Skull Watch

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy Month of Love.  It's February and I am kicking off the month over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with some inspiration  for the Love and Hearts Challenge.  Looking through the Lost Coast Design stamps I came up with a lovely combo for a CAS style card.

I used Lost Coast Designs White Nose Sugar Skull, Hearts and Curl Border and Love Dictionary Words for this card.  I stamped the Love words directly on the white card panel using red archival ink.  I stamped the border stamp on white card with the same red ink, trimmed it and mounted it on a red card layer before adding it to the card base.  The sugar skull was stamped on white card, coloured with distress markers and gel pens, fussy cut and added to the card.  Those little layers add some lovely dimension. 

You have all month to join the fun with your stamped anythings featuring love and hearts.  I love to give away Linda's stamps, but we do need 20 entries to award a prize so please join us and don't forget to tell your friends.  The team will be sharing amazing inspiration throughout the month so do hop over often and see what we are doing.  A follow and a comment are always appreciated.

Remember This

Hello Nomad friends.  The end of January is nigh and I am trying to get some last minute UFO's finished.  My man doesn't understand that this is a really bad time to change internet providers, but luckily it went smoothly.  That's cos I kept out of the way while he was swearing.  I mean while he was getting it all set up bwahhaahahhhahahaa.   Anyway, lets finish of with another bit of pink christmas with ye olde decoupage technique.

I purchased a box of highly assorted goodies from another crafter and it arrived today, so I had fun picking through and seeing what I scored.  The snowman and friends is from trimcrafts Pepper's Christmas Party First Snow die cut decoupage pad.  Never ran across this one in the day, it's dated 2010, but there are some pretty cute images in it so look forward to seeing some more in the coming months.  It fitted perfectly on my supposed to look like northern lights background made using distress inks.  The pink crystal swirls were also in todays box and I stamped the merry xmas in pink ink cos why not.

Gin Gin

Hello Nomad friends.  Since I had the bottle tag die out I decided to make another one using the last Funky Fossil papercraft kit, which was all about drinkies and retro.

I cut the Avery Elle bottle tag from purple card and stencilled with Funky Fossil Grafitti stencil.  I used a YNS die to cut the holes and stitched with some embroidery thread.  I stamped the gin glass on white card, cut with the matching die and added some distress marker colour.  The sentiment is a printed sticker from the sheets that came with the FF set and a printed heart to finish.

Queen Puffin

Hello Nomad friends.  Archiscraps want crowns.  Now that was a stretch.  Then I stumbled across this puffin from Crafty Individuals, stamped on some blue embossed dot paper and fussy cut.  Perfect!!!

 

I used my Avery Elle bottle tag die to cut some polka dot card, stamped Carmen's Veranda Queen of Everything sentiment, added a ripped scrap, the puffin and a couple of hearts.  Done!!

What Goes A Round Comes A Round

Hello Nomad friends.  Who stole January!!  Oooh, only 11 months til Christmas bwahaahahahahhaa.   I suppose I should be getting all lovey dovey but it's too cold, so I'm going scrappy and muted tones with an important message on a mini-art journal page.

I moved a thing and found a tray with some die cut/fussy cut/stamped/inked tings.  Rummaging through I found this beautiful steampunk girl from Blue Knight stamps.  I am grateful to have a few of these sketchy type figure stamps, cos I think they are beautiful, and they are also discontinued!!!  There was also that pink bit with the sentiment and stamping which I am fairly sure is Rubber Dance.  I also found the be kind sentiment stamp, which I am sure will be used a lot now I have rediscovered it.  I consulted my shades of blue circle die cut collection and after a little cutting and stamping and moving it all around it looked like this.  

A meaningful little page.  I think I will have fun making it some friends.

Still Shakin'

Hello Nomad friends.  Another shaker!!  Gosh!!!  Well, I'm in the groove and that isn't always the case, so I thought I'd take advantage.  I used Poppystamps Cat Collage die and Criss Cross Hearts stencil in the shaker aperture.

I used a piece of burlap patterned paper and cut a frame from yellow card using Daisy Ma dies.  The sentiment stamps are from Funky Fossil.
