#140 Tweet this, challenge at Lost Coast Designs.

Hello dear bloggers, 
Today I worked on a large scale, an A4 21cmx30cm.
I think the crows are fantastic, they are so mysterious.
I have used various stamps.
Stazon black
Distress oxide wilted violet, mermaid lagoon and black soot.
6inch gelli plate round and a round mini gelli plate.
Water resistent fineliner.
Dutch doobadoo stencil bubbles.
Memento tuxido black

And this how I made it.
I started by smearing the large gelli plate with the distress oxides.
First go through these steps with 1 color and then repeat with the other colors.
I sprayed some water over it.
Turned the gelli plate over and used it as a stamp.
Stamp in the middle of the paper.



Look how beautiful that is, be careful when you do the step with the black.
It soon becomes too much black.


With the small gelli plate, repeat the same steps, only with 1 color.
Stamp the small circle right above and left below.


Take the Birds in trees stamp and the black Memento.
Print the stamp on the gelli plate (kiss technique),
 and then print the gelli plate on the small circles of distress oxide.
Now stamp with black the Bird on bike,
 and the long strip of letters from the pieces of calligraphy stamp sheet.
In the top left corner and bottom right corner,
I splattered some more ink.
I thought it was a bit too empty there.


I drew lines around the circles with the fineliner and did some scribbling.



Top left and bottom right I have stamped the pieces of calligraphy set.
And with the stencil I put circles divided in the two colors.



Finaly I stamped the Raven with tree branches in black ink.
And I cut 1 crow off the border stamp.
I stamped these here and there in the colored circles.

Because it is a large page, I glued it in my Art journal, to which I will write some texts later.



I hope you liked it and join our challenge.

#140 Tweet this challenge at Lost Coast Designs, its al about birds.

 
 Hi there stampers.
 Today another fun challenge at Lost Coast designs, with birds as the theme.

 
This time I stamped a candle with tissue paper.
I used these stamps.

The black/white edges are washi tapes.

Stamping on tissue paper is not easy.
And sometimes it takes several tries to get it right.
The paper is very fragile and you can easily tear through it.
So practice a lot and you will succeed.
There is a lot to be found on the internet about decorating candles.
So get inspired and give it a try.
It is a fantastic gift to give to someone.

Well I showed you my work, but our team would love it if you show us your work.
So come to the challenge and join us. 
Maybe you will be the next winner of new rubber stamps.

#139 "Round and round" challenge at Lost Coast designs


Hello dear stamp friends.
Yes, you can do a lot with the challenge round and round.
I chose a card with a butterfly in a circle with the beautiful text stamp of Carmens Veranda.
The butterfly is from the LCD butterfly set.

I ran a glossy cardstock through the distressink Evergreen bough, Peacock feathers and Twisted citron.
I punched a circle from a piece of watercolor paper and stamped a butterfly with waterproof ink.
Masked the butterfly and made some spots on the background with the distress colors.
I colored the butterfly with markers.
I also gave the butterfly a layer of glitter.
I stamped the CV text with Versafine onyx black.
The card and circle are matted with black and the black circle is somewhat frayed with a distress tool.
Would you like to join our challenge?

Hope you liked it, see you next time.
