Round and Round the Bunny

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy Easter.  Hope there was chocolate.  Geometric shapes make me happy.  I have a little box full of circles scraps from cutting apertures or to gut layers.  The other day I sorted them into colours.  Plenty blue circles, so I decided to play with layers, and then it ended up like this.....

Another bold and bright die cut card.  The bunny and chick are sizzix dies and I found a pink circle for the sun which I embossed with Simon Says Stamp Starburst embossing folder and inked with worn Lipstick distress ink.  The bunny and chick are also cut from scraps.

The Flying Club

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with a final bit of inspiration for the Let's Fly challenge.  I decided to work in my long neglected art journal with a plethora of stamps.

I started with Lost Coast Designs Flying Pig as an ATC and Carmen's Veranda Art Wings To Fly sentiment.  The pig was stamped, coloured and fussy cut and I glittered the wings.  One ATC seemed lonely so I stamped Lost Coast Designs Gnome Witch On A Broom on a piece of white card, watercoloured with distress inks and cut with an ATC die.  Lost Coast Designs Dictionary Words on cork, embossed with black embossing powder and I found some more cork embellishments to finish the page. I used Carmen's Veranda Bullseye on a piece of offwhite card and ripped the edges.  Then I fingerpainted with Worn Lipstick distress ink to add some patches of colour. I stamped Lost Coast Designs Flagstone Background on a scrap of patterned card and stamped Whimsical Flora directly on top and selectively coloured for a stained glass look.  For the journal page I used bubble wrap to stamp the colour with a few different distress ink.  Then I stamped a border with Lost Coast Designs Dominos Border.

I hope you like my art journal page.

Cat Waffle

Hello Nomad friends.  I love cats.  I always think of them as a female accessory.  I know there are blokes who like cats, but even in blue this feels feminine to me.

The stamp is Waffle Flower.  The frame is cut with an ATC die and embossed with a sizzix folder.  The sentiment is birthday happy.

Everything You Need Except Vitamin C

Hello Nomad friends.  Well, I'm off to a brisk start this morning which is highly unusual for me!!   Even the hens fell off their perch when the breakfast bell rang early.   It's a bit of a wet and grey Maundy Thursday so now my little darlings are all fed and watered I will be making my self cosy in my crafty space.  But first a little decoupage......

 

 The egg with flowers is printed so I just needed to clippy clippy.  I added the mini magnolia bunny suit girl cos she was lurking with intent.  I was aiming for damson with my card base and added two panels cut with an ATC die.  I diecut some diamonds into the top one and added fussy cut butterflies and rhinestones to both. 

Dimension shot.  The egg is actually flat!!   Wish I could colour like that........

Tree Tree Tree

Hello Nomad friends.  Look trees!!!

I've used overpriced technology from sizzix for the trees, which were all cut out of patterned paper scraps and then smeared with mowed lawn distress.  I used a real ancient lilac pearlescent aperture card and a piece of patterned glitter card I bought in the UK in February.  It's really gorgeous in the real.  Then I added the God Jul (Merry Christmas) die cut sentiment.

It's Penguining To Look A Lot Like Cake Time

Hello Nomad friends.  Lots of Easter fun going on with some of the Norwegian groups and one of them wants a birthday card with an non-traditional birthday stamp.  So I decided to go with penguins, like you do.  Everyone loves penguins!   Why relegate them to Christmas!!   Especially when they have cake and chocolate tea!!!!!

I cut my card base from a piece of fancy edge bazzill.  I decided the large scallops were fun and added a mid green layer.  Then I embossed a piece of cream card with Darice birthday embossing folder and liberally smeared with Twisted Citron distress ink.  I cut an ATC, dusted with emerald and lime green brusho powder and spritzed with water.  When it was dry I embossed it with the same folder, added the magical birthday stamped panel and that cute penguin, stamped, coloured and fussy cut.  I added the atc to the centre of the card and a couple of stamped, coloured and fussy cut Poppystamp Love Note penguins as additional support at the bottom.

 Open sesame!!!  Why sesame???  Anyway, I digress.........
Inside we have a pocket made with an offcut of the bazzill scallop edge card, more Poppystamp penguins and the guy in the middle is fetching the cake!!!   I grounded the penguins on some grass die cut from some green card with gold paint splatts.  The penguins are coloured with Promarkers.  The tea is chocolate and very tasty............

Cupcakes, Coffee and Bunny Slippers

Hello Nomad friends.  I saw today that Pink and Main are celebrating 10 years.  Congrats Pink and Main.  I like Pink and Main.  Their images are cute.  So I had a rattle through my Pink and Main stamps and found this bunny slippered coffee drinking fan.

I mounted some fun polka dot paper on a slimline card base and added some super size cupcake ribbon.   Then I stamped and coloured the image and die cut it with a stitch circle die.
