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!!

That's More Like It

Hello.  Welcome.  I work very well to a deadline, usually right on it.  So a belated birthday card is definitely something to have in my stash.  

I went with the Repeat Impressions colours again.  Loving the blues and pinks.  Blue base card.  I stamped my panel with Repeat Impressions Tswana Pattern (thanks Patti J.) and Dare 2 B Artzy Midnight Blue ink and cut it with Stamplorations Crazy Double Stitched Rectangle die.  I stamped Crafty Individuals Party Puffin on pale purple patterned paper and fussy cut him.  Then I added the Stamplorations Oh Frap! die cut.  I cut it from blue card and used a thin black pen to outline the letters in a wonky sort of way and then mounted it on a piece of pink card and fussy cut a shadow.

Glitter Party

Hello.  Welcome.  Hope you are having a wonderful friday.  Any plans for the weekend?  We have been invited to a BBQ tomorrow.  Hope this hot, hot weather holds.  I am joining a few challenge with this ATC.  I've used Waffle Flower colours, and MFP wanted us to sponge our own stripes.  What fun

It's not the best picture!  I had a glitter glue moment.  It was a big moment!!  I used a yellow ATC and sponged Distress Cracked Pistachio using two post-it notes as masks.  Then I stamped and embossed Crafty Individuals Puffin on teal card and cut a sizzix Party from the same card.  I added some irridescent glitter glue to the sentiment and the puffin's beak and a few gold sequins.   Then I decided it needed a little more and covered the whole thing, sans Puffin, in the glitter glue.  Then I thought, 'how you gonna get a photo of all that blingyness now then??!!'

Purple Puffin And Lucky Ducky

Hello.  Welcome.  A special hi and hello to Carol.  So glad you have joined my happy following.  Hugz all round and a happy St Patrick's Day to you all.  

Over at Claudine's Altered Playing Card Challenge it's week 26.  Only one more week to go she says.  So I count my blank cards and there are 12!!!  Gulp.  Better get my clogs on.  Luckily I was really inspired by Claudine's cards this week.  She went all monochromatic.

I started by covering my cards with patterned paper

I used Tando Distorted Harlequin mask and Colorbox Irish ink on the green card.  I used STAMPlorations Bubble stencil and Colorbox Plumeria ink on the purple card

I used Crafty Individuals Puffin, stamped on purle patterned paper.  I added some purple glitter tape and cut the letters from self adhesive plastic using Sizzix Ida Lou alphabet.

Now, see, I was looking for Irish blessings, what with St Paddy's day and the green theme, and I came across this!!!  It seemed very amusing at the time!!  Maybe I should have picked something a little more traditional!   I used Crafty Individuals Jolly Duck, coloured with green watercolours and wink of stella.  I added a tiny green horseshoe to his hat, for luck.  He needs it if there's people going around with guns.  I'm going to join my lucky duck over at Unruly Paperarts RAQ - I Should Be So Lucky

So there they are, my monochrome birdie pair.
