Art Angel Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Hello Nomad friends.  The 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal.  This month my card went winging it's way off to Mia in Greece.  Despite postal deliveries getting better the last few month it seems Greece is still a bit of a sticky spot.  Mia's cards travel outward OK, but she seems to wait so long for her happy mail.  Do hop over and check her post.  She is sharing the awesome card she sent this month and also two others that have finally arrived, after many months swanning around Europe!!!  Oh, the stories they could tell.......

Anyway, here's the card I sent to Mia, and it also fits the new theme at Lost Coast Designs, which is Art Doll and Divas, so it's popping up there today as well LOL. 

I used Lost Coast Designs Christmas Angel with Halo and used the faux stained glass technique, stamping on acetate and colouring with sharpies.  I used a fancy die to cut the frame and used the October sketch for my layout.   The sentiment is a Carmen's Veranda stamp. 

 

Here's a close up of the faux stained glass panel.  I put a piece of silver glitter card behind to make it sparkly!

Hop over to the REVEAL and admire all the awesome art

If you would like to join the fun and send/get happy mail you can SIGN UP.  It makes my day when that envelope drops in my mail box every month.

Just Breathe

Hello Nomad friends.  Last night I hosted my annual Harvest/Thanksgiving party, also known as my Pumpkin Party.  I decorated the room in a suitable fashion, made lamb curry, rice and nam breads for 22 people and received the gift of much cake from friends and family.  We ate and partied til the cows came home, slept, got milked and went out to pasture again!!  OK, maybe not quite that long, but it was fun.  I feel blessed, and slightly exhausted!!!  There was also a digi meeting being hosted by Hobbylageret this weekend, so I buckled down this afternoon and made some makes.  I am not usually a fast crafter, but I tried.   

 I made an A5 AJ page.  Used distress oxides and stamps from Rubber Dance for the background.  Then I used a Panduro stencil and Black Soot distress and lightly stencilled the girl.  

The words are also stencilled using TH Christmas Words stencil.

And a CAS Christmas card I made for a very good friend of ours who loves cars.

I used Christmas Ephemera 1 from Stamplorations and a stamped sentiment from Kort og Godt.  Gotta love a bit of CAS.

Black and White and Christmas Tree

Hello Nomad friends.  A couple of challenge prompts inspired this card.  Also gave me a chance to test drive these Creative Expression fancy rectangle dies.  I will probably do something different next time cos I think I may have a little off true cut, but the tree helps hide my wonky layers LOL.  

I used a black card base and cut the white layer with Creative Expressions Indian Ocean Background dies.  The tree is Memory Box cut from green card, embossed and highlighted with green ink.  Then I stamped the Papirdesign christmas greeting with green ink.

Looking for Cake

Hello Nomad friends!  Halloweeny is coming!!!!  I have this scary dude for you today.  Lost Coast Designs Taurus is wandering around his labyrinth.  I have paired him with this background and sentiment previously, but they suit him so well!!!  

I stamped Lost Coast Designs Taurus, masked him and stamped Lost Coast Designs Fourth Dimension Background with red archival ink.  I did a bit of wiggly cutting each side of the panel, edged it heavily with black ink and mounted on a red card base.  Then I stamped the Carmen's Veranda sentiment, chopped it up and added it to my card.  There he is, ready to cause chaos, or maybe just steal the cake if you let him!!

Rumbled

Hello Nomad friends.  Today I have the sequel to yesterday's naughty feline antics!! The witch is back and cat's been rumbled!  Or maybe he's is just wary cos the flying monkeys haven't been locked away yet......

I used the new Lost Coast Designs Gnome Witch on a Broom stamped and coloured with distress markers.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Yoga Cat 4 and gave him a pale grey watercolour wash.  I masked the witch and the cat and stamped part of Carmen's Veranda Flying Monkey Background.  Then a little simple distress ink blending to complete the scene.  Run cat, run!!!
