Scrap Bunny

Hello Nomad friends.  2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal.  My card whizzed it's way to Kathy in the UK this month.  I went with the long ears option, no surprize there then, and happy hour!!   Oh, no, happy hour wasn't an option bwahahhaaaaa.   May I creep in with a fancy edge???  Ah well, only one option is required and friendship is always on the table. 

I used lots of scraps for this one.  Die cut bits that were lurking in my desk box.  For the background I used some string block stamping and then some ink pad stamping with distress ink.  I arranges all the fun die cut elements and then found a sizzix bunny die, which I cut from a scrap of grey card and added some promarker colour.  The sentiment is from a sheet from Funky Fossil.

Bright Like a Diamond

Hello Nomad friends.  The end of the month is nigh.........  Did a sneaky bit of seed sowing this evening so I could tell myself I got them in in April bwahaahahahaaaaa.  Ah well, it has been a lovely day and a glorious evening.  And I did manage to get to the craft room and do some last of the month things.


Opps, sorry, should have given you a bright alert!!  This looks kinda hectic, but basically it's the Kort og Godt wiggly circle die put together as many layers, with a Honey Bee sunburst die cut in yellow and a spellbinders flower in a pot.  Then I added a Papirdesigns birthday greeting and some negative bits from last nights buckles cos a gold glitter diamond or 9 is hard to put in the bin.

Pretty in Pink

Hello Nomad friends.  Tis confirmation season soon again here in Norway.   I made my own background for this one with some string block stamping and some fun stamps from Funky Fossil Dream Whale set.  

The violin player silhouette is a Paper Discovery die and the girl is a Kort og Godt stamp.  I added some window frames cut using a die from Poppystamps Corner Shoppe Pop Up Easel Set for interest and added texture.

Camel Scrap

Hello Nomad friends.  It's been busy in the garden.  Sunny days have turned to drizzle and a cold wind, but hoping the sun will come through a bit later.   In the mean time I have taken myself off to the desert with some scraps and this awesomely cute camel die from Gummiapan.


 I used a blue card base and stencilled with Aall and Create broken circle stencil and blue distress ink. I cut the Gummiapan sun and camel from scraps of yellow and beer packaging.  The yellow circle offcut was stencilled with yellow ink and another aall and create stencil, friendly avenue.  The palm trees were cut using a sizzix die from green card and I added a little promarker brown to the stems.
