On Butterfly Wings

Hello Nomad friends.  I've made a card to send to a friend having a difficult time.   Sending love on butterfly wings.

White hammered card base, pink bazzill panel cut using a Marianne Design die.  Memory Box Gloriosa Butterfly cut from copper mirror card and backed with blue distress smooched paper.  The flower is Memory Box Arianna Sprig with a little copper heart added and the sentiment came from a Memory Box set in a magazine.

Thanks for dropping by.  Stay safe and big hugz to everyone.

Driving Home For Christmas

Hello Nomad friends.  Hope you are having an awesome July.  I'm over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with a Christmas In July idea I had for Carmen's Veranda Old Truck and Lost Coast Designs Gnomes.  Unfortunately the original gnomes were too big, but now Linda is releasing mini versions and they fit perfectly.  Let's get merry......

I stamped Old Truck, the Mini Gnomes and part of Megan's Christmas Bird, coloured with watercolour pencils and fussy cut.  For the background I stamped Lost Coast Designs Trees in black, a yellow circle and gave the rest a blue watercolour wash.  

 

 

I put the baubles around the back of the truck and added mini Silly Gnome to the truck bed.  I did a bit of snipping and managed to get mini Pompom Gnome in the driving seat LOL.  I cut around the trees leaving a wide border at the bottom to be a snowy road, added the truck and stamped the Party Words Merry Christmas.

 

 

Don't forget to join the Christmas in July fun and link up your stamped Christmas makes for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars.

Sea Lion

Hello Nomad friends.  I seem to have misplaced a week!!  But seriously, who has summer??  It very unsettled here.  I need some sun to get my energy levels singing.  Please send.  

Best use of desk scraps.....   Made a background the other day and had this bit left over.  Decided to turn it into a Sea Lion scene.  

It's a distress oxide/distress ink smoochy background with added glitter.  I ripped a scrap of yellow paper to make the sand bars.  Harrison sizzix colourise die was cut from lots of brown scrap with a touch of black and pink.  The sentiment was sent to me by a friend.

I'd sail away with him.  He's so hansome!

Say What

Hello Nomad friends.  I love a nice sale.  I often practice delayed gratification.  Jo, I can hear you laughing.  But sometimes you just gotta grab those new releases.  Waffle Flower has been all over the place with their postage series, and well done the little company for coming up with such a winner.  Then they came out with the seagulls and I couldn't resist.  The way they sold out lots of other people were in agreement.  So here's his first outing.  Expect more seagull scenes soon........

 Used lots of dies and scraps on this one.  Photobomb seagull!!!!

Hope this makes you smile.

Say It Big

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy 4th July!!!
And it's Christmas in July at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.

It's nice to make a few cards at a time and the heat of summer is the perfect time to think snowflakes and ice.  Especially if it's in a long drink LOL.  

No snowflakes or ice on this one, just an elf and a little red, white and blue.

I stamped Lost Coast Designs Flagstone Background with Ice Blue ink and realised I really need to clean my stamps sometimes.  But it's quite a nice shade of uh, rose?? so I stamped the large Rectangle Shadow Frame with Carnation Red archival.  I'd stamped, coloured and fussy cut this little Carmen's Veranda Elf and decided all it needed was a big sentiment.  License Plate Alphabet to the rescue.....
