Yeah Yeah Yeah

Hello Nomad friends.  I have been working on this one for a few days and this evening it all fell into place.  I was inspired by Duffy's song Mercy.  That's me, a big fat bunny boogieing on down....

I made a splatty background with Colourcraft Aztec paints on yellow card.  I used a couple of star frame die cuts and coloured with yellow and peach to match my colour scheme.  Then I grabbed a bag of blue scraps and die cut the Alexandra Renke frames and the Simon Says Stamp tag and heart.  The bunny is by Uniko, stamped on a scrap of floral paper and fussy cut.  The sentiment is a Creative Expressions stamp set.   I had a little wobble with the sentiment, but then you would, wouldn't you, stamping to the beat bwahahahahahaa.

Spring Wedding

Hello Nomad friends.  For some reason I have been wanting to make wedding cards the last few days.  Here's the first one I've completed using Unity Couples stamps.  

 

The plain cardstock is Bazzill, two linen texture and the dark green is a hammered type card.  I also used some scraps of card with yellow flowers on it for the sentiment banner, heart and patterned side panel. The couple were stamped on scraps of white card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut. The heart is a Simon Says Stamp die and the banner was cut with some fishtail dies which have a lovely fine pierced edge detail.  I don't know the maker but I do love the chance to use them.

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!!
