I'm really going ODD at the moment

I am totally hooked on the Some Odd Girl creations at the moment lol... I had fun the other day with the greyscale image stamped in London Fog ink and so I thought I'd give it another go... I loved the effects of the POP of colour that I was seeing all over the SOG Ning Group... and so I was inspired to pop in not just one but a couple of SOFT colours alongside my Greyscale image :) And this is the result ....

 

The image is a clear stamp - Nouveau girl :: Renew

Coloured with Copics .. Cool & Neutral Greys  as well as a couple of RVs, Bs, YGs & Gs :)

I've kinda used the current SOG Sketch challenge... although the shapes have morphed a little! 

Thanks for stopping by... TODAY I have been doing a couple of BLOG CHANGE bits... making some badges for the sidebar.... these are titles for the main themes I will be blogging about from now on... I'm going to try and label things a little better from here on in :)

Don't forget about my 5yr celebratory candy... scroll down OR click the link --}


 

On the 7th and 8th day of sketches.....

...the Greeting Farm has for us .....
TWO awesome sketches from Jessica!!!

and here are the two cards I created....
1. For day seven's sketch I used New Year Toby (the free image from Marina Neira - at TGF)

Paper = basic grey, coloured with Copics and I added glossy accents to the glass.... Here's a closer look, below.

2. For day eight's sketch I have used the Me Time Anya set... with Anya in the robe and the smaller stamps that come with the set... I had a lot of fun with this one... the Paper is Basic Grey again - Lemonade range.

Stamp with Sarah Kay

I am finally able to enter the Stamp with Sarah Kay challenge! Thanks to Chris! :)

This week the challenge was a sketch challenge... I love this sketch and think I might use it again! :) I love the work of the designers on the Sarah Kay Weekly challenge site!! :)

Here's my take:



I'm loving my copic markers - used them to colour the image and the scallop on the back edge

Trina's sketch challenge

I thought I'd have a go at Trina's sketch challenge... she has some AWESOME blog candy up for grabs! :) here is Trina's sketch:


Trina has a great blog - lots of yummy cards and inspiration! Go and check it out!!

and here is my card!



I flipped the sketch (as otherwise the girl was looking off the edge of the card.. I think it's better with her looking across the card!?)
I really enjoyed this sketch - it was lots of fun ... Think I might try using it again :)

This is another Elisabeth Bell image (THANKS EM!!)
I used the paper, ribbon + bloom which I bought yesterday!

Thanks for looking!

Dottie's World :: Sketch Challenge

The challenge for this past week on Dotties World was a sketch one ... I have the dimensions all messed up - but here is my card anyway!! Also my colouring was not so good this time - too much water*!!!!



(* I use watercolour pencils primarily for all my colouring at the moment)!

Stamp Something :: Sketch Challenge

This was my first card today... I spent all morning 'Stamping' ... yesterday my friend at work lent me her box of stamps for the weekend! oooh ... how exciting ... so I had to "try them all out"!!!

This card For the Stamp something sketch challenge.... I'm not that keen on it - I think I tried to put too many different colours in it and even after ironing the ribbon it still does not sit properly!!

I like the sketch .. just not what I did with it! Maybe I'll try it again some other time!

Once again I have been doing some more blog hopping ... I found another great blog ::
