LeighSBDesigns Art Stamps New Release - Alfred Hitchcock!

Howzit Stamping Friends!
On this day in 1980 we lost Alfred Hitchcock so I thought it only fitting that today's release be a tribute to the Master of Suspense and tomorrow is officially the start of Half-O-Ween, what could be more fitting right😃

Here he is looking splendid with the iconic Bird perched on his arm!

coloured with Copics
Alfred Hitchcock is now up in my Etsy Boutique and waiting to scare you into making some creeptastic projects, I can't wait to see what you create😋 
He's available at a special introductory price until I release my next new art stamp on May 2nd so grab him while he's on sale😋

Did you know?
You may think that Half-O-Ween is a fairly new concept but it's actually an old tradition recognized by many European countries.  In Germanic folklore, Walpurgisnacht, also called Hexennacht or Heksennacht (Dutch), literally means "Witches' Night".  Traditionally the start of Half-O-Ween is "Witches Night" on April 30th and then observed all May long.  The first known written occurrence of the English translation, "Walpurgis Night" is from the 19th century.   Many of the things we still do today, but have forgotten the reasons why, originated from this time like the ringing of Church bells and tying tin cans behind the car of newlyweds...all done to ward off evil during Half-O-Ween!

LeighSBDesigns Art Stamps New Release - lil Miss Oddleigh Cherished Heart Set!

Howzit Stamping Friends!
 I'm so thrilled everyone is loving all the LeighSBDesigns Art Stamp releases so far and now I'm excited to bring you release #4😃

Introducing the lil Miss Oddleigh Cherished Heart set of 2 digis!
 She's the 2nd character in my Oddleigh Family and she comes with a fun decorative Heart border.


She's so whimsically quirky standing there hugging her Cherished Heart, I think you guys could have lots of fun with her.  She can be used all year round and for any occassion but of course she's perfect for your Valentine and Mother's Day makes😋

She's now available at my Etsy Boutique at an introductory release price for the next 3 days so dash on over and grab her while she's on sale😋

Here's an ATC I made featuring her and the decorative Heart border which I used twice to frame her.


I used Copics to colour everthing except the background which is done with Derwent Pastel pencils and a Dove Blender pen and I hand wrote "Cherished Heart" with a Copic multiliner.  The decorative Heart borders and her heart were printed out twice so I could fussy cut them out and adhere with pop dots for a touch of dimension and I applied clear Wink of Stella to all the hearts and her shoes for a touch of magical sparkle.

LeighSBDesigns Art Stamps New Release - lil Miss Oddleigh Flower set!

Howzit Stamping Friends!
Thank you everyone for making my launch weekend such a huge success.  I'm thrilled you love my Steampunk Easter Bunny and have been creating with him already, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your wonderful comments and support😊

I'm now excited to introduce you to lil Miss Oddleigh Flower!  You may have noticed her in some of my badge/banner designs already😋  She's the first in my Oddleigh Family series of whimsical and quirky caricatures.  Oddleigh Flower is holding a flower and comes with a garden of 3 flowers.  This set of 2 digi stamps is so much fun and very versatile, you can use her or the flower garden on their own or build a garden scene and surround her with as many flowers as you want!  She can be coloured in any style and is suitable for any occasion, Mother's Day, Birthday, Friend cards, Just Because and more!

  
I used a bright and bold palette to colour her and used the flower garden twice to create this scene.  I had so much fun designing her and I hope you will love her too!  She's now available in my Etsy Boutique at an introductory release price for the next 3 days!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/525209613/whimsical-miss-oddleigh-flower-stylized?ref=shop_home_feat_2
 
Here's my finished card, for this one I printed out the flower she's holding twice and fussy cut the 2nd to add a 3D element to the scene.
