WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Delphineabella here with my Weekend Inspiration Post – and this time I decided to create a little Mixed Media board featuring our ODDBALL CHRISTMAS PARENTS set! You can also find ODDBALL CHRISTMAS KIDS and ODDBALL CHRISTMAS PETS to go with them.

First I coloured my Christmas Parents in Copics and did some fussy cutting. On a piece of yupo paper, I played with Copic Inks to create a background in Christmas colours and glued it onto a square white board. I added strips of washi tape around my square, a sentiment chipboard and 3 stars coloured in glitter pen. I glued the father to the background and put the mother on foam squares for a bit of dimension.

Copics used:

Background: R29, Y21, 26 – Copic Refills
Skin: E000, 00, 11, 71
Hair: 100, W5, 7
Red: R35, 37, 59, W7
Green: G28, YG03, 17, 67
Grey Trousers and Shoes: W3, 5, 7

Thanks for stopping by today, have a fab weekend everyone! Hugs,

Hello bellas!

Amy here once again and I’m switching gears as we head into serious Christmas card making season with this week’s Scenic Saturday. The new WINTER WOODLAND BACKDROP has quickly become a go-to for quickly setting the perfect snow-covered scene. This time around I paired it with the cute MINI ODDBALL AND HIS REINDEER.

I did do a minor alteration on this Oddball by wiping the ink off of the antlers on his head before stamping, which left me with the simple head of hair that I was after. 

Because this mini Oddball is carrying a lantern, I knew that I wanted to color these two into a night scene and really play up the glow of light being cast from the candle within. So, even though these woods are covered in snow I pulled out a full range of blue markers to color most of the space. The only white snow that I left is directly around the lantern and even it has a light coat of Y0000, which is a super light yellow. It is by being generous with the amount of blues used that the Winter Woodland Backdrop becomes shrouded in night time shadows. In contrast, Mini Oddball and His Reindeer were both colored to include the festive reds and greens of Christmas which when paired with the bright light of the lantern, draws your eye right to them. So as pretty as the winter background is, there is no doubt as to who are the stars of this show. Ok, well I hope this card helps you to not be afraid of adding plenty of color the next time you try your hand at coloring a snowy night.  

Stay crafty my friends!
