Challenge at Lost Coast Designs, "Something seasonal"

Hello blog visitor.
Did you guys have a good Christmas, I did.
So now we go to the new year.
So I made an invitation card for a new years party.
I used these stamps for it.


I used Distress oxide peacock feathers and Seedles preserves.
And a waterproof black ink.
A stencil.
Maskingtape.

I started by inking the stencil with seedles preserves.
Spray with a little water and print on the paper.


Then stamp and mask the girl with waterproof black ink.
If you find masking too difficult, you can also stamp and stick her on thin paper.

Use the other stamps as on the example.
But of course you can also make your own mix.


Remove the mask and color the girl with the distress oxide.

Stamp the words from the Party words sheet and glue them on the card.
Make an outline with black and the distress colors.
Finally, splash some black ink here and there on the card.
I hope you liked it.
And there is still time to join the challenge
You have a chance to win beautiful rubber stamps.

For me this is my last contribution of this year, 
So I wish you a nice end of the year party.
And see you next year.

#157, Somthing seasonal challenge.


Hello, this is the start of a new challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.
Something seasonal.
I made a slimline card, and this is how I made it.

Stazon black.
versamark
gold embossing powder with a glitter in it.
distressink antique linen.
Distress oxide rustic wilderness

I started stamping the crackle background stamp with distressink antique linen.
On top of that I stamped the snowflakes with versamark and sprinkled them with gold embossing powder with a glitter in it.
Melt the embossing powder with the heat tool.
That's the background, now I stamped the santa with Stazon black.
I colored the santa gnome with Derwent colorsoft. 
I added some gold glitter to his fur sleeves and hat.

And then i cut him out.
I made the JOY letters with the We r memory keepers Alphabet Punch Board mini.
I stamped it with Distress oxide rustic wilderness and the christmas tree from Carmens Veranda. 
This stamp is large and fits easy over the entire letter.
I blackened the edges of the letters with a black posca marker.

I raised the letters a bit with foam tape, and at the O i made a double thick layer.
I did this so that I could slide the J and Y just a little under it.
I also slightly raised the gnome Santa with foam tape.

Matting on a black cardstock and then on a red slimline card.
I hope you liked it.

I'd like to invite you to join the LCD challenge.
New rubber can be earned, and you can participate with all kinds of stamp brands.
I hope to see your work too, but don't forget the most important thing, have fun creating your work.
See you next time.

A new challenge at lost coast designs blog, "Tag you're it".

 
Hello, today I have a vintage tag for the tag challenge.
I myself love this style, I like old stuff and romantic style.
The roses stamp and the label set is perfect for this vintage tag.
I'll explain how I made it.

This is what I used.

Distress ink
Victorian velvet
Aged mahogany
Distress oxide
Bundled sage
Rustic wilderness
Stazon timber brown
Markers or pencils in the same colours.
Crealies xxl tag nr.6
 
With victorian velvet I made some ink stains on the tag.
I applied ink to the stencil with Distress aged mahogany and sprayed it with a little bit of water.
You can print the stencil on the tag.
I did the same with the victorian velvet.
Then I added Aged mahogany here and there with an inkblender brush and the stencil.
Look what a beautiful background you get.

With the ledger stamp and Aged mahogany I placed a print here and there.
This will give your background more depth.
And with Rustic wilderness I stamped the roses on the right corner of the tag.
while the background is drying well, we continue with the Label and rose stamp.
We stamp these stamps with Stazon Timber brown.
I colored them with water based markers.
Cut them out, I cut the roses into pieces.
This way you can arrange the roses more easily around the label.
Stick the label on the tag with foam tape and do the same with the roses.
Hope you liked this tutorial,
 and join oure tag challenge at Lost Coast Designs and Carmen Veranda's stamps.
There is new rubber for the winner.
You can even join with other brands, you can read all about it in the rules.
Have a nice day and till next time.

Day 25 of the 31 days of halloween, #154 cats and dogs

 Hello dear stampers,


Today it's my turn to show something with a Halloween dog or cat.
This is a really fun challenge.
Will you join us?
You probably have a stamp that you can use for this challenge.
It doesn't matter which brand, you can still participate in the challenge.
For this card I used the Spiderweb background stamp.
A stamp from the sheet Pieces of calligraphy.
And the text of the "Devil in disguise" stamp.
I also used a cobweb stencil from Dutch Doobadoo.
I started by coloring the card background with water and ink.:
Distressink musterd seed - Rusty hinge - Pumice stone.
With the stencil and Adirondack colorwash Purple twilight,
 I sprayed in the top left corner and bottom right corner.
Looks black in the photo, but is a very deep dark purple.

I stamped the center piece with the spiderweb background stamp and black ink.
I stamped Spike and Lucy with waterproof ink on a thin paper.
Colored with pencils, and with a red posca I drew the horns on spike's head.
I cut a witch hat from black paper and glued it on Lucy's head.
In the lower left corner and upper right corner I stamped the text with Distress oxide Crackling campfire.
I stamped the text on a strip of paper.
Stained the paper with Distressink Musterd seed and Rusty hinge.
the spider has been glued up and the text raised a bit, pasted on with 3d tape.
This was the explanation for the card.
So join the challenge and maybe you'll win.
