Hi Oddies! Helen back with a reminder for the Zodiac challenge that is going on right now.

This is easy! Use one of the Zodiac Digi Stamps in one of your project, upload it to our Facebook Community, or on Instagram using the hashtag #sogzodiacchallenge. The winner will get a giftcard of $20!! YEAY! You´ll find all the Zodiac Digi Stamps right here!

I used Aries Digi Stamp and made a little Egyptian of her, maybe she is Cleopatra herself, looking into the sunset. I saw a picture on the Internet of a sunset sky, but I made it difficult for myself trying to blend in front of her, but I will use this sky again!

I wanted her to look up at the stars as she is a star sign, then I got the idea of putting her own star sign in the sky. To make it obvious I draw lines between the stars, just as they do with star signs. In my first card, I had a little heart in the sky as well, but it didn´t turn out as I wanted it, so when I made my second image I took it away. I embossed the sentiment, something I usually don’t do, but I wanted it to be white and I didn’t want to use some kind of banner this time.

Hi Oddies! Are you working on Halloween or Christmas projects? Well, there’s no reason why we can’t have one foot in both worlds!

Today’s project is all about Christmas and deers.

When I see an image that I really like, I try to combine it with different colors of paper. It happened with this sweet deer, that I printed in two different sizes, colored with alcohol markers and then fussy cut.

Since the deer was too small to fit the oval, I extended the line of the body and drew some more white dots.

In order to achieve a unique effect, I tied a string with a jingle bell.

I put the deers in an oval using foam tape, then I decided to use patterned papers as my card bases. For the smaller deer I chose a traditional color palette: red, gold and white.

For the other one I picked up a light blue paper, on which I drew some white dots as if they were snowflakes. The sentiment on both cards is an italian one that says “Merry Christmas“.

Hi Oddies! Happy Thursday! Jo here with a card featuring a mermaid from Mini Mermaids, critters from Under The Sea Mae, and the  Reef digi background.

The size of the card is 3.5″ x 8.5″, fits a standard business envelope. This size allowed me to create a landscape scene. The images were colored individually first, then layered on the card. Coloring the Reef image was intense for me LOL, but I pushed through and I love the results. The background is watercolored with Distress Oxide Inks in Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio. I cut some seaweed images from my Silhouette and layered two hill die cuts to create the base of the card.
