Love the "Under the sea" challenge at Lost Coast designs.


 Today my second contribution to the "Under the sea" challenge at Lost Coast Designs. 
The challenge runs until the end of the month, so there's still plenty of time to participate.
And it is even allowed to participate with other brands.
But now the step by step of this card.

I have used these stamps,
Furthermore I have used:
Dylusions ink spray, Calypso teal, Vibrant turquoise and Funky fuchsia.
Distressink Rusty hinge,
Versafine black onyx,
Color pencils I have used Derwent intense,
but you can decide for yourself how you color the fish.
White pigment ink.
white gel pen,
White posca marker.
Black fineliner that is waterproof.
Stencil with cirkel holes in it.

This is how I made it.
First I sprayed the 3 Dylusionsprays on a sturdy paper.

I did that on 2 sheets, 1 for the card and 1 for the plants I cut later with a die.
With the versafine black I stamped the fish in the places where I want them.
 I also stamp them on thin paper to color them in.

For the background I used the crackle stamp and the white pigment ink.
Use only part of the stamp and stamp around the fish.

With a stencil with small circles I drew the bubbles.
and remove some of the ink with water.
With the posca I drew a line on the bubbles as a reflection of the light.

Now we are going to color the fish and give accents with the white gel pen. 
Cut them out and glue them to the fish on the card.

I cut out the waterplants with a die on the Big Shot.
Some I gave an orange color with the distress ink Rusty Hindge.
Glue the plants to the card.

Mat the card with black cardstock.
I must say that I absolutely love the fish, so detailed and so much fun to color.

Well I hope you liked it, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
And don't forget to join the challenge, you can win new stamps.
You can find the rules here.

Hi there, this time it's an easy card.
But first what I used to make the card.

A stencil.
3 colors of Glimmermist or other spray ink.
Coloring pencils.

I started with spraying 3 colors of glimmermist.
Orange, turquoise and green, on a stencil.

Let it dry, in the meantime you can color the mermaid.
You can also stamp the text with stazon black.
Cut out and smear the edges with Distressink Black soot.
Cut out the mermaid.
Glue everything to the card and mat it on black cardstock.

Challenge 143 "Strong woman"


Hello everyone, today a card for the challenge with the subject "Strong women".
I have chosen the Lycaonia stamp,
 I think it is a real strong woman as she sits there between her wolves.
For the background I used the grunge tree stamp.
The text is by Carmens Veranda, there you will find the funniest and most beautiful texts and sayings.

What else did I use:
Smooth cardboard.
Clear embossing powder.
Spray ink in turquoise.
Pencils or markers for coloring.
Versamark.
Stazon black.
Clear embossing powder.

How did I make it.
I first stamped the Grunge tree with Versamark.
And sprinkled with the embossing powder.
Melted the embossing powder with the heat tool.
When the card has cooled down, spray the spray ink on it.
Do the same with the card with the text.
Now set it aside and let it air dry.
Continue with the Lycaonia stamp.
Stamp with stazon black on a thin paper and color it.
Cut out the stamp.
The map is now dry and we will continue with this.
Take a sheet of paper and place it on the card and text card.
Use a warm iron to iron off the embossing powder.
But if you like it better with the embossing powder, you can also skip this step.
Now glue the Lycaonia image on the card.
Assemble the card further as in the example, or according to your own idea.

So feel free to join.
You have a chance to win beautiful stamps.
And you can even participate with other stamp brands.
Please read the rules to avoid misunderstandings.
I wish you the best of luck and, above all, a lot of fun making your creation.

Challenge 143 at Lost Coast Designs, its about "strong woman."



Hi everyone, 
This time I made a mixed media card/art journal for the "Strong woman" challenge at Lost Coast designs.

What I used:
CraftEmotions stencil.
Dutch Doobadoo modding paste.
Dylusions ink sprays, Calypso teal, Polished jade, Ground coffee.
A marker for the 50's girls dress and skin.
Black ink for the sentiment.
Versa Magic Egg Plant.
Silver leaf foil.
Glue for the silver leaf.

How i made it.

I took an A5 smooth cardboard and applied the modding paste here and there.
Let it dry by air or heattool.
Sprayed it with the Dylusions inks.
Let it dy well.
Apply some glue here and there on the hearts and apply the silver leaf.




Stamp the stamp of the Pieces of calligraphy sheet, spread over the empty spaces with the VersaMagic.
This may be diluted a little with a mist of water.

Now take thin paper and stamp the CV sentiment and the 50's Girl with a black waterproof ink.
Cut out the lines of the sentiment and swipe the Versamagic around the edges.
Do this also along the edges of the card.
Color the girl with markers or pencils.
Now glue the girl and the text on the card.
And then you're done.

It's so much fun to join the challenge.
We prefer if you use LCD or CV stamps, but it is not mandatory.
You can also participate with other brands, as long as there is stamping.
So click on the link and join the fun, and maybe you'll be the winner of new rubber stamps.

I would like to draw your attention to our DT member Cathy Norton.
She makes the beautiful posters for us every challenge,
and that is worth a compliment.
