Haallllooooooooooo

Hello Nomad friends.  It's actually been quite a creative weekend for me, inspired by some online fun.  I do work well to a deadline LOL.  

This was for a sketch challenge, and I was so happy to be inspired to use this fun Amy Tangerine camera embossing folder.  I used Studio Light Saturday Afternoon ephemera pack and went a bit mad with Radiant Neon Electric Green ink.  I'm sure someone will need this card one day.

Crazy Dogs

Hello Nomad friends.  Made some ATC's using Crazy Dogs.  Oldies but goodies.

I used two shades of pink distress ink on the background and stencilled using walnut stain distress and stampers anonymous halloween stencil.  Then I stamped Concord and 9th Geode rings with black ink.  The crazy dogs were stamped on brown card, fussy cut and I added a little gel pen/distress marker colour.  I used a sizzix ATC die to cut the ATC's.

Beautiful Pop Up

Hello Nomad friends.  I'm having fun with some online meetings and Endless Passion are having a 40 day Easter scrap.  They shared this awesome pop up so I had a go and made a confirmation card for a horse enthusiast.  

I used some really old Basic Grey papers, a Cheery Lynn doily die and konfirmant die and lovely horse stamps from Kort og Godt. 


Ta dah!!!!!   What a pop up.  It's impressive!! 
 More Basic Grey papers and all the stamps are Kort og Godt
 
Thanks for dropping by.  I am hoping for a super inspired weekend.  Hugz

Christmas Pizza

Hello Nomad friends.  Lovely sunny day today but bitter cold wind.  A nice day to hide in the greenhouse.  Also finished this Christmas card I started last night using kraft and white.

 
The pretty winter picture is from Reprint.  All the kraft card is bits of a co-op pizza box.  I used various dies from Spellbinders and Gummiapan and stamps from Kort og Godt.  Isn't that Santa reindeer sleigh postmark so sweet!!!

Thoughtful Geisha

Hello Nomad friends.  It's been a gorgeous but busy day.   I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with another lovely lady from the Lost Coast Designs catalogue.  Creating for the I Am Woman Challenge and I've used the beautiful Geisha from the Asian set against a Large Shrubbery Background

 
 
She's so pretty!!  I stamped the Shrubbery with Prickly Pear archival and the Travel Quotes sentiment with black ink.  I stamped the geisha on two pieces of card, one pink and one green, fussy cut the pieces and pieced her back together.
 
I hope you get time to join the I Am Woman challenge and don't forget to check all the wonderful inspiration from the team on the blog.

Crittercal Support

Hello Nomad friends.  I love critters.  Most critters are friends of mine.  Used this cute little dog from Pink and Main and a lovely sketch from De Egel, which I turned 180°, for this black and white plus one.

The background is from Pink and Main Good Vibes paper set cut with a Gummiapan stitch square die.  I inked the cut edges.  I found a tiny scrap of red foiled card with a wiggle edge and a scrap of black rose paper.  I cut the black rose paper with a double crazy stitch die.  I cut two hearts and stamped them with a Stampendous Kitty sentiment

Little paws......... BIG warm heart

Squuueeeeeee!  So cute, and the Pink and Main Hot Dog stamp.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you have had a joyful and lovely day.  Hugz

Go Bravely

Hello Nomad friends.  Me again with a second UFO finished!!   So good to get these off my desk.   This is a confirmation card I was working on.  Another one for the boys.  

I used a lot of scraps for this one.  The blue piece wasn't quite wide enough for my slimline base but I found another skinny piece of silver patterned card which I cut strategically to give me the two thin strips and also the small pieces above and below the boy.  I embossed the blue piece with sizzix travel words folder.  The boy is stamped on a piece of tea box and die cut with a matching die and I raided the black scraps for the two sentiments, both dies from Papirdesigns.
