Wild Flower Color Challenge and Pink Elephant #55

OK, so this is the second post of the day, VERY unusual for me to post twice in a day!


I just made another card this for the Wild Flower Color Challenge and the Pink Elephant Sketch Challenge.  Hope you like it.  The colours are a bit off actually, so I'll replace them tomorrow when the light is better and add a close up to show the dimension too, as I cut some extra bits out (the flowers, wing and bag) and raised them up on foam tape. [ed. photos all changed now!] By the way the image is from Pink Petticoat and is a digital image.

Hope you like what you see here! Feel free to take a look around. I just moved my blog from Paper Pizazz and SoSewJo and merged the two together to create The Crafty Nomad.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the first post on the newly named blog!

Hello folks. Well I hope you found me again after I moved my blog.  If you were following me please feel free to sign up again!


Today I have a card to share that was made using the Mojo Monday Sketch. Finally my nestabilities arrived: now that was an exciting day!!!!  I'm loving these bubble bath digital images at the mo from Pink Petticoat. 
Thanks for stopping by.  Have a fab day!

Another Clean & Simple Sketch Card!

Since making the card earlier this week for the Clean & Simple Challenge I decided I really like that look.  So I decided to go and have a browse through their old sketches. I love heaps of them! Today's card was made using sketch 78 as the starter point.

Thanks so much for looking. Have a great day!

Deb's entry for Get Sketchy

Yesterday I spent the day crafting with my friend Deb. We both worked on the Get Sketchy challenge (that's when I made the Bathtime bliss card in the previous post).  Here is Deb's super cute card.  I just love those colours together.


Deb is a bit of a craft all rounder.  After we'd made the cards we set about registering a blog name for her. She makes fabulous jewellery and was thinking for some time about getting an online presence - now she has one!  Be sure to go check it out here: PreciousDaze.

Bathtime Bliss!

Hi there! Don't you just love this image! It's a digital image from Pink Petticoat.


I've used this weeks sketch from Get Sketchy and a colour combination challenge from Just Us Girls.  I have to say I found the colour challenge a little difficult, the coral and the Raspberry together was definately a challenge for me!  Luckily my friend Deb had a piece of patterned paper that had the two colours together and that was enough to get me going! Thanks Deb.



I cut the bubbles out of a second image and raised them up on foam tape to add dimension, then added some dimensional magic and some glitter for a little bit of sparkle!  The rest of the sentiment is on the inside.


Might be uploading Deb's card onto here tomorrow for you all to see! Have a great day and thanks for looking!
