Some Odd Girl!

 Hello! I made this Some Odd Girl card absolutely ages ago but forgot to post it...

I coloured with copics and then masked her out whilst I created a Distress Oxide background. I then stamped a background stamp in coloured ink. I added a strip of stripey paper and then added a die cut "hello" and a stamped sentiment in matching ink. Finally I added some enamel dots.

Supplies: Stamps (Some Odd Girl, Mama Elephant); Copics; Paper (MFT); Enamel dots (Doodlebug); Distress Oxide; Dies (MFT)

Some Odd Girl Fairy!

Hello!

Today I'm sharing an old digi image from Some Odd Girl. I think SOG digi stamps are still available via Whimsy Stamps so you can always check out there if you're after this image...

I coloured the fairy with copics and added some white gel pen highlights. I then masked her out and did some Distress Oxide blending over the top through a homemade stencil to create the background. I then added a strip of DP and an MFT sentiment. Finally I added some raindrops to finish! 

 Supplies: Stamps (Some Odd Girl, MFT); Copics; White gel pen; Distress Oxides; Paper (MFT); Raindrops (PTI)

Some Odd Girl- Summery Mae!

Hello! I've got a lovely summery card to share with you today showcasing Summery Mae from Some Odd Girl... 

I coloured Mae with copics and added some white gel pen and white pencil highlights and then fussy cut her out. I then masked out a strip along the card blank and blended some Distress Oxides together. I then added a strip of DP and stamped a sentiment from Stamping Bella which was perfect for this image! Finally I adhered Mae using 3d foam pads and added some bright enamel dots.

Some Odd Girl- Miss You Mae

Hallo my crafting sweet peas!

I've got a SOG card to share with today. I actually made it forever ago- and by that I *think* I made it when I was pregnant!!! So apologies for the quality of the photo and I couldn't find the close-up photo that accompanies it!

Miss You Mae is coloured with copics and fussy cut. These papers are MME Paris & Co. The 2 frames are PTI Shaker and Sprinkle dies. The Love die and hearts are by Paper Smooches and I cut the "love" out twice and then glued the top layer slightly offset to give the impression of a shadow. Seam Binding is by SU.

See you later in the week. Thanks for stopping by x

Some Odd Girl- Love Me Not Mae

Hey you! How's it going? 

I'm a bit short of crafting time of late- mainly my son keeps me so busy but also I've been trying to do some reorganisation of my craft room so at some point I will update my "my craft room" page so you can all have a nosy!

Anyway, today I thought I'd share a SOG card using the gorgeous Love Me Not Mae.

Love love this stamp!

So I coloured Mae with copics and added some lyra pencil shadow beneath her. These papers make me sigh with happiness! They're by Little Red Bicycle. I hadn't seen any of their papers before so I bought this pad, then wanted to see what else they had done because I loved this one so much and what do you know?- the company has closed down!!!! Pants!

Mae was cut out using a Lil Inkers stitched die. "Love" die is by Paper Smooches as is the biggest heart. The teeny hearts and heart border are a Mama Elephant die.

Here's your romantic close up!

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Back in a couple of days with a LOTV card x

Today's card is one I made a while ago featuring Some Odd Girl's Hey Mae...

Mae is coloured with copics. Papers are MME. Friend die and speech bubble die are both from Paper Smooches (with the heart from a PTI die). I kept the layout fairly simple- it's such a gorgeous image!

Sketch Saturday- Cody and Mae

It's Sketch Saturday time again and today I've got a SOGy Christmas card to show you...

This is SOG's Cody and Mae chosen specially for this year's Christmas card for hubbie. I think it's a Valentines image really but I thought, with the addition of a PTI mistletoe stamp from their Tremendous Treats set, it would be perfect for Chrimbo! I've coloured with copics and paper pieced the heart. The gold paper is Kaisercraft, the red stripey is Glitz Design. The 2 sentiments are both PTI, cut out with Let's Chat Speech Bubble Dienamic but I rounded off the ends. Glossy Accents added to the mistletoe berries.

Close up! I coloured them so they looked like us!

Here is Lizy's sketch!

This week the sponsor is Stampin Up and here's what you could win- fab prize, no?!

Gardening Mae

Happy Sunday! Thought I'd post an extra card this week as I decided to enter the Some Odd Girl Challenge for August...

I have used Gardening Mae coloured with copics. This is the first time I've ever coloured a proper background with copics - normally I cop out and use pencils for the grass as I'm too scared to be so bold- but I used Kristy's fabulous video tutorial to colour this and I'm so glad I did! These papers are Prima Believe.

I decided to make this card for my hubbie- just because. I used Squeezy Hugs by Some Odd Girl coloured with copics.

The sentiment is SOG from Romantic Gwen set. Papers are Basic Grey Lucille- soooo pretty! Ribbon is Stampin Up. Banners are a mixture of Fishtail Flag Stax and Jumbo Banner Stax Dienamics.

Some Odd Girl- my very first!

What a dismal day it is today- I think it's been raining here in Essex for 48 hours non-stop. Just a wee bit depressing! Anyway yesterday I decided to make a card just for fun- you know- no DT work, no deadlines- just cos I wanted!! I've recently fallen in love with Some Odd Girls! Yes, I know I'm strange- why has it taken me so long? I can't answer but I have fallen for them in a big way so expect to see some more from me! So I decided to enter this month's SOG's sketch challenge.

I have used Picnic Mae and coloured her with copics with a few lyra pencil highlights. These pretty papers are October Afternoon Woodland Park. Fence, grass and banner die are all Die-namics. Sentiment is Hero Arts. Butterflies are one of the paper designs which I then simply cut out.

Close up. I hope I've done her justice with my colouring. Kristy is such a fantastic colourist- is that a word?!
