR3, CT1, B03

Other:  IB1 IB2, CR3, CR2, CR4, CR1, GB1, BGR1, BGR2, EB1

Mer-May!

Each week during May I'm going to share a mermaid with you (Mer-May)! 

This week features Sea Song Mae, which is a digi stamp from Some Odd Girl, she is colored with Spectrun Noir Markers and Sparkle Pens.

Spectrum Noir Markers:

Skin - FS2, FS4, FS6, RB1, CR3, eyes - IB1
Hair DR2, CR1, Shells - TN3, TN1
Top and tail - LG5, GT1, GT2, IB1, IB2

Butterfly's are free to fly...

An easy project to share!

I colored and cut out the butterfly from a Crafter's Companion Colorista coloring book using Colorista markers.  Next I paired it up with the patterned paper from Authentique using Core'dinations cardstock as the card base. The lace border was made using Crafter's Companion Diesire Edge'ables Doily Lattice metal die.  Tossed on a few shiny tiny buttons and TA-DAH!

Happy May Day!

I made this little flower box for a girlfriend.  We always exchange little treats on May 1st, or May day as we call it.  I've got some Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen action on the flowers.

Day of the Dead!

Quick peek at Watercoloring with Spectrum Sparkle Pens

Watch how easy it is to watercolor using Spectrum Sparkle Pens on Spectrum Aqua Watercolour cardstock.

The digi stamp is on the CD that comes with the 2017 Spring Edition of Crafter's Companon Inspiration Magazine (available May 9 on HSN, more info available HERE).

I merged the cupcakes together and added the sentiment, printed it, and watercolored.

I also used products by Core'dinations, Freckled Fawn, Echo Park, and Doodlebug.

You take the cake!

I needed a quick birthday card so I decided it was time to play with my Spectrum Aquablend pencils and Tiny Baker from Some Odd Girl.

I stamped her using Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink onto Spectrum Aqua watercolour cardstock.  I colored her up quick and added some embellies.  It's ready to mail! 

Coloring Challenge!

Grab Some Odd Girl's digi Gardening Mae for $1.00 and join the coloring contest at Kit and Clowder.

I'm just getting started using Spectrum noir markers.  There is a learning curve here compared to my usual Copic markers but I love the challenge.  I have a serious alcohol marker addiction.  More practicing to come!!

Little Love!

The April challenge is up at Some Odd Girl!  As usual, Anything ODD Goes, and the optional twist is nothing square.  The designers have some great projects to share with you so be sure to visit the blog for inspiration.

I created this using the digi Baby Bath colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the SOG clear stamp set Little Loves and was stamped using Memento Rose Bud ink.  Added a few little embellishments and it's ready to go.

Spring Flowers!

Want to send flowers...well how about a paper flower pot full of flowers!  I created this using the Crafter's Companion Create a Flower metal die set by Sheena Douglass.  It has three different sized flower petals so you can build the size and type of flower you want.

I used Bazzill white cardstock to cut the flowers and then colored each.  I wanted the petals to have a little bit of a streaky look hoping that would make them look a bit more natural.  I used Spectrum Noir colors:  HB1, HB3, GB4, GY1, AP4, RB2, LG5.

The card opens so you can leave a personal message inside. 

Shaker Easter Card!

Time for an Easter project!

I used Spellbinders egg shaped dies to create a shaker, which I filled with some fun confetti I grabbed at Target.

This card features the Some Odd Girl digi Eggster Bunny.  He is just the perfect addition to this card.  I also used the sentiment from the clear stamp set Hip Hop Hooray from Some Odd Girl.

This card will stand open but lays flat to close and mail.  Kind of lumpy for mailing so it will require a padded envelope.

Pink and Purple tag!

Today I'm sharing this bright tag I created using Crafter's Companion Colorista products, including Spectrum Noir Colorista Markers.  There is also an added touch of the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.

What to do with a Medallion?

One easy thing is to turn it into a card.  I trimmed this coloring page from Crafter's Companion so I could use it to create a card.  I also cut out the very center flower and raised it using some Scrapbook Adhesives pop dots.  Quick and easy card!
