Are you kidding me, challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

Today a vintage tag for the challenge at

 Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

I chose to work with pastel shades. 

I think that suits this sweet vintage girl.

I used LCD stamps,

Bubbles (girl stamp)

Pieces of calligraphy

Pieces of architecture

Butterfly set

Daisy florish

Misc words

Distressink,

Speckled egg

Victorian velvet

Shaded lilac

Old paper

Vintage photo

Archival coffie

Or any other dark brown ink will do.

Perfect resist (home made)

2 parts white glue 1 part water.

Start by spraying the perfect resist on a clear sheet.

Use a sponge to apply it to the stamp.

Stamp on your tag and let it dry.

You apply the ink with an ink blending brush.

You will then see the stamp prints appear.

Just like magic.

Love the result.

Use a spray to make some fine water drops on the ink.

Stamp the Daisy florish Diagonally across the corners.

Do so with the wordt "Fly". 

Use a sponge to darken the edges with Distressink Vintage photo.

Stamp the butterfly and girl, color them with the distress ink.

Cut them out and stick them on with foam tape.

The challenge "Are you kidding me" is about kids,

but can also be about funny things.

It's up to you how you interpret it.

The team would love to see your crafty things in the challenge.

Anything goes as long as it's stamped on.

You don't even have to use LCD/CV stamps.

Read all about it in the rules.

Have fun creating and I hope to see your art.

The challenge at Lost Coast designs is, Where's my hat.

Hello dear creative people, 

Today a card that is easy, so also for the beginning stampers.

These are the stamps I used.

LCD American gothic party.

LCD Doodle flowers background.

CV Kiss my ass.

Black inkpad and coloring pencils.

This card is really suitable for beginners and advanced.

I stamped the images with black ink.

Colored the American gothic image with Derwent inktense pencils. 

I kept the flower background black/white to get a nice contrast.

And I matted with bright colors to make it a nice whole.

So you see, a nice result with little effort.

And the text is so funny.

I love the texts of Carmens Veranda stamps.

They are so hilarious, and some are really daring.

Take a look there, you will be amazed.

what you like the most to color.

For the wings I used a die from Nellie Chiose,

How the card is made.

Take an 11x15 smooth paper,

 and apply the oxide Antique linen and Saltwater taffy as shown in the photo.

Take your stencil and apply it with the oxide Fossilized amber and Abondoned coral.

Stamp the butterflies with Abondoned coral in the yellow areas.

Stamp the border from the brushstrokes set with the Versafine.

Splatter with a brush and some Indian ink.

Draw a line along the edges with the black marker.

Put the background aside so it can dry well.

Stamp the manga girl with the black versafine.

Color her to your own taste.

When you are done with that you can cut her out.

Cut the die out of black paper and cut the die in half.

I do have a wings die, but I liked this one better.

Stamp the text and mat the card with yellow and black cardstock.

I stuck the manga girl on with foam tape. And with some glue I stuck the wings behind her back.

I'm curious what you're going to make with a hat.

Lost Coast Designs challenge, Where's my hat.

Hi crafters,

The new challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens veranda stamps is all about hats.

So I made a milkbox with 

the many moods of Mona stamp set. 

5 gorgeous stamps with the face of Mona Lisa.

What I used for this milk box:

Mona stamp set,

Single Mona,

Crackle background,

Long swirl.

Distress oxide:

Mermaid lagoon,

Wilted violet,

Cracked pistachio,

Musterd seed.

Versafine onyx black.

Acrylic paint spray bottles In the same colors as the oxides.

Color pencils or markers, what you like most.

Dutch DoBaDo  box art, milkbox.

Started with spraying the acrylic paints.

Once this is completely dry, 

we draw the template of the milk carton and cut it out and score the score lines.

With the crackle background 

you stamp pieces of the stamp here and there with the Distress oxides.

Using the long swirl and black ink we stamp all the top flaps of the milk carton.

Take thin paper and stamp with versafine the 4 mona's.

Colour them with markers or pencils.

Glue them on the box.

Now you can fold and glue the milk carton.

Punch a hole at the top and pull a ribbon through it.

And that's it for this time.

You probably have a stamp with a hat, 

but it can also be from other brands to participate in the challenge.

You then have a chance to win stamps of your choice.

Please read the rules to avoid disappointment.
