Hello Lovely Oddies!

I am back with my second boy themed project this week. I couldn’t resist colouring up Pirate Tobie!

He was one of the most fun colouring projects I have done in a while!  I actually remembered to write down my colour combos for all you lovely oddies and thought I would share them with you! 

 

 

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E21, Eo4 tongue: Ro2

Hair: E27, E35, E59

Yellow/ Gold: Y00, Y15, Y19, E99

Red: R14, R08, R46, R39

Black: C5, C9, 100 (I went over the C5 with C9 on the hat to darken it up and on the vest)

Brown Pants: E42, E43, E44, E77

Peg Leg/ brown part of the vest: E35, E27

Sword and Hook: I added Versamarker to them and then added  Zings Pewter embossing powder to make them super shiny and metallic looking. 

 

 

 

 

I hope to start adding more colour combos on here when I can. I cannot tell you how many times I appreciated colourists sharing their colour combos on their blogs… It saves me a lot of time when trying to find what colours go well together. 

I loved adding the little pirate flag and anchor to the black and white twine… This was really going out of my comfort zone because I do not normally use twine (due to it unraveling on me or making things warp.)

I then added some silver star brads (sorry they look black in photos) to add some more silver to the project and then I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder. 

Hope you like this one as much as I do! I love when projects come together how I imagined. 

Lots of hugs sweeties!

Good morning everyone!  Sadia writing today, from the sea side, enjoying last days of summer at the beach.

I used Dressy Mae and Mod Mae and colored them with Prismacolor, I inserted the heart with the cameo, since is a silhouette file.

I love using Prismacolor on crafts, the color is brilliant and vibrant, which I love!

 

I hope you like my card and now I’m going to run at the beach for the last swim of the day…

Hello Oddies! 

This September I am focusing on making boy cards! 

We have multiple stamps that work amazingly well for boy cards whether they are young or older. So I thought I would showcase some of these stamps, and fill my stash of cards with some more masculine cards! 

Today I decided to play with Prince Charming Tobie and make a fantastical scene… I added little gold embossed stars to add a touch of whimsy to the image, and then I thought it would be fun to add pearls to the crown and embellish his baubles on his cape. 

I love to offset paper on little boy cards, cause it add’s a bit of unusual charm and interest to a card. I decided to keep my colour pallet to blue’s and greens for a more traditional bright boy card and to match the pattern papers. 

I thought this would make a cute inspirational “just because card”  for one of the amazing little men in my life.
