Gnome challenge #134 at Lost Coast Designs

Hi, Riet here.

What a fun challenge. 

Do you also love gnomes?

As this is my last contribution to Lost Coast designs this year, 

I bring you this last Christmas greeting.

I wish you all a very merry and loving Christmas.

And a happy new year to everyone.

I am back at LCD on the 1sth of Januari.

The stamp is the Sweater Gnome,

With the help of some maskingtape I stamped the sweater gnome 3 times.

 I colored the gnomes with pencils and drew some things on the hat with a white gelpen,

 so that it looks like 3 different gnomes. 

Take 5 sticks of 20 cm wood and paint them. 

Make the star as shown in the picture. 

I glued the star first and later tied the twine around the ends. 

Glue the gnomes on it.

Glue a Christmas greeting on it and you're all set. 

This is so nice to give as a gift, or hang it in your tree.

The challenge runs until the end of the month, so you can still participate. 

Click on the link and join the fun, and maybe you'll be the winner of new rubber this month.

Birthday card for my daugther.

 For my daugthers 36 birthday I made this card.

It is inspired by the beautiful cards from Eileen Godwin.

We went on a high tea on her birthday

Lost coast designs challenge #135 Anything go's gnomes.

 Hello everyone,

We have another fun challenge at Lost Coast designs.

A whole month its all about gnomes.

If you dont have a LCD gnome, dont worry, 

it is allowed to use other brands.

I stamped a tag this time.

Pretty easy and quick to make.

So here is the step by step explanation.

What I used:

LCD stamps,

Carmens Veranda sentiment.

Click on the stamps to take you to de website.

Distress Oxide and distressink,

Pink flamingo,

Peacock feathers,

Diamond stencil,

Color markers,

Versafine onyx black,

Small ruler or a plastic card.

White posca pen.

Take a piece of paper or a tag.

Spread some distress oxide in both colors evenly over the stencil. 

Spray water over it.

Press the stencil onto the paper as if you were stamping.

Dry it with the heat tool.

Now take the stamps and the distressink.

Stamp like the example or as you see fit.

Take the ruler and the Versafine.

Swipe the pad with the ruler to apply the black ink to the edges. 

Splash some black ink or paint over the tag.

Stamp with Versafine the gnome.

Color the gnome and cut her out.

Gleu her to the tag.

Well you won't believe it, but even though I use a stamping aid,

My text doesn't often have a nice straight line, LOL.

You'll probably be better off than me, 

so stamp the sentiment with versamark.

This text is from Carmens Veranda,

on the CV site you will find a whole page with the most beautiful and funniest text stamps.

Stick a piece of black cardstock to the back and you are done.

Hope you have fun in creating your gnome card, tag or anything you want to make.

And please share your art with us and join the challenge.

There are rubber stamps to win so come and participate.

Stamping on a mini cutting board

 I made this cutting board for my daugther.

She has all kinds of chicken things in her kitchen.
So hence this cutting board.

#134 Yeah a challenge all about gnomes, at Lost Coast designs.

 

 Hello everyone,

How nice, a challenge with everything about gnomes throughout December.

I love these mini people, they are so cute and happy.

And Lost Coast designs has a lot of them.

Take a look here.

Scroll down the page, because there are a lot of gnomes lower on the page.

Since it's December, I made a Christmas card with the gnome.

I love the Micro Distress glaze and used it with the snowflakes.

Then I used various colors of blue watercolor for the background.

I kept the bottom edge white to make snow.

I added the snow edge with a pencil.

I splashed snowflakes with white paint.

And from black glitter paper I punched some black musical notes.

I colored the ZZ Top gnome with pencils.

Then I wrote "Oh holy night" with a waterproof pen and a stencil.

And that was it for this time.

I hope you join the challenge too.

You must have a gnome stamp to join.

The stamp maybe of any brand.

So enter for a chance to win LCD/CV stamps.

Dont forget to reed the rules.

And have fun creating.
