Hi!

Today is my first day to inspire you here on the blog. I’m also a new member of the SOG DT, I’m Helen from Sweden. I’ve been crafting for a while. For seven years I ran a scrapbook store in Sweden and when I did I stocked Some Odd Girls clear stamps so I really love the images I will be coloring and am thrilled to be joining the DT for this term.

For my first card I used Wraith Mae Digi Stamp. At first I got her for halloween, but then I thought that she would be a perfect sea wraith as well (it’s not just mermaids down there, you know). I see her as she went down with the ship and now she’s watching over it, waiting for her loved one.

The colors I used are:
SKIN: B60 – R11 – BV31 – BV20
HAIR: RV91 – RV93 – RV95 – T5
DRESS: BG11 – BV000 – BG15 – BG11
BACKGROUND: B000 – BG10 – BG13 – BG23 – B32 – B45 – BG75 – B97 – B99 – YG00 – YG03 – BLENDER

Sea you soon!
/Helen

Hello there! I’m Giada and today it’s my turn! I’m pretty excited to be here: I’ve been following Some Odd Girl for ages and I love the very unique designs. I’m an italian cardmaker and I always try to create a scene that tells a story – I hope that it makes sense.

Today, for example, I’m showing you a brightful card with these two adorable birds of love on a tree branch. Since there is a little wood where I live, I often listen chirping and tweeting and I like to imagine which kind of birds are hidden in the trees.

Probably the colors of these ones are too exotic, but for me imagination and reality are not important during the creative process.

I started by setting the birds on the tree branch, then I printed and colored everything with promaker pens. The sample of the birds in the shop helped me a lot as I chose the same color combination.

As the size of the birds is quite big, I decided to keep the card simple and set up a cloudy background by blending Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide on a piece of white cardstock. Finally I stamped an italian sentiment that says “best wishes” and put everything onto a black cardbase.

What are you working on? Share your project with the Some Odd Girl Community, get inspired…and let me know if you like my card!

Thank you for stopping by!
