Pink Hearts and Weird Ducks

Hello Nomad friends.  I have had a bit of a make-it weekend.  Despite an impromptu party last evening.  I just had to ink up this cool Carabelle Studio duck Jo sent me. 

I kept it simple with one of my favourite Carmen's Veranda sentiments.

And I also had a go at weaving a christmas heart shaped basket.  The jury is out but I like my bubble wrap stamped background.  And the soft pink glitter snowflakes.

Snowflakes Falling

Hello Nomad friends.  I finally finished a fancy fold card I started putting together a while ago.  Snowflakes were the answer.  

I die cut the snowflakes from silver glitter card.  The one in the middle I cut twice and stuck them back to back cos you can see the back of that one when the card is closed.

Going Batty

Hello Nomad friends.  Isn't it great when guests descend and a fun time is had by all.  Even got a game of scrabble in, although scrabble in Norwegian is still a bit of a reach for me.  I still have trouble with those weird letter combos.   Will just have to play more often bwahahaahahahah.  Anyway, the guests have staggered off into the windy night and I am going for a little midnight crafting.  What better at midnight than bats!!!

I've used Poppystamps Batty Triptych die and a white textured base card which I smeared with black ink.  I added a purple layer embossed with a swirly folder and smeared with black ink.  I found a couple of scraps of card painted with Aztec purple pearlescent paint and cut them into squares big enough for the batty squares, which I cut from black scraps.  I layered the batty positive and negative cuts on the painty squares and then arranged them on my embossed panel.

Hope you are having a great weekend.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Black Cats

Hello Nomad friends.  It's Day 19 of the 31 Days of Halloween at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and I'm keeping it simply spooky with Carmen's Veranda Witches Go Riding sentiment and Lost Coast Designs Cheshire Cat.  Cheshire Cat is also available now in a cute, tummy tickling ATC size.  

Well, when you are this adorable what more do you need.  Except maybe diamond studded teeth!  I stamped Cheshire Cat and Witches Go Riding sentiment on white card using Hero Arts black ink.  I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die, edged it with black ink, added another white layer and mounted on a black card base.  He's so happy to be out of his basket!!

Frank and Mummy Play Tic Tac Toe

Hello Nomad friends.  I love games, and Halloween, and Lost Coast Design stamps!  So I put em all together today for day 17 of the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  I've made a game!!!!!  And learnt that canary yellow is maybe not good staging for photographs.  Ah well....... here's my Mummy and Frank themed tic tac toe

Now I could repeat it all here but there's a step by step over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity so if you want to know it all hop over and check it out. 

 

I started with an MDF tic tac toe kit and used Lost Coast Designs Frank and Mummy on white shrink plastic for the little shrunken dudes.  I also stamped masses of different stamps from Lost Coast Designs directly onto the base board using midnight blue archival ink and masks.  Any gaps I filled in afterwards with sky blue archival ink and all the stamps from Pieces of Calligraphy and also stamped the X's and O's.  I added a few Flying Monkeys from Carmen's Veranda at the top and I used Lost Coast Designs Gargoyle, Witch Cat, Goth Shrine, MRaven1, MRaven2, Dancing Skeletons, Sugar Skull with Flower and White Nose Sugar Skull.  Then I glued the edge and divider pieces in place and glued the shrunken Mummy's and Franks in place.

This is my stamped base plate

This is what it looks like when all the edges and divider pieces are glued in place.

Love You To Death

Hello Nomad friends.  I've been playing with some aall and create stamps and also turned up some long lost galaxy markers.

I used a purple galaxy marker on the edge of my card base and also on the skull noses.  I added a green panel stamped with A&C Lined Crescent stamped with prickly pear archival ink.  I stamped the A&C quirks bodies directly on the card and coloured with blue galaxy marker.  I stamped the heads on white scraps, added some blue and purple galaxy marker colour, fussy cut and glued them on the bodies.  A couple of small sentiments from A&C choose happy and done.
