The new challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps is, "Let us entertain you".

 

Hello, today its my turn to show you something with entertainment.

So I thought of this beautiful stamp of a dancer.

I'll tell you how I made the card.

And if you like it you can participate in the challenge.

Maybe you will be the winner this month and win new stamps.

Stamps I used:

Crackle background.

Dancer silhouette.

Distressink:

Pumice stone

Old paper

Iced spruce

Versafine onyx black

Gold leaf

and gold leaf liquid/glue.

I started with distress ink old paper and pumice stone to make the paper look old.

I made lengthwise spots on the background with a sheet of acetate and distressink iced spruce.

When it is completely dry, stamp the dancer with black ink.

Apply the gold leaf liquid to the stamp with a sponge.

Print it around the dancer and let dry.

Apply the gold leaf.

If this is your first time, you can first watch a video on You Tube.

Remove excess gold leaf with a coarse sponge.

Isn't that beautiful?

So pretty with the gold on the crackle background stamp.

This challenge is so much fun, 

it can be about theater, circus, show, tv, movies

and all kinds of other entertainment.

I'm curious to see what you come up with 

and hope to see your work in the challenge. 

Maybe you will be the new winner of new stamps. 

Good luck.
