Relax

Hello Nomad friends.  Motivation seems to be on holiday this month, but I always work well to a deadline so hoping for a flurry of creativity as the month draws to a close.  New stash always makes Mr Mojo sit up and take notice and I managed to grab this lovely Carabelle Studios stamp of a girl on the beach and it seemed a good place to start.

Managed to use lots of scraps for the sea, circles and bits I stamped the girl on.  The embossing folder is sizzix.

Thought I'd use the last two stamps on the inside and continued the circle theme.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Only Sometimes

Hello Nomad friends.  I'm over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some inspiration for the colour challenge.   Have you seen all the wonderful colour inspiration on the blog this month??  Two beautiful colour schemes to choose from and today I went with Terracotta and Turquoise.

I started with a pale turquoise patterned card panel and randomly stamped Lost Coast Designs large circle Shadow Frame with salty ocean distress ink.  I egded the panel with the same ink.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Pokey Cat on the card panel and then on white card using archival sepia ink.  I water coloured the cat with rusty hinge distress ink and blue gel pen and fussy cut.  The sentiment is Carmen's Veranda Ask For Directions sentiment. 

 

Join the colour challenge fun.  Link up your stamped anythings featuring the colours LEMON AND LIME or TERRACOTTA AND TURQUOISE.

Just Citrus

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some more Lemon and Lime inspiration.  This month we are asking you to pick a colour scheme between Lemon and Lime or Turquoise and Terracotta.   The choice is yours!  Your anything should feature mostly your two chosen colours and don't forget to stamp.

I've kept it simple and used the lovely Jester Square by Carmen's Veranda coloured with green and yellow distress watercolouring.  I stamped the Happy Birthday and Do I smell cake? from Lost Coast Designs Party Words using Prickly Pear archival ink.

 

 

 

Grab your stamps and pick your colour scheme and join the fun.   We give a real rubber stamp prize to our randomly picked winner, but we do need at least 20 entries to award the prize, so tell your friends and get stamping!!

Old Yellow

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today.  This month it's all about colours with a choice of two colour schemes to choose from.  I've gone all Lemon and Lime and used this beautiful Old Truck stamp from Carmen's Veranda. 

The background stamp is Carmen's Veranda Cracked Mirror.  I used green ink for stamping and distress inks for water colouring.  The sentiment is from Lost Coast Designs Travel Quotes set.

Chicken In Paris

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  21 awesome artists took part in the May exchange including a new player, Wendy in Ireland.  So nice to have new friends to send snail mail to.  

I sent my card to Dagmara in Poland this month and went with the options of Chickens and Smiles and Laughter. 

 I embossed the kraft background with sizzix paris folder and grunged it up with old paper distress ink.  I stamped the Hobby Art chicken, fussy cut and added him to the card.  The sentiment is from Carmen's Veranda, which is my go to for funny words!

 

 Do hop over and check out all the awesome cards in the REVEAL
