Golden Leaves

Hello Nomad friends.  I've made a simple sort of card today with Poppystamp dies.

I die cut from the same card as the base for a faux embossing look, but couldn't resist adding a touch of sunflower archival ink.  I used Poppystamps Harvest Oval Frame, Playful Hugs and the large butterfly is Intricate Cut Butterflies, cut from some pinkish card.  I added a yellow satin ribbon, cos September is Children Cancer month, and a tiny Cheery Lynn cut butterfly on top.  

I hope you are having a wonderful day.  If not, have a hug from me.  Well, have a hug anyway.  We all need hugs, no matter how the day is going.

Thanks for dropping by.  HUGZ

Game On

Hello Nomad friends.  I have my first inspiration piece today for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Inchie Twinchie Domino Challenge.  We want to see your stamped makes featuring Inchies (1" x 1"), Twinchies (2" x 2"), and/or Dominos (2" x 1")  You can make said Inchies, Twinchies or Dominos with real rubber or clear stamping, or you can incorporate these sizes into your project in another way, perhaps chop up your background, or your foreground, cut windows, or maybe make a three dimensional shape, or a tiny album.  The possibilities are endless....... 

I decided to chop up my background into bits and piece it back together.

I stamped Carmen's Veranda Dice Background using yellow ink on white card and then chopped it into 1" x 1", 2" x 2" and 2" x 1" pieces.  I arranged the inchie, twinchie and domino size pieces onto a black card square and then added a yellow mat behind.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Alfred Hitchcock Standing on white card with black ink, fussy cut him and added him to the card.  To finish I stamped Lost Coast Designs Happy Birthday on one of the domino pieces. 

 

 

The team is sharing awesome projects all month so do pop over to the blog to check out all the amazing inspiration.

Steampunk Pussy

Hello Nomad friends.   It's the second of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  Make a card, send a card, get a card.  Everyone gets a card.  Everyone is a winner!!!   Sending love around the world one card at a time.  This month I sent to Robyn in Australia.

I used the options of paint and friendship.  I embossed the white panel and then brayered aztec copper paint onto the texture.  I stamped the Funky Fossil Steampunk cat, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut her.  I used Marianne Designs Postage die on the painty panel.  The sentiment is a favourite from Craft Individuals and I added a few die cut cogs to finish.

 You can see the complete REVEAL HERE

There is still time to SIGN UP for September
