The challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps Is all about "Winged things".

 

What a fun challenge this month!

I immediately thought of this beautiful stamp from Carmens Veranda Stamps, 

Winged Skeleton.

This card is very simple to make.

I colored the stamp with pencils, which is something I really enjoy doing.

I also used layers of designer paper.

For that, I used June Bug by Basic Grey.

I distressed the edges of the paper and inked it with Distressink Walnut Stain.

I also added a voile bow and a copper flower with a green stone.

I glued a glitter stone heart onto the sternum.

I hope you'll join the challenge.

There are beautiful, high-quality rubber stamps to be won.

You can participate with any brand, as long as stamps have been used.

My stamped nativity scene.

 Yes, I know, Christmas is over. 

But I just finished this nativity scene. 

I had a wooden house,

I put an LED light in it,

 and stamped the background and

 colored it with watercolors and Inktense pencils.

Now for the card explanation.

I used:

LCD Megan's Christmas bird.

Ornaments from the Victoriana set.

And party words.

Brown ink to stamp the bird.

Distressink chipped sapphire for the ornaments and text.

Watercolor paint for the coloring.

White gelpen for the accents.

Gold marker (Posca).

Gold glitter

Punch with numbers.

White acrylic paint to splatter.

Stamp the bird with brown waterresistent ink.

Make sure the bottom four lights don't get inked. 

We'll attach the numbers to them later.

I colored with watercolorpaint.

Gave the background a dark blue cloudy schadow.

Colored the lights red and the fitting gold with the posca marker.

Punch out the numbers and color them gold.

Then add gold glitter on the numbers.

Glue the numbers to the lightcord and the 5 to the bird's beak.

Stamp with Distressink chipped sapphire the ornaments and the text.

Add accents with the white gelpen

 and splatter the white acrylic paint to create a snowy effect.

Matte with dark blue cardstock.
