I love the "I am woman" challenge at lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

 

Hello everyone, what a fun challenge.

I decided to make an Art Journal page of it.

With the subject "women" I immediately thought of Frida Kahlo. 

What beautiful art she made, and despite her physical suffering such a strong woman.

Here is the description of how I made it.

What do you need for this AJ page.

CV open rose,

CV Girl with mind,

LCD Frida with roses,

LCD Piece of architacture,

LCD Brush strokes.

Shape die, Nellie Snellen, Vintasia oval with grid.

Black waterproof inkpad.

Distress Oxide,

Lucky clover,

Crackling Campfire,

Mermaid Lagoon,

Coloring pencils

We start with three colors of ink and a little water.

We use that to make spots and stripes on the paper.

Repeat this with the lucky clover and mermaid lagoon.

Stamp the corner ornament with mermaid lagoon.

The calligraphy stamp with crackling campfire.

And the bubble stamp with lucky clover.

Make some splatters with black ink or paint.

Set it aside to dry.

Die cut the 3 parts of the die, the largest with black paper.

The 2 inner parts with white paper.

The middle part stays white.

The inner part is made green with lucky clover and a littlebit of water.

When its dry, splatter with the other distress oxide colors.

When all is dry, glue it together.

I stamped 4 roses and colored with pencils.

Glue everything to the background.

Stamp with black ink the phrase from Carmens Veranda,

Now it's your turn for the challenge.

You probably have a stamp with a woman on it.

It can even be from a different brand, as long as you use stamps you can participate.

Until next time, and have fun crafting.

Here's how I made the card.

I started by stamping the labels and perfume bottles

 in different colors of Distress ink.

Mask the bottum bottle.

Stamp left and right from the mask bottle the other perfume bottles.

In the next picture you can see what I masked,

and stamped in the next phase.

Stamp the empty spaces with a stamp of the pieces of architecture and versamark.

Take a brush and powder the versamark prints with the mica powder.

And cut the card square.

Of course you could keep the card as is.

But I still wanted something with contrast on it.

So I stamped the girl with the curl in black ink.

Cut her out in a square.

I used foam tape to stick her in the middle.

Mat with black cardstock.

I love this month's theme.

And I'm very curious what you make.

Show it on our challenge blog or facebook.

Then you have a chance to win new stamps.

Until next time.

I had a gorjuss swap with a friend.

I had a swap with a stamping friend, Hannie Hokke.

We both had the same stamp from Gorjuss.

So we agreed to do a swap with the stamp.

I got a beautiful accordion card from her with different elaborations of the stamp.

And I made a sea scene with watercolor paint.

I am woman, is the new monthly challenge at Lost Coast designs.

 

For the opening of the new challenge I used these stamps.

LCD Ballerina 1

Then stamped the stamps with a black waterresistent ink.
