New month, new challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda stamps.

 

Hello stampers, 

The new monthly challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps is a color challenge. 

I just love playing with colors.

Here is a tutorial for this card.

  

Materials needed.

Stamps.

CV-clocksquare

LCD- steampunk bicycle lady

Nellie Snellen 3d Embossingfolder uurwerken/clockworks.

Distress Oxide Peacock feathers.

Versa Magic Pumpkin spice.

Any spray ink with shimmer,

I used Tattered angels.

Color pencils, I used Derwent colorsoft. 

Foamtape.

White paper.

How to make the card.

Cut a piece of white paper 14cm x 14cm.

With the Distress Oxide Peacock feathers,

 and an inkblender tool you make different spots of turquoise.

The remaining white spaces you spray the glimmermist. 

Put it aside and let it dry.

The shine is not visible in the photo,

But it shines beautifully.

Take a white paper of 7.7cm x 7.7cm.

Stamp with the Versa Magic Pumpkin spice the clock square.

Let it dry well, then the ink is fade resistant.

Color in the shadows with Derwent colorsoft.

Repeat this process with the Steampunk bike girl stamp.

On a small piece of paper you write or stamp the text.

Make the edge turquoise, and shade a bit with pencil.

Matt it on a piece of white paper.

When sticking on all the parts I used foam tape to give everything a bit of depth.

Matt on a white card base.

And that was the card, actually quite easy, don't you think?

I hope you enjoyed it, and maybe you want to join the challenge too.

You then have a chance to win new stamps, and who wouldn't want that?

You can even enter with stamps from other brands.

This month's challenge at Lost coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps is "For the men"

Hi stampers,

Today a card for the men.

I chose a steampunk card.

And this is what you need if you want to make this card.

LCD background stamp Gears 2.

LCD Flying car.

Misc words.

Distress ink,

Walnut stain,

Broken china,

Rusty hinge,

Weathered wood.

Stazon Timber brown,

Versa Magic Jumbo Java.

Versa mark.

WOW EP Egyptian turquoise.

Ranger EP Hamered=bronze colored

Corrugated cardboard.

Gears die, I used Spellbinders.

Brown and turquoise acrylic paint.

Coloring pencils or markers.

I used Derwent Colorsoft.

Foam tape.

How this card is made.

I started stamping the gears 2 stamp with versamark.

I sprinkled the Ranger hammered embossing powder on top.

Let it melt with the heat tool.

Color with a ink blending tool,

 and the Distress ink colors 

Broken china, Rusty hinge, Weathered wood the card.

Cut off the rest of the card,

 and then take a small edge of the embossing powder with it.

You stamp the text on this piece with the Stazon brown timber.

Now take a piece of corrugated cardboard.

Make sure it goes well around the card with the gears.

Paint the entire piece of corrugated cardboard with brown acrylic paint.

Dry with a heattool.

Repeat this with turquoise paint, but now only paint here and there.

The brown paint should remain clearly visible.

Now we take a piece of orange paper that is larger than the gears card,

 but smaller than the corrugated cardboard.

Distress the edges with a tool.

Make a puddle of Distressink walnut stain and water and dip the edges in it.

Die cut two sizes of gears from orange paper.

I used a set of Spellbinders.

Apply Versamark on the gears, 

but leave spots free so that the orange can still be seen later.

Sprinkle the WOW Egyptian turquoise on the gears.

Melt with the heat tool.

Isn't that beautiful?

Love the result of the embossing powder.

Now you can assemble the card by gluing the layers together.

I stuck the small gear with 1 layer of foam tape.

I stuck the large gear on with double thick foam tape.

Glue the Adventure and the flying car on.

And now you're done.

Hope you guys liked it.

Remember, you still have time to join the challenge.

You have a chance to win new rubber stamps.

But because the rules have changed, I would like to ask you to read the rules first.

This way you avoid disappointments.

Hope to see your participation at the challenge.

I wish you good luck.

There is a steampunk/vintage challenge going on at Lost Coast Designs blog.

 Hi stampers and other crafty people.

Do you love steampunk and vintage?

Than join the challenge and have a chance to win some rubber stamps.

Here's my DT example.

I made a slimline card, here is the step by step.

