The new Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps challenge for April is, GNOMES!

 

Today marks the start of the new monthly challenge at 

Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps. 

The theme is "Gnomes".

Well, Easter is just a few days away, so I thought I'd use that cute Rabbit gnome. 

Look, he already has his Easter basket in his hand to go collect eggs.

This gnome is on the mini set 3 but is also available in a large size. 

I used the mini gnome.

How do we make this card?

What you need:

Mini Gnome set 3.

Daisy florish.

Crackle background.

Misc words.

Distressink: 

Scattered straw

Crushed olive

Gathered twigs

Archival ink Coffee

Bister naturel or any other brown ink.

Vellum

Die for the vellum.

White gelpen

Glitter stones.

Foam tape.

I started by making the background yellow using the Scattered straw and some water.

And I added brown spots to it with gathered twigs.

I stamped the crushed olive onto the card using the crackled background.

Die cut an egg and stamp it with the Daisy florish

Color the edge off the background and the egg with the Distress ink Gathered twigs

Color the piece off vellum and color it brown with de Gathered twigs.

I used the inner part off the die, to lay behind the egg.

Stamp the gnome and color with distress Ink.

Let it dry and continue with the background.

Stamp the part of the daisy florich with Archival Coffee on the corners of the card.

Splatter with the natural bistre and let dry thoroughly.

You can use a heat tool to dry it.

Stick the vellum in the middle of the card.

Use thin foam tape for the egg and thicker tape for the gnome.

The word 'hope' is on the misc words sheet; 

I only inked the letters HOP and printed them 3 times.

Give the gnome and the word 'hope' some accents with the white gel pen.

Stick the glitter stones onto the vellum and you are done.

The LCD/CV team would love to see your stamp art in the challenge.

You will also be eligible to win new rubber.

Anything is allowed as long as it is stamped on.

You can even participate with other brands.

For the "Make it funny" challenge at Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda stamps.

 

Hi there, today a card for the LCD/CV  challenge. 

What I used:

the Brush strokes set.

And Carmen's Veranda,

 Happily ever after.

Black waterproof inkpad.

Posca marker, green, pink and yellow.

Color pencils.

Stamp with black ink Mona and the saying.

Stamp the edge with a part of frayed circle from the brush strokes sheet.

Draw small flowers on the black border with the Posca.

And color Mona with pencils.

Make some accents with a white gelpen.

Mat the card on white and go along the edge with a black marker.

#207 A new month, a new Lost Coast design/Carmens Veranda challenge. "Make it funny".

Hello, welcome to my blog.

For this challenge, I immediately thought of Carrie's Old Women from LCD.

So funny, and the text from Carmen's Veranda stamps are hilarious too.

Take a look, they are so much fun.

ClearStamp Words and Phrases

Now, how the card was made.

What I used:

Carrie's old woman, party on.

Brush strokes.

Pieces of calligraphy.

A stencil with a checkered pattern.

Versafine onyx black.

Distress oxide:

Spiced marmelade.

Peacock feathers.

Wilted violet.

Colorng pencils or markers.

I started by inking the stencil with Spiced Marmalade.

I wiped the center clean, about the size of the old lady.

Sprayed some water over it and pressed it onto the paper.

With the stencil and peacock feathers applied here and there.

Stamp the three rings four times and the old lady en the text stamp

 with Versafine black.

(You can use any black ink, of course.)

From the Brush Strokes sheet, take the stamp with the bubble wrap.

I roll it around my finger and stamp only a portion of the stamp.

I did this with Wilted Violet.
