GO TO THE CHALLENGE. 

New challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens veranda, Rock or popup card.

Hello all,

Today a very nice challenge starts at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

A rocker or popup card.

Gail, our team leader always knows how to provide us with fun challenges.

I had never made a card like this myself, but I really enjoyed doing it.

This is what I used to make this popup card.

Lost Coast Designs stamps:

Bugs,

More bugs,

Party words,

Misc words,

Brush strokes.

Distressink

Scattered straw,

Musterd seed,

Wild honey.

Stazon Timber brown,

Die of a flower,

Water based markers,

Brown Bister-ink or watercolor paint to splatter.

 Dutch doobadoo stencil chicken wire.

Brown waterprook fineliner.

I started by making some stains on the paper with Scattered straw and

Musterd seed with water on a smooth work surface.

I did two piece, one for the front of the card and one for the inside of the card.

With a stencil, I used Dutch doobadoo stencil chicken wire.

And a brush I applied Distressink Wild honey.

Now we take the Brush strokes sheet and take the stamp with the big dots.

You stamp this here and there with Distressink wild honey.

Set it aside to dry.

Make the flower with your die.

I have an open die.

So I made a blank square of paper underneath.

I sponged this with the yellow distressink.

And made splashes with the brown bistre.

I did the same on the card bases I made earlier.

Sponge the die cut with yellow and orange distressink.

With foam tape you now stick the flower on the background so that it is slightly raised.

Glue to the front of the card.

Now we stamp a lot of bees and one big bee from the

 "more bugs"sheet with the Stazon timber brown.

Color the bees and cut them out.

See for yourself where you have the bees placed on the card.

I also pasted a small piece of foam tape under these wings.

It looks like they're flying away.

Now for the popup mechanism.

Since it was my first time, I used Sam Calcott's method.

She explains in this video how to make it.

You do need to customize it for your own card.

But it's about the technique for the popup.

Stamp a few more texts on a yellow sponged strip of paper

with the Party words and misk words.

Create a frame around the text with a brown waterproof fineliner.

Finish the card and mat with brown paper.

I hope you enjoyed it and the team would love to see your popup or rocker card join the challenge.

And maybe your card will be chosen as the winner and you will win stamps of your choice.

#133 Its a wrap challenge, wrapping paper, gifts and boxes etc

Hello everyone,

Today I have 4 delicious chocolate bars to show you.

Yes unfortunately only to look and not to eat, lol.

They are presents from my granddaughter for her kindergarten teachers.

She is celebrating her birthday,

 and in the Netherlands we give some treets to the teachers and children.

I decided to work with something with wings.

I've only worked with Distress Oxides.

I also used the beautiful stamps from Lost Coast Designs.

The sentiments are from Carmen's Veranda.

The mandalas are masks.

Would you also like to join our challenge?

There is a chance that you will win new rubber stamps.

You can participate with any stamp brand you want,

as long as you use real stamps at work.

Bee tag with tinfoil/aluminium folie

 Well say that's a mistake, I completely forgot to place this mixed media tag.

Now I saw a you tube video with this technique and I suddenly rememberd this tag.

So let me show it to you now.

I have made a halloween project with tutorial about this technique.

De bijenkorf / The beehive

Deze bijen hebben zo hard gewerkt dat de honing er gewoon uit loopt.

These bees have been so hard at work that the honey flows over.
