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!!

Happy Doll

Hello Nomad friends.  It's been a busy sort of a day.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with some more inspiration for Black and White Plus One Challenge.   I decided to go yellow, cos it's a happy colour and I don't use it enough.

This Lost Coast Designs Oriental Doll stamp always makes me think happy.  I started by stamping Lost Coast Designs Pondscum Background on dark yellow card with black ink.  Then I stamped Oriental Doll with black ink on yellow and white card.  I cut round the yellow doll image removing the chequered border and mounted it on the white version.  I stamped the sentiment from Lost Coast Designs Party Words on white card and mounted on a piece of black.  I added the doll and the sentiment to the stamped background and done!!! 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my happy oriental doll card.  You have all month to join the fun at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with your stamped makes using black and white plus one other colour.

We need at least 20 entries to award the prize.

Breakfast Chocolate

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some inspiration for the Black and White Plus One Challenge.  I really hope you have a chance to join the fun.  I think this will be a super pretty gallery, and if we get over 20 entries one of you will win a real stamp prize!

Today I have used Carmen's Veranda Kukla and made a simple mixed media card.  This little clown is a favourite of mine.

 

 

I die cut a thin piece of corrugated card from a box with a Simon Says Stamp stitch die.  Love how the corrugated card gets compacted and makes a robust but light panel.  I ripped a piece of A4 white paper and used the two ripped edges to form a mask before stamping Lost Coast Designs Flagstone Background with brown ink.  I found a piece of tree bark, dampened it with a bit of water and pressed it in my die cut machine to flatten it.  When it dried I added it and a small piece of brown die cut card to my stamped panel.  Then I stamped Kukla on white card with black ink, fussy cut him and added him to the card.  To finish I stamped the Carmen's Veranda Not Just For Breakfast sentiment.

Starry Starry Bauble

 Hello Nomad friends.  I am a little behind on my xmas card schedule after making none last month, so after tripping over this wooden bauble decoration yet again on my desk I decided it was time to get it used. 

I paired it with a piece of blue card that I had cleaned my brush after using Aztec paint, so it's got some nice pearlescent brushstrokes on it.  I couldn't make up my mind about the bauble hanger dings and in the end cut a star from card and added a Papirdesigns text button.
