"Fireworks Burning Bright" mixed media Oddleigh tag by Leigh!

Happy 4th of July Creative Friends!
I've got a fun and fabulous tag to share today plus 4th of July weekend SALEbration news🎉

Shop LeighSBDesigns store wide SALE this holiday weekend and pick up some must haves for your collections!  The Sale starts at midnight tonight and ends at midnight pacific on Sunday July 7th!  Enjoy😀

lil miss Oddleigh July 4th is the star of my mixed media tag creation today.  How adorbs is she!!!

She's so cute and super fun to create with and I paired her up with my own handwritten text.
 I'll be adding this lil text story to an upcoming Sentiment Set so stay tuned😉

 I had so much fun creating this fun July 4th scene with all the dimension, texture, sparkle and shimmer....soooo pretty!

I created the background with Wilted Violet, Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides with fun water splats to create the mottled textural effect that I think looks like distant firework lights.  I used Dylusions paint pens to base colour in the Oddleigh Fireworks and then applied Sunny Yellow Viva Pearl 3D gel to the stars and blue and pink glitter glue to the sparks.  I also used black and white Dylusions paint pens to add the fun border to frame the scene as well as her cute checkerboard stockings.



 I coloured lil miss Oddleigh July 4th's hair and face with prismacolor pencils and her eyes, lips, clothes and the USA flag with sparkle gel pens.  For even more shimmer I applied clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen to her eyes and eyelashes as well as the highlight areas on her face.  The text is handwritten with a black sharpie fine point pen and mounted on Crafter's Companion heavy weight black cardstock.  I used the same cardstock to die cut out the large Crafter's Companion Contemporary Tag.  To add even more fun shine I used gold Pebeo gilding wax to edge and enhance the stitched design on the black tag as well as frame all the text.  I layered my scene onto the tag with pop dots for some fun dimension and adhered the text with tacky glue.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing lil miss Oddleigh celebrate her 4th of July and hope your evening is as magical as hers🎉 

Don't forget to shop my SALEbration this weekend and add her and her friends to your collections😉

Tutorial Tuesdays: Oddleigh Birthday Celebrations Accordion Book by Nan!

Hiya Creative Friends!
We're celebrating LeighSBDesigns 1st Birthday this month🎉  Enter the Birthday Card Contest using the provided FREEBIE for the chance to win one of 3 prizes sponsored by LeighSBDesigns, Simply B Stamps and Ike's Art!  Check out all the Birthday Celebrations HERE!  The contest ends on April 22nd, you don't want to miss it😋

PLUS, if you're a LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique customer already then check your Etsy Conversation inboxes, you all have received Birthday pressies🎉

The Oddleighs are having a wonderful time celebrating our 1st birthday🎉
Just look at this fabulous mixed media accordion fold book created by LeighSBDesigner Nan for today's Tutorial Tuesday segment🎉
  

1.  Create an accordion fold book from cardstock with panels that each measure 5" x 5" and add a 1/2 an inch flap on both ends.

2.  Decorate the panels with assorted stamps inked with your favorite colors.

3.  Apply soft body or craft acrylic paint with an old credit card over to each panel and let it dry.

4.  Apply white acrylic paint or gesso over Step 3 and let it dry.

5. Print out all the Oddleigh Girls, the Oddleigh Cherished Heart border, Oddleigh Flower's flowers and the Fireworks that come with both the Oddleigh July 4th and New Year sets and the Birthday Card Contest FREEBIE and color everything with markers and colored pencils.  Fussy cut all the images, except the FREEBIE, and adhere them to the book panels.

6.   Ink up the panel edges with your favorite ink pads or use acrylic paint applied with a sponge.

7.  Cut 4 pieces of cardstock measuring 7" x 7" for the front and back covers plus 2 panels of the same size from a cereal box.

8.  Emboss the front and back cardstock covers and then glue them to the cereal box panels to make the book covers nice and sturdy.

9.  Apply glue to the 1/2 inch flaps on the ends of the accordion book and attach the front and back covers.  To give the book a nice finished look cover the other side of the cereal box panels with the last 2 pieces of cardstock and hide the glued flaps.

10.  Attach 2 pieces of ribbon to the front cover of the book.  Leave enough ribbon loose on the ends to be able to wrap around the book and tie with knots or bows to keep the book closed.  Then finish off by attaching the FREEBIE image to the front cover with foam tape.

Undo the bow and enjoy the Oddleigh party🎉

Howzit Stamping Friends!

Happy July 4th weekend to everyone in the USA!

I'm back today with the 2nd of my new releases for July!  I'm excited to introduce you all to lil Miss Oddleigh July 4th!

Did you see yesterday's Tangled Rose Collage release during the blog hop?  Click HERE or scroll down to the next post for lots of inspiration featuring the Tangled Rose Collage and Tangled Raven!

Lil Miss Oddleigh July 4th is whimsical, quirky and super cute dressed in her stars and stripes dress and waving the American flag as she ooooooohs and aaaaaaahs at the fireworks bursting above her head!  You can create all sorts of wonderful patriotic scenes with her for your Independance celebrations and mix and match her with the other Oddleigh characters and accessories in the Oddleigh Family collection.

Lil Miss Oddleigh July 4th is a set of 4 images and comes with a cluster of bursting Fireworks and separate texts "oooooooo" and "aaaaaaaa".

She is now available in my Etsy Boutique, for a special intro price for a limited time, as an instant downloadable digi stamp set in 300+ resolution and contains 8 separate digi images without watermarks.  Each image is provided in 2 file formats, jpg & png files, and are ready for you to resize as needed, print and colour with your favorite mediums for cards, ATCs, journal pages and more!

 Tangled Rose Collage is a whimsically dark and quirky collage of tangled designs.   There's eyeballs, blood drips, flowers with human teeth for petals combined with elegant tangled patterns and a large stylized rose, all of which make this collage stamp perfect as the main focus or background of your Half-O-Ween, Halloween and Creepmas creations or for those in between projects when you just feel like creating creeptastic dark art😋
