#128 challenge at Lost Coast designs, Face on.

Hello everyone, today this card for a challenge inspiration post.

The challenge this time is "Lets face it".

For this card I used a technique that I wrote a published article about years ago. 

Squeeze fresh flowers on paper. 

I love doing this technique, and make lots of prints so I have a lot of backgrounds. 

All you need is some flowers, paper and a die cut machine. 

You can also experiment yourself. 

For example, you can spray some ink or paint, or sprinkle some mica powders on it. 

You can probably come up with something yourself. 

Here is the tutorial for this card. 

You Need.....

Girl with a curl

Fresh cut flowers

Paper

Ink sprays

Papertowel

Die cut machiene

Tweezers

Brush

Black and white paint.

I always press the flowers between 2 sheets of paper.

When you run the paper through the machine, 

sometimes a lot of moisture comes out of the flowers. 

It is wise to keep quite a few sheets of paper towel handy. 

As soon as you see too much moisture coming out of the flowers, 

you should quickly blot it with the paper towel.

In this photo I had sprayed some glimmermist over the flowers and paper.  

Because you use 2 sheets of paper, you get a positive and negative print. 

And that gives very nice effects.

Now you have to peel of the flowers with the tweezers and brush.

Do this very carefully.

The paper has become wet and very prone to tearing.

And look what beautiful prints you have now.

And now the stamping,

I stamped the "Girl with a Curl" directly on to the floral print with black stazon.

Then colored her hair, eyes and mouth with some distress ink in the right color.

Also made some shadow around the stamp.

Splatter with some white and black paint fine splatters over the background.

Add some accents with a white gelpen and you're done.

You can of course make all kinds of designs and combinations.

Experiment and you will be amazed at what is possible.

But most importantly, have fun creating.

And dont forget to enter the challenge.

Maybe you will be oure next winner.

Challenge #127 Neon Colors, over at Lost Coast designs.

 Hello everyone,

Today a new challenge starts at Lost Coast Designs.

Use neon colors, that's so much fun.

And you know what's so nice, you can participate with all stamp brands. 

But of course we prefer LCD or Carmens Veranda stamps.

This time I have a fairly easy card, so also suitable for the novice stamper.

I used the Devil in disguise stamp and the fourth dimension background stamp.

I started with the fourth dimension and versamark Onyx Black.

Before printing the stamp, I wiped the outer edge with a cloth to get a faded outside.

Then stamp the cat on the center line of the background stamp.

Stamp the cat again on a piece of paper.

Color the cat with neon colors and glue it on the cat in the background.

Draw a frame around the card with a fineliner.

Stamp the text 4 times around the card.

Glue the card to a black cardstock.

If you like it, we'd love to see you join the challenge.

And of course there is a prize to be won.

Please read theRULES first to avoid disappointment.

Good luck and maybe you'll win new rubber of your choice.
