It's Gonna Get In Your Head

Hello Nomad friends.  Me again with a few more makes from today's megathon.  Like a marathon, only bigger, and less running.   One challenge was to use a background stamp.  Well, my mind immediately went to one of my most favourites stamps....... Shooting Star Background by Lost Coast Designs.

I simply stamped it with Carnation archival on white card, edged with red and mounted on a cream card base also edged with red.  Then I added a little fishtail happy birthday banner.  This stamp always makes me think of The NeverEnding Story, did you just sing that?????   This card will be perfect for Lost Coast Designs Movie Mania challenge!

I also used another background stamp for this simple christmas card.  Another favourite of mine, Hero Arts Splendid Snowflakes

I seem to be in quite a monochrome mood at the moment.  I smeared the hammered card base with Salty Ocean distress oxide ink, added the snowflake stamped panel and the sentiment.

And my final make today.........

I used Rubber Dance heart stamp with grey archival, watercoloured with Worn Lipstick distress ink and cut the panel with a stitch rectangle die.  I stamped Penny Black Cat on white card, coloured the hearts with red sharpies and fussy cut.  Ta dah, love.....

Allsorts In memory of Kath: Next weeks challenge would have been hosted by Kath and in her usual organised fashion she had selected her theme months ago. We are still having that theme but with a slight amendment to celebrate her style of crafting with some special prizes. So we hope lots of you will join us on 11th September for 'A Challenge for Kath'.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Three lovely cards Gail, I keep returning to the first as every time I look at it I see something differed within the pattern, I see the starts but also a flower and lovely bird with a flowing tail....or is that just me?
