Melon Boxes Without Topses

Hello Nomad friends.  I made this.  

Memory Box have a black, white and orange challenge so I decided to use this lovely Memory Box Lady Dancing die and pair it with Hopmeadow Circle and a couple of stitched circle dies to make this pretty tag.  I embossed the lady's dress using Memory Box Grand Galaxy embossing folder.

Welcome to the Crypt

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today for Day 10 of our 31 Days of Halloween extravaganza.  Today I have created a scene.

 

I used Lost Coast Designs Cartoon Racoon, Large Tigger Shrine and Large Shrubbery Background with Carmen's Veranda When Witches Go Riding sentiment.  I made the background by stamping the Tigger Shrine with grey ink, masking and stamping Shrubbery Background both sides with black ink.  I gave the background a watercolour wash with blue and mauve distress inks.  Then I stamped the top of the goth shrine, fussy cut it and added it to the Tigger Shrine. I stamped the new Cartoon Racoon, coloured with distress markers and gel pens and fussy cut him.  I added him to the stamped panel and to finish stamped the last line of the Witches Go Riding sentiment on the lintel.

Driving in my Car

Hello Nomad friends.  How's it going???   Decidedly autumnal here.  Missing crisp and moved right into soggy and cold.  Definitely stodgy pudding and cosy food weather.  

I decided to make a tag for a learner driver.  Don't know why.  Maybe I just wanted to test drive this fun car die from Papirdesigns that I hadn't tried yet.

 I used a Simple and Basic tag die and a piece of watercolour paper sprinkled with brusho's and spritzed with water.  I die cut a couple of clouds and the Good Luck is a Kort og Godt stamp.  I cut the car using the Boblebil die from black card and blue patterned card and added some promarker colour.  I cut a white square, edged it in red pen and added a red die cut L.

Eyes Like Dark Pools of Dark

Hello Nomad friends.  I love October!!  The days are cooler, the nights are chilly, the leaves are falling and it's full of bootastic makes and challenges.  Over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity it's Day 8 of our 31 Days of Halloween extravaganza and today was a happy mail day when some of the brand new stamps from Lost Coast Designs dropped into the mail box.  Have you spotted them??   They are gorgeous and I couldn't wait to ink up Cartoon Man and made him spooky!!! 

 

Here he is, out in the woods.  I used Lost Coast Designs Tall Trees Background stamped on a white panel.  Then I stamped ATC Perspective on a scrap of brown card with grey ink and fussy cut it.  I used a circle of stamp cushion to stamp the yellow sun/moon using archival ink.  I stamped Cartoon Man and the head of the large Dancing Skeleton on scraps of white card and fussy cut them.  I coloured the man with distress markers and used a marker to colour in his eyes black and add a tiny dot of white gel pen.

Pumpkin Party

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the most spooktacular month of the year and over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity it's our annual 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  The team is posting every day this month with suitable inspiration for the bootastic October, and we hope you will join the fun. Today I used Lost Coast Designs Fat Cat and dressed him up in his autumn best!!

Love this cat stamp.  He has attitude!!!   I gave him a pumpkin jumper.  
The white panel has blended and smooched with Peeled Pint distress ink, and then I stamped Carmen's Veranda Flying Monkey Background with black archival ink, and added a little colour to the non-silhouette monkey.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Fat Cat directly on the panel and also on a piece of white card.  I coloured the cat, fussy cut and added him to the card.  I die cut the jack o'lantern pieces using a poppystamp die, stuck them on his jumper and done!!

Spooktacular October

Hello Nomad friends.  It's warm, it's windy.  Perfect day to blow away the cobwebs, or maybe blow them in cos it's SPOOKTACULAR OCTOBER!!!!!!  It's also the second of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge September Reveal.  This month I received a beautiful card from Tina in Slovenia and mine waddled it's way to Gundi in Germany.

I went with the Great Outdoors option and added a little lady of mystery courtesy of Sweetpea stamps.  The foliage background is a Lost Coast Designs rubber stamp and I used distress ink for the moon and watercolour wash background.   I coloured the lady with sharpies.

If you would like to see all the amazing card that winged their way around the planet for August check out the REVEAL POST.
