Dude Time Doodles new release BLOG HOP

I guess you arrived here from Ruth's blog 

and are dying to know what new stamp I have on my blog

for the

Dude Time Doodles Challenge Blog

Well, this is rather fishy!

It is Ollie Octopus and he is so much

fun to use for all kinds of occasions.

Like for a love card. He has so many arms,

woudn't it be great to be hugged by 8 arms?

So much love around you.

For this card I also used a Martha Steward

border punch, some heart nestabillities and a

text by Create with TLC.

The little hearts have been run trough the cuttlebug.

 But I have some more ideas for you.

I came across another blog with

a wonderful idea for the octopus.

Take a look her at Mel's blog:

So what you see in the window is hairgel with stickles

to give the impression of water.

The background paper is made with watercolor paint

(the cheap kind your children use).

When the paint is dry, stamp bubbles with versamark

and use clear embossing posder of white embossing powder.

Bubble stamps are by smARTworks.

When finished heating the embossing powder

color again with watercolor paint.

When everything is dry, paper is run through

the cuttlebug.

When you open the card you see Ollie is

colored with copic markers.

On the top of the card as well as on the inside

you see some sentiments by Create with TLC.

Here you see a close up of the window with the hairgel.

Are you in for some more inspiration with some new digital stamps?
