Breakfast Chocolate

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some inspiration for the Black and White Plus One Challenge.  I really hope you have a chance to join the fun.  I think this will be a super pretty gallery, and if we get over 20 entries one of you will win a real stamp prize!

Today I have used Carmen's Veranda Kukla and made a simple mixed media card.  This little clown is a favourite of mine.

 

 

I die cut a thin piece of corrugated card from a box with a Simon Says Stamp stitch die.  Love how the corrugated card gets compacted and makes a robust but light panel.  I ripped a piece of A4 white paper and used the two ripped edges to form a mask before stamping Lost Coast Designs Flagstone Background with brown ink.  I found a piece of tree bark, dampened it with a bit of water and pressed it in my die cut machine to flatten it.  When it dried I added it and a small piece of brown die cut card to my stamped panel.  Then I stamped Kukla on white card with black ink, fussy cut him and added him to the card.  To finish I stamped the Carmen's Veranda Not Just For Breakfast sentiment.

 

 

 

You have all month to join the fun with your stamped makes using black and white plus one other colour.

We need at least 20 entries to award the prize.

Don't forget to pop over to the blog and see more awesome inspiration from the team.

Someone Ate All The Chocolate

Hello Nomad friends.  I have made a cute little chocolate gift holder following directions from Hobbykunst Day 3.  Unfortunately you will just have to imagine the chocolate cos I am totally out of twix, which me feels may have fitted two to a side, and someone has run off with all the kwik lunsj!!!   Possibly those two little singing santa's who were at the door earlier today!!!!!

Still with the Lexi Design Christmas Loft patterned papers and also used Poppystamps Grand Whittle Reindeer and Brilliant Star Oval dies.  

It's the same front and back, and I really must remedy the sad chocolate situation tomorrow!!!

Strangely Bizarre

Hello Nomad friends.  How are you doing??   Today I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with some inspiration for the Inchie Twinchie Domino Challenge.  I had a look through my stamps for some that would fit on dominos (2" x 1") and found this set of Lost Coast Designs Mini Ancient stamps.  Two were a bit small, two were a bit wide, but I trimmed them, and two were perfect!  Then, after advising two friend this evening that chocolate is the answer, it got a little bit quirky...

I stamped the Lost Coast Designs Mini Ancients using brown archival ink, cut them to size and inked the edges with the same brown ink.  My background is Lost Coast Designs Bubbles Background stamped with Prickly Pear archival ink, then over stamped with Lost Coast Designs Drips and sepia archival ink.  I arranged my domino's on the drips and then stamped the Carmen's Veranda Breakfast Chocolate sentiment in brown archival ink.

 

 

For September 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.  Be brave, join the fun.  The team is sharing awesome projects all month so do pop over to check out all the amazing inspiration.
