Blue Bird of Happiness

Hello Nomad friends!!   It was national day in Norway at the weekend and much fun was had by all.   I like that this celebration has children in focus with as much ice cream and hotdogs as you can eat, and of course, CAKE!!   I am still working my way through the cake so do drop in if you are passing.....

Today I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with some inspiration for the No Body Here Challenge!  We want to see your stamped anythings, but no people allowed.  I went with a tag and the very wonderful Whimsical Flora.

I cut a tag with daisy mae cross stitch die and stamped Lost Coast Designs Long Swirl with red, pink and black archival inks.  Then I edged and grunged up the tag using the black ink pad. I stamped Whimsical Flora on white card, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut her.  I stamped the words using Lost Coast Designs Party Words and added them and some neon green wool to finish and give me a whole rainbow of colours.

 

 

 

Grab your stamps and join the fun!!  You have all month to share your stamped anythings featuring anything EXCEPT PEOPLE!!  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project and we need at least 20 entries to award the prize.

 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Chickin Away

Hello Nomad friends.  I'm here with some bird inspired inspiration for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity No Body Here challenge.   We want you to leave your people at home and show us anything but humanoids on your stamped anythings.  I went with Carmen's Veranda Duck and that lovely checkered swirl from Lost Coast Designs.   I think it's gonna be well used......

Gotta love a cute duck!!!   I stamped the swirl on a piece of white card, fussy cut a bit of the edge and then used a Funky Fossil tag die to cut the rest of the tag.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Duck on a piece of yellow card,added some promarker colour to beak and feet and fussy cut.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Party Words and then added duck and a little snowball wool.

If you have a moment do hop over to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and check out all the amazing art and free tutorials from my awesome team mates.  Join the challenge for a chance to win a real rubber stamp prize.  Hope to see you there.

Chick Spam

Hello Nomad friends.  It seems spring is here, sort of, almost.  The hens are clucking and the chicks are peeping.  Here's a bird, enjoying the sun.

I used Memory Box Shine stencil for the background panel and Memory Box Garden Wren and some dotted bazzill for the bird.  The nest is also a memory box die and a little heart to finish.

Scrap Bunny

Hello Nomad friends.  2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal.  My card whizzed it's way to Kathy in the UK this month.  I went with the long ears option, no surprize there then, and happy hour!!   Oh, no, happy hour wasn't an option bwahahhaaaaa.   May I creep in with a fancy edge???  Ah well, only one option is required and friendship is always on the table. 

I used lots of scraps for this one.  Die cut bits that were lurking in my desk box.  For the background I used some string block stamping and then some ink pad stamping with distress ink.  I arranges all the fun die cut elements and then found a sizzix bunny die, which I cut from a scrap of grey card and added some promarker colour.  The sentiment is from a sheet from Funky Fossil.

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

Bright Like a Diamond

Hello Nomad friends.  The end of the month is nigh.........  Did a sneaky bit of seed sowing this evening so I could tell myself I got them in in April bwahaahahahaaaaa.  Ah well, it has been a lovely day and a glorious evening.  And I did manage to get to the craft room and do some last of the month things.

Opps, sorry, should have given you a bright alert!!  This looks kinda hectic, but basically it's the Kort og Godt wiggly circle die put together as many layers, with a Honey Bee sunburst die cut in yellow and a spellbinders flower in a pot.  Then I added a Papirdesigns birthday greeting and some negative bits from last nights buckles cos a gold glitter diamond or 9 is hard to put in the bin.
