Some Odd Girl Take Two



I wanted to try the Some Odd Girl Sketch the right way round, so I flipped Shy Fairy vertically and went in search of some new inspiration. First I found 4 Crafty Chicks inspiration photo and immediately thought of Mel Stampz tutorial on making your own patterned paper. I dropped the colours into her chevron overlay and set about choosing matching Promarkers. The Patterned paper is very busy and I wasn't sure what I could use with it to keep to the sketch, until I remembered A Blog Named Hero challenged us to use vellum, which I embossed with the HA/Sizzix Dot Swirl. Then with Shy Fairy masked I white embossed a swirling sky using Hero Arts Magical Background coloured with distress inks. Next my Paper Smooches sentiment on the banner and I set about making my embellishments: 1. Diecut glittered letters for the birthday girl's name, 2. White embossed swirly star with her age and 3. Sequins (less making for these and more finding them in my big mixed bag).

Shy Fairy



I've used the Some Odd Girl August sketch (in mirror image) with Shy Fairy. Her hair matches the birthday girl and I've coordinated her clothes with the patterned paper. I didn't have a matching red/pink Promarker so I mixed watermelon and burnt orange for a near perfect match to the flower's colour. My red and pink Promarkers need adding to, methinks! My little bug: a butterfly carrying the birthday girls age.

G is for ...

Glitter Glue, Girl, Green [but turquoise is possibly blue, so I'll cover that by listing it as Gaeilge: Gorm]


This is a lovely digi image, Shy Fairy, I won from Some Odd Girl. I've coloured her with Promarkers & fussy cut her to sit on the twine, which moved so she looks like she's floating. Note to self: secure twine at back! I've diecut, embossed and distress inked my oval, embossed the base card, punched my number 7 butterfly & liberally sprinkled with glitter glue. The fairy's hair was coloured to match the birthday girl. I'm looking forward to trying this image with different colours.
