HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy New Year Nomad friends.  I hope you have had an wonderful festive season and New Year celebration.  Here's hoping for an awesome 2022.  

I am kicking of my 2022 blogging with a card for the start of the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity challenge Let's Fly!  Shared your stamped anythings featuring things that fly.  I chose Lost Coast Designs Gryphon and perched him on an own made column.

I made a simple background by sprinkling various blue Brusho powders on a sheet of white card and spritzing with water and Windsor and Newton Iridescent Watercolour Medium, which gives a beautiful fine bling similar to Wink of Stellar pens.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Gryphon on some very pale lilac card and fussy cut.  I added gold tinsel gel pen to his claws and beak and a bit of red and green gel pen colour to his eye and tongue.  I stamped the 2022 using Lost Coast Designs License Plate Alphabet stamp set on the same pale lilac card.  Then I fussy cut it into a plinth shape, added some score lines and smeared it with grey archival ink.  Not too bad me thinks........  Then I just glued the column and Gryphon in place and mounted the panel on a navy blue slimline card base.


Link up your stamped anythings featuring things that fly to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity challenge for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars.  See you there!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
