Feeling Blessed

Hello Nomad friends.  Today the postal service was good for me!!   I got a card from my Card Chain Challenge friend Tina in Slovenia, a lovely package of goodies I won at the Snippets Playground, and a huge pack of goodies from my lovely friend Mia in Greece.  I felt the love and am so grateful for all my worldwide friends.  HUGZ

One of the things included in my package from Mia was a beautiful postcard with a lovely message on the back.  I was immediately inspired and have made an autumnal card.

I am impressed with myself that I was able to rip up this lovely postcard because I do have a box of collected postcards.  But I think it made a lovely bit of collage art.  I edged my base card with yellow distress ink and used a panel of white card and finger painted with water and distress inks to get my background. I did some off block stamping with a lavinia stamp to get the foliage and ripped around the edges and images on the postcard.  I added some spellbinder leaves die cut from gold mirror card and some sticker words from Papirdesign which say Harmony, Passion and Friendship.

Here's a pic of all the goodies Mia sent me as part of her name day celebration.  I am already working on ideas for a few more of these things Mia.  Thanks so much.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

I love this cute little ghost!!  He comes from Poppystamps Halloween Assemblage.  The background is Poppystamps Leafy Branch Oval which I backed with a piece of paper painted with copper aztec paint.  To finish I added a couple of fun sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Pick Your Poison stamp set.

Big Whittle Deer

Hello Nomad friends.  Here's a simple xmas card I made using Poppystamp dies.

I used Poppystamps Stepped Deco Frame and embossed a piece of heavy white card with it for the background panel.  I cut Poppystamps Grand Whittle Reindeer from brown and white bazzill and the sentiment is memory box greeting tab preprinted chunky card.

Fabulous Fall

Hello Nomad friends.  The month is galloping along at quite a clip and all the autumn jobs are keeping me busy.  Garden time when weather permits and inside trying to get control of my organised chaos when it gets too gloomy outside.  The nights are getting noticeably shorter and the mind turns to warm autumn colours and doing things I have been a bit slow at getting done.  Procrastination is my middle name!

 Those colours do make you fell warm and cosy don't they!!  

I used a leafy patterned paper from Michaels Stores and added a black die cut ballerina from Memory Box called Lady Dancing.  The leaves are Memory Box Gypsy Oak Leaves cut from copper mirri card.

Trick or Tequilla

Hello Nomad friends.  Hope you are having a splendiferous day.  I would like to thank Jo for sending me this awesomely fun stamp set by Whimsy Stamps called Pick Your Poison.  I just had to make a bottle tag with it.......

 

 I cut the bottle tag using a Papirdesigns die from card I had blended Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint and Blueprint Sketch distress ink on.  I returned the circle outcut to act as the moon.  I stamped the spooky dudes on white card, coloured with distress markers, fussy cut and added them to the bottom of the tag.  To finish I stamped the little spider and two of the fun sentiments.

Snippets Deer Snippets

Hello Nomad friends.  I was desk diving and found a few blue bits lying close together that seemed to be made for each other.  The gloss white card base was a bad idea for a number of reasons, but I loved arranging these random bits into a fun geometric design.

 I used an acrylic block wrapped with string to stamp my subtle blue lines on the base card with distress ink.  I arranged three triangle snippets, a die cut circle, a tiny spiral and a white snowflake chopped in two.  Then I cut the elizabeth craft deer and added a Papirdesigns chipboard button.  Merry Christmas!!
