New month new challenge at Lost Coast designs, #212 "For the men".

 Hi there,

Today's card is very easy and quick.

But I really like the effect.

I used glossy cardstock.

I started by stamping Carmens Veranda Alfred Hitchcock standing

in the center of the card using Stazon Jet Black.

Stamp a mask to cover him.

Take the Fourth Dimension stamp and color it in with the markers.

This can be done with any water-based marker.

Spray a little water over the inked stamp and press it down.

Remove the mask, mat the card, and basically, you're already done.

A quick but effective stamping technique with a beautiful effect.

Thank you for visiting my blog, and please also visit the Lost Coast design blog

to enter our challenge. You might be the one to win new stamps.

Christmas in july challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps

 

Well, we're already heading towards the end of July.

But there are still a few days left to enter our challenge. 

So if you want to win new rubber stamps, join in. 

You can find the rules for the challenge here.

My last Christmas card of this month was made using 

the American Gothic stamp and the Sun and Stars border from Lost Coast Designs.

I colored the stamp in with my Van Gogh watercolors. 

I stamped the border with Hero Arts Unicorn White,

 and sprinkled it with white embossing powder.

This embossing powder contains a tiny bit of silver glitter.

That stands out beautifully against the black background.

So, basically a fairly simple card.

I hope to see you again on August 1st, 

when the new Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda challenge begins.

GO TO THE CHALLENGE!!!

Love this cute reindeer doll stamp.

 

Dear blog visitors,

I created this tag for the challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

The challenge runs until the end of the month. 

So if you have made something with a Christmas theme and used stamps in it, 

come and join in. 

You are allowed to participate even without LCD/CV stamps.

Please read the rules regarding this.

Now, here is how the tag was made.

What I used for the tag.

CV Reindeer doll.

LCD Music border.

LCD Party words.

Distress Oxide:

Ground espresso

Uncharted mariner

Bundled sage

Speckled egg

Abandoned coral

Viva decor Ice effect

Ranger Stickles Cranberry

Stencil with stars

How its made.

I started with the

Made stains with water and Distress Oxide 

Uncharted mariner

Bundled sage

Speckled egg.

Build that up starting with the lightest color.

Keep going until you like the result.

Stamp the reindeer doll with Ground espresso.

Now we take the music border and cut off one piece.

Lost Coast Designs borders are generally quite long.

I really like that; you can often cut off a piece to use as a separate stamp.

Stamp the music border here and there with Ground espresso.

With the ice effect from Viva Decor and the stencil, 

you create stars in the open spaces.

Put the tag away and let it dry thoroughly.

In the meantime, we color the reindeer with the Distress Oxide.

I do this with water, as if it were watercolor paint.

I put a little bit of red Stickles on the hearts of the bows.

Cut her out; you don't need to cut the antlers as well.

They are so thin that it would never turn out nicely.

That is why we stamped the reindeer onto the tag first.

Glue the reindeer onto the tag and mat the tag with brown.

Insert a brown ribbon and you are done.

Here you can read another tutorial with this stamp.

I hope you enjoyed it, and if you want to join the challenge, click here below.

New challenge at Lost Coast Designs, Christmas in july.

For the new challenge starts at Lost coast designs.

 The theme is Christmas in July.

I just love this Santa with toys gnome.

Go to the challenge. 

My last post for lost Coast designs challenge this month.

This month's challenge is Fruit, flowers and foliage.

So I immediately thought of the manga stamp Manga goth dots.

After all, she has flowers in her hair.

But for the cute text "Daisies in my hair" from Carmens Veranda stamps, 

I changed the little roses in her hair into daisies.

You can see here that the stamp actually has little roses, but you just stick a daisy over it.

I used:

LCD Manga goth dots.

LCD More bugs

LCD Flowers

CV Daisies in my hair.

Black waterresitent inkpad, (versafine)

Distressink Musterd seed, Wild honey.

Color pencels or markers, whichever you prefer.

Masking tape.

Honeycomb stencil.

Stamp the flowers using masking tape, 

letting the flowers overlap slightly.

Do the same with the girl.

Use an ink blender to make the background yellow.

And use the wild honey and the stencil to create the background.

Remove the masks and color the centers of the flowers, and the girl.

Stamp the text in black.

Stamp the bees and the little daisies on a thin peace of paper.

Color, cut out and glue them on.

Matt the card and you ar done.

Scrole to the end for another tutorial with a manga goth girl.

It would be great if you joined the challenge too.

There is, of course, a prize to be won (read the rules).

It runs until the end of the month.

#210 Challenge at Lost Coast designs, Fruit, Flowers and Foliage.

 

Hello to all you crafters.

For the background of this card,

 I used various shades of blue, orange, yellow, and brown. 

I sponged the background with a small sponge. 

Then I took the scrubbery stamp and stamped with three shades of brown. 

I kept shifting the stamp so that it looks like different types of stamps were used. 

I stamped the Carmens Veranda text with gold embossing powder.

Would you like to join the challenge?
