For the Lost Coast designs/Carmens veranda stamps challenge, "Let's fly"

 

Hello, No tutorial today but a brief explanation.

I used these stamps for this card.

Daisy florish,

M raven2, 

Goth raven 

and 

Carmens Veranda Art wings to fly.

I also used 

distress oxide Iced spruce, 

Wilted violet, 

Picked rasberry 

Blueprint sketch.

And distress ink Black soot.

A black waterproof ink.

White gel pen.

Black fineliner.

I started by making a puddle with Iced spruce and some water and dabbing the paper into it.

Let it dry, then make stripes with the side of the oxide ink pads.

Stamp the ravens with the waterproof ink.

Color the ravens with pencil or marker.

Give them some accents with the white gel pen.

Stamp the text on white paper and draw a line around the words.

Cut the words in to pieces.

With the black distress ink and an ink blender we now darken the outer edge of the paper.

That gives it some mystery.

Glue the words on the card.

Now take a larger sheet of white paper,

 and stamp it completely full with the Daisy floral and black ink.

Now stick the raven card on top and matt with black cardstock.

This is a somewhat older technique, 

but as you can see, you can quickly and easily achieve an interesting background.

So now its up to you, and I hope you join the challenge.

It runs till end of the month, so still time to join.

There is new rubber to win, so thats nice.

Goodluck and dont forget to have fun with your craft.

"Lets fly" challenge at Lost Coast designs.

 Hello stamp fans.

Today a contribution for the Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps design team.

The theme for the challenge is "Lets fly".

I used the beautiful praying angel with the dictionary love text stamp.

De border is cald, hearts and curls.

I used the Dutch version, but of course there is also an English version.

Now a small description of how I made the card.

I used:

Praying angel,

Hearts and curl border,

Dictionary LCD's Love or CV Dutch Liefde.

Distress oxide, Saltwater taffy.

Barn door.

Versafine onyx black.

Stencil with very small hearts.

Acrylic block heart shaped,

or a plastic sheet will do fine.

Black fineliner.

I started by inking the stencil with Distress oxide barn door.

Then lightly spray the stencil with water and print onto the paper.

Stamped the praying angel on thin paper and cut the angel out.

I used the fineliner to draw a black border around the heart.

Stamp the text on the heart with the black versafine.

We also stamp the border in black on the right side of the card.

We stamp the praying angel on thin paper.

Cut her out and glue her to the card.

I matted with gold and black cardstock.
