I Say I Say I Say

Hello Nomad friends.  Gosh, March!!   Month of the mad March hares and all things FUNNY!!!  Over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity we want you to share your FUNNY stamped anythings.  No digi nonsense now.   Real rubber or clear stamping must be the feature of your hilariousness.  

I've made a bottle tag using Carmen's Veranda Kukla and Bottom of Wine Bottle sentiment.  I feel my childhood may have been more fun if Kukla and Ollie had been a part of it, but I think they were on the wrong side of the pond for me.

This little dude just makes me smile and with so many fun sentiments over at Carmen's Veranda it's easy to bring a smile along with the bottle.  I used an Avery Elle bottle tag die and splashed around the edge with various distress oxide inks.  I stamped Kukla on a separate piece of white card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut.  The sentiment was stamped directly on the tag.  

Don't forget to hop over to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity for more fun and amazing art from the team.  We share all month, every month and we would love for you to visit and leave a little love and an entry or two in our linky.  We need at least 20 entries to award a real stamp prize.  See you there....

Gin Gin

Hello Nomad friends.  Since I had the bottle tag die out I decided to make another one using the last Funky Fossil papercraft kit, which was all about drinkies and retro.

I cut the Avery Elle bottle tag from purple card and stencilled with Funky Fossil Grafitti stencil.  I used a YNS die to cut the holes and stitched with some embroidery thread.  I stamped the gin glass on white card, cut with the matching die and added some distress marker colour.  The sentiment is a printed sticker from the sheets that came with the FF set and a printed heart to finish.

Queen Puffin

Hello Nomad friends.  Archiscraps want crowns.  Now that was a stretch.  Then I stumbled across this puffin from Crafty Individuals, stamped on some blue embossed dot paper and fussy cut.  Perfect!!!

 

I used my Avery Elle bottle tag die to cut some polka dot card, stamped Carmen's Veranda Queen of Everything sentiment, added a ripped scrap, the puffin and a couple of hearts.  Done!!

Power Cut Makes

Hello Nomad friends.  The power was out today for essential maintenance so I did a little colouring.  I used a lovely stamp from PowerPoppy from the Short Stacks set and made a bottle tag.

I used an Avery Elle die to cut the bottle tag.  I stamped the Power Poppy Short Stacks best book ever image and the happy birthday sentiment and coloured with distress inks and my water brush.

Crazy Flower Bottle Tag

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy Thursday!!!  I hope it has been productive.  Mine's been a bit up and down, including saving the cat from a small horse that took big exception to her, and from another cat who just wanted to beat her up.  She tends to follow me around, more dog like than cat, and sometimes we wander places other animals feel are their space.  I am but ooman!!!!!  She's safely curled up on the couch so no harm done me thinks.  But after all the animal drama I did manage to make a bottle tag...

I used an Avery Elle die for the tag and stamped with Rubber Dance Crazy Flower stamps.  I coloured the flowers with Promarkers and gave the background a watercolour wash. 

If you are making anything using Rubber Dance stamps you can add it to the album in the fb group for a chance to win a voucher to the shop.

Drinkees

Hello Nomad friends.  The last of the month and so much to do.  Starting with a little celebration number in yellow and blue.

I used an ancient tri fold aperture card in yellow.  I used Stamplortaions Circles All Over Texture Cover plate and some pale blue card for the background.  Awesome pierced design!!!  Avery Elle Sip Sip Hooray sentiment and glasses, cut with the matching die.  I coloured the glasses with distress markers and stamped the tiny bubbles with dandelion archival ink.

Champagne Bottle Tag

Hello Nomad friends.  Yesterday's happy mail contained some Tonic Studio Dimensions Kaleidoscope Decorative Inserts.  I used the Lets Celebrate one here and combined it with Avery Elle Bottle Tag die.

I used blue for the tag base and cut the large Lets Celebrate die from yellow paper.  For a change I remembered to put double sided tape on it which made it much easier to glue it to the tag.  Then I found some scraps of very pale yellow, petrol blue and black, die cut them and paper pieced back into the tag.  The label in the middle looks black but it is actually a piece of gold mirror card.

Toothy Smile

Hello Nomad friends.  Are we having fun yet???  I am bwahahhhhahahaaa.

I used Avery Elle stamps and dies and Brutus Monroe Folkwave stencil.  I cut the Sip Sip Hooray wine bottle hanger from blue card and blended salty ocean distress ink through the stencil.  Then I bumped the stencil so I could highlight above the large arch shapes with a white gel pen.   I stamped the shark on some grey pearly card and cut with the matching die.  I used a white gel pen on the eyes and teeth.  Then I cut out the inside of the mouth and backed it with a scrap of red card.  I stamped the thank you from the Sip Sip Hooray set using black archival.
