Love From Salvador

Hello Nomad friends.  The first February challenge over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is Love and Hearts.  I made a card using Lost Coast Designs ATC Doodle Heart with Carmen's Veranda Salvador Dali and Nights Into Mornings sentiment. 

I love Carmen's Veranda famous people stamps.  I stamped Salvador Dali and masked him.  I stamped the doodle heart with red ink and the sentiment with black ink.  Then I went a little swipe mad with my black archival ink pad and grunged it up.  To finish I used a blending brush to add some pink to the heart.

Happy New Year from Everyone

Hello Nomad friends.  I hope your 2023 is progressing nicely.  My craft room looks even more bombed than usual but I am determined to beat it into submission and dig out my creativity.  With that and the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Slimline Challenge in mind I decided to look through my stamps and select a few favourites to use.   Turns out I have way too many favourites, but after some deliberation, and a bit of push and shove, I became happy with this.

 

For this card I used lots of stamps, lots of masks and blue and black archival ink.  We have Lost Coast Designs ZZ Top Gnome 2 and Carmen's Veranda Monkey with a Banjo supplying the music, direction and artistic appreciation by Carmen's Veranda Alfred Hitchcock Standing and Salvador Dali, entertainment by Carmen's Veranda Kukla and Ollie, Lost Coast Designs Doodle Doll is supplying an element of mystery and the celebratory fly-by is courtesy of Lost Coast Designs Flying Pig.  I used a couple of the stamps from Lost Coast Designs Pieces of Calligraphy to fill in the empty spaces.

 

If you are stamping anything with real rubber or clear stamps and it's in a slimline format then maybe you might want to join the fun.   The team are posting awesome inspiration every other day so do hop over and check out their makes.

Surreally Salvador

Hello Nomad friends.  I'm back with some surreally silly inspiration for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Things Beginning with S Challenge.  The team have been having some serious stamping fun with this theme.  Do hop over and check out all their awesome makes and join us.  I'd love to see your project in the gallery and we send our real rubber stamp prizes all over the world.

Today I used Carmen's Veranda Salvador Dali and some Lost Coast Designs Steampunk Fish and had some fun.  

 

I stamped Salvador, masked him, then stamped the line of fish, masking between each impression.  I stamped the script stamp from Lost Coast Designs Piece of Calligraphy with Sepia archival ink and smeared the card and edges with the same ink.  I used Tea Dye distress to give a watercolour wash to the background and finally stamped the Do I Smell Cake? sentiment.   Fish cakes maybe Salvador LOL.

 

You can submit your entries to the linky party by 23.59PST on the 14th.  Why not take a few minutes to hop over and check out the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity blog.

Take care.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Coffee with Dali

Hello Nomad friends.  I have a project over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today for The Man Cave challenge.  I put Salvador Dali's mug on a mug!!!!!

I've given it an autumnal feel with archival inks in shades of yellow, orange and red and used a piece of weetabix box to make the cup which I cut with Stamplorations cup die.   I stamped Lost Coast Designs Leaves Background in the background and also on the cup after I had stamped and masked Carmen's Veranda Salvador Dali stamp.  The travel and wanderlust words stamped randomly on the leaves background and the sentiment all come from Lost Coast Designs Travel Quotes set.  

'Try everything once then try it again somewhere else'

Sounds like a plan to me.......

A Collage of Blokes and Black Friday Deals

Hello Nomad friends.  I am back from my annual trip to the old country and I think Mr Mojo is still in the holiday mood cos it was a bit of a slow start with this project.  I knew I wanted to use Carmen's Veranda Salvador Dali stamp, and that gave me the idea to go bit crazy.  So I just grabbed a whole slew of stamps and made a masculine themed collage.

Crazy eh???  I used Carmen's Veranda Salvador Dali and Hourglass stamp and Lost Cost Designs Weeping Man, chief from Mayan Heiroglphs, Mayan Stele and Magic stamps.  I coloured with Promarkers and Brusho powder's in water.
 Hop over to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity for all the details.   

The Lost Coast Designs For The Men challenge closes at midnight tonight PST so hop over and link up your masculine inspired stamped makes.

I'd also like to mention some Black Friday weekend/week deals from companies close to my heart.  Click on the pictures to be magically transported to stamp heaven LOL.
