Jolly Goth

Hello Nomad friends.  Trying out my goth christmas vibe again today.  Hoping red and black and some stocking net meets the bill.

I used a black base card and panel and Poppystamps Brilliant Star Oval die.  I cut the oval into the black panel and backed the aperture with some red glittery net.  Then I cut the Star Oval die again from red card and glued it over the net.  I glittered the black panel and added a Memory Box chippy Greeting Tab.

Autumn Wedding

Hello Nomad friends.  I was asked for an autumn wedding card and here's what I came up with.

I used a Unity stamp coloured with distress markers.  I added more yellow ink to the background printed card.  I used some lovely chunky brown lace around the edges and a bit of gold glitter paper for added bling.

It's Your Day

Hello Nomad friends.   I have been meaning to join the De Egel sketch and use gnomes challenge and finally today is the day!!!   For gnomes I always reach for Lost Coast Designs stamps, cos they have so many designs and da gnomes are so cute!!!!!   Today it's one of my favourites Looking Up.

 Isn't he adorable!!  I used a base card then a panel of patterned card.  I added a snippet of pearlescent embossed card and the kraft circle I embossed with a sizzix folder used to be part of a wine box.  I stamped the gnome on a scrap of white card, coloured with distress markers and added him to the card.  The silver doily cut behind the kraft circle is a marianne designs die.  I used snippets and spellbinders dies for the triangles and flowers and the sentiment is papirdesigns die and more snippets and says It's Your Day.

Thanks for dropping by.  HUGZ

Gothic Window

Hello Nomad friends.  Making a start on a few October Christmas cards.  Well, 'be prepared' is a good motto.  The Christmas Kickstart Challenge has a Goth theme this month.  What fun!!  I haven't gone all dark and gloomy, but hope my gothic window and goth style text fits the bill.

The window is a Lost Coast Designs stamp, stamped and coloured with distress markers.  Then I gave the background a watercolour wash with Pumice distress ink and stamped the tiny brickwork details randomly, to make it look like a church wall??  Vaguely maybe??  I recently acquired this goth text merry christmas second hand.  I don't know who makes it, but Scrapmagasinet have ones in a similar style.  Anyway, it's big and beautiful.  I cut it from pink holographic card and twice from black and layered them.  

For those of you going 'that's not pink'.  I decided pink wasn't very goth so used an dark purple promarker to colour the holographic card.   It is still very blingy in the real but a nice shade of purple now.  The alcohol marker takes quite a time to dry on the glossy card, but was worth the wait.  Also check before going ahead that the alcohol marker is not going to destroy your mirror finish.  This holographic card has a plastic cover that is OK with excess alcohol, but some mirror finishes don't like it at all, so a spot test is worth doing.

 Anyway, thanks for dropping by.  Back soon......  Hugz
