Hello Love! Slimline Card

-
Hello everyone!

Eny here, to share a fun tutorial with all of you! I have recently been in a slimline card kick. They are so fun to make, and the amount of "real estate " gets my imagination going. The possibilities are endless.

For todays project,  I will be using IMG#533 Creepy Cute Zombie Hearts and Hands.

I begin by printing my image on white smooth cardstock. I will be using Neenah Crescent Crest 80lb. I find it works well for Alcohol Markers.  To color my images, I will be using Arrtx markers. A affordable brand of Markers that I recently stumbled upon.


I color the images from darkest to lightest. I try to stay within the same color "family" , and pick out ay least 3 colors, so I make create cast shadows or shading, and a nice highlight.


Onve all images are colored, I can then fussy cut them for the project. 


I will be using 2 colored cardstock for the card cover; Hot Pink and Light Pink. I will also be using several dies. You can create any design you like, but for this valentines card , I will be using nesting heart dies from Tonic Studio. 


To create my slimline card, I trimmed the light pink cardstock to 3.5x7 and the Hot pink to 4x7.5


I will use the heart dies to cut "windows " on the light pink cardstock.


Make sure to use different sizes to create a fun pattern.


Using Distress Oxide inks Candy Apple, Worn Lipstick and Black Soot,  I will be adding extra pops of color to my cardstock. Make sure to blend as well as possible to create a seamless look.


My card cover is now ready to be decorated with all images and the sentiments I cut out from other dies in my stash. I decided do have the hands coming out of the heart windows, for a fun "peekaboo" look.


Finish the look by adding enamel dots. I used my favorite products for this,  Nuvo Drops.

I hope you enjoyed this pictorial and that you try this design with other Images! Make sure to visit the OddBall website so you can see all the fun images available in the shop.

Altered Project AECP Final

  Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing the second part of my final project for the Level 2 classes for the Aletnew Educator Certification Program. We got tasked with Altering or Upcycling an item, and I decided to alter this wall art piece I had gottern at Target a couple of years ago. I love the look of it, and how simple it is, but I also wanted to include pops of colors found around our house. We do have a coffee station in our home, and this will be the perfect accent piece for that space. I started by applying a bit of masking tape over the bottom black portion of the circle. I decided to add some color with Apple Barrel acrylic paint in the color Laguna. It is the perfect shade of teal (in my opinion). I didn't sand the piece before hand because I will be addimng texture, but you can definitely do that if you want full coverage. Using a dry paper towel, I will go over the still wet paint, leaving behind "splotches" on the surface. This is a fun and easy way to add