This is what I used:

LCD stp fly with bird.

stp Dirigible.

Pieces of calligraphy.

Gears 2.

CV art wings to fly.

Derwent Inktense pencils

Stazon Dove grey

A waterpoof black

Distress ink Wild honey,

Vintage photo,

Mowed lawn

Twisted citron.

Mica sheet.

White gell pen.

I started by stamping the Fly with bird stamp with black waterproof ink

on watercolor paper.

Color her in with the inktense pencils.

I chose green, yellow and gray,

 because I didn't want to use the traditional steampunk/vintage colors this time.

When you're done coloring, cut out the steampunk girl.

You can use sissors or a knife, what ever works the best for you.

Now we make the background.

Make with the 4 colors and some water ink puddles.

The main part with the distress ink vintage photo and wild honey.

And with the green colors we do some ink here and there.

I used a piece of mica, so you have more control over where the ink goes.

Leave some space to print the other stamps.

With the gears 2 background stamp and Distress ink Mowed lawn I stamped here and there.

Because I wanted to keep it very subtle I stamped second and third generation.

With the Stazon dove gray I stamped in the left under corner

and the right upper corner with the pieces of calligraphy.

And did the same with the dirigible stamp in the top left corner.

I stamped with black stazon.

The text "Art gives my soul wings to fly",

Now glue on the steampunk lady and mat with gray.

I hope you liked it,

and maybe you will also make something for the challenge.

If you participate you have a chance to win beautiful stamps.

You have until the end of the month.

You can find the rules here.

See you at the challenge.

#149 Background in focus, the new challenge at lost Coast designs.

Hello everyone, what a nice challenge to expose the background stamps.

LCD has very nice background stamps, which can ease take a leading role in your project.

Now the description of this card.

What did I use:

LCD Background stamp Gears 2 and,

 The dragonfly with Dragonfly text from the Bugs sheet.

Distress Oxide: Saltwater taffy, Peacock feathers, Bundled sage,

Crackling campfire, Ground espresso

Distressink: Vintage photo, , Antique linen, Walnut stane.

Stazon Timber brown.

Markers or color pencils.

Gold glitter for the wings.

White gel pen. 

And this is how I made the card.

Spread the 3 colors over your craft sheet and spray a little bit of water.

Pass your paper through this.

Let it dry well between colors.

     With Distress oxide Ground espresso we now stamp the background.

We repeat this with Distress oxide Crackled campfire.

Let it dry very well.

And this is what it looks like, as if the gears have rusted.

With these 3 colors you sponge the edges, starting with the lightest.

With some brown paint or ink we make some stains on the background.

Stamp the dragonfly on a clean pice of paper and on to the background.

Color the dragonfly and give the wings a little bit of gold shimmer.

Cut the dragonfly out. 

Gleu only the body on the card and make it look if it fly's away.

Make a banner with the dragonfly text the same way as the card.

Stick on with raised tape, mat the card with brown cardboard.

Now your done, hope you have fun with the card.

Now it's up to you, show your idea with a background stamp.

 Join the challenge and maybe you'll win new stamps.

#138 LCD challenge, Vintage/Steampunk.

Hi there, today a new card for the Lost Coast Designs challenge.

You can still join till the end of the month.

Vintage and steampunk are my favorite stamps to work with .

I love the old colors and imaginative stamps and designs. 

Lost Coast designs also has very nice stamps in this theme.

These are the stamps I used on this card.

Gears 2

Pieces of architecture

Pieces of caligraphy

STP Fly with bird

Distress oxide,

Tea dye

antique linen

wild honey

Ground espresso.

Stazon timber brown

Bring with some water the colors on to the paper.

Keep it light in the middle.

Brush or spunge some Tea dye on the edges.

Repeat with Distress oxide ground espresso.

With the distress oxide wild honey I stamped parts of the gears stamp.

And did the same with the corner of the pieces of architecture.

With a stamp from the pieces of caligraphy set and the ground espresso i stamped here and there.

With a die cut I made the medallion and sponged it with the ground espresso.

Fix this on the background with 3D tape.

Stamp the fly with bird with the stazon and color it in with pencils or markers.

Cut her out and glue her to the medallion.

I had some paper gears left over from an other project.

So colored them grey an glued them on.

And this is the end result.
