Just Citrus

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some more Lemon and Lime inspiration.  This month we are asking you to pick a colour scheme between Lemon and Lime or Turquoise and Terracotta.   The choice is yours!  Your anything should feature mostly your two chosen colours and don't forget to stamp.

I've kept it simple and used the lovely Jester Square by Carmen's Veranda coloured with green and yellow distress watercolouring.  I stamped the Happy Birthday and Do I smell cake? from Lost Coast Designs Party Words using Prickly Pear archival ink.

 

 

 

Grab your stamps and pick your colour scheme and join the fun.   We give a real rubber stamp prize to our randomly picked winner, but we do need at least 20 entries to award the prize, so tell your friends and get stamping!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Old Yellow

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today.  This month it's all about colours with a choice of two colour schemes to choose from.  I've gone all Lemon and Lime and used this beautiful Old Truck stamp from Carmen's Veranda. 

The background stamp is Carmen's Veranda Cracked Mirror.  I used green ink for stamping and distress inks for water colouring.  The sentiment is from Lost Coast Designs Travel Quotes set.

Chicken In Paris

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  21 awesome artists took part in the May exchange including a new player, Wendy in Ireland.  So nice to have new friends to send snail mail to.  

I sent my card to Dagmara in Poland this month and went with the options of Chickens and Smiles and Laughter. 

 I embossed the kraft background with sizzix paris folder and grunged it up with old paper distress ink.  I stamped the Hobby Art chicken, fussy cut and added him to the card.  The sentiment is from Carmen's Veranda, which is my go to for funny words!

 

 Do hop over and check out all the awesome cards in the REVEAL

Panda Party

Hello Nomad friends.  Made an envelope fold card for the Lunar New Year Challenge featuring Beloved Panda in relax mode.

 

I used Funky Fossil red and yellow papers and from the Comic Book Chaos paper pad and folded it into an envelope pocket card.  

 

I have a removable tag in the pocket stamped with Hero Arts Autumn Moon stamps.  I have folded up the bottom of the tag so it a gift card or tea bag is tucked in the pocket it will lift out with the tag.  The panda's are Funky Fossil stamps.  The tag removed reveals sleepy beloved panda.

 Inside I added another panda, with a gold and red parasol.

Because You Are Special

Hello Nomad friends.  I've been having fun creating today and since I was doing a gold blue palette I rummaged through the scraps before I started and grabbed all the golds and blues I could find.  It made a nice pile and an even better result.

I used a simply lovely sketch from Endless Passion and Tonic Ava dies.  The 'to you' and lightning bolt and heart are Papirdesign dies.  The holographic gold scrap was embossed with sizzix rays folder.

I turned it into an easel and used another Papirdesign die for the stop.

What a Weird Day

Hello Nomad friends. Happy Accension day.  Hope you have had a lovely day.  I've made a hello baby card using some Memory Box and Poppystamp dies.

I found some fancy handmade blue pearlescent paper and backed the die cut circle with some smooched aztec paint card.  I used Memory Box Baby Script and Precious Mobile cut from scraps of blue and yellow card respectively.  I used markers to colour the frame, hearts and stars.  Then I used some more scraps of the blue and Poppystamps Hello Background die for the hello!

Pink Spirit

Hello Nomad friends.  Not a bad day in spite of the forecast.  We live in an area that experiences very very local weather so it's always fun to grip the day and see if the weatherfolk have been hit or miss.  Today the miss was in our favour.  I have a hen in the process of hatching some chicks.  Three were hatched this morning and she is still sitting on a couple more eggs.  Not expecting much from those, but hopefully I will be pleasantly surprized.  Eggs and chickens are amazing things.  Decided to celebrate with a boosy bottle tag.

 

I made a distress ink splashy background and cut it with Avery Elle Sip Sip Horray tag die.  Then I embossed with the spider web in Poppystamps Halloween Assemblege die set.  The cute Ghost is from the same set.  I did a bit of tricky die cutting using a circle frame and Poppystamps Echo Blossoms die sets for the bit behind the ghost.  Then I found a couple of stamps and some die cut letters to make the Enjoy The Boos sentiment.
