New month, new challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda stamps.

 

Hello stampers, 

The new monthly challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps is a color challenge. 

I just love playing with colors.

Here is a tutorial for this card.

  

Materials needed.

Stamps.

CV-clocksquare

LCD- steampunk bicycle lady

Nellie Snellen 3d Embossingfolder uurwerken/clockworks.

Distress Oxide Peacock feathers.

Versa Magic Pumpkin spice.

Any spray ink with shimmer,

I used Tattered angels.

Color pencils, I used Derwent colorsoft. 

Foamtape.

White paper.

How to make the card.

Cut a piece of white paper 14cm x 14cm.

With the Distress Oxide Peacock feathers,

 and an inkblender tool you make different spots of turquoise.

The remaining white spaces you spray the glimmermist. 

Put it aside and let it dry.

The shine is not visible in the photo,

But it shines beautifully.

Take a white paper of 7.7cm x 7.7cm.

Stamp with the Versa Magic Pumpkin spice the clock square.

Let it dry well, then the ink is fade resistant.

Color in the shadows with Derwent colorsoft.

Repeat this process with the Steampunk bike girl stamp.

On a small piece of paper you write or stamp the text.

Make the edge turquoise, and shade a bit with pencil.

Matt it on a piece of white paper.

When sticking on all the parts I used foam tape to give everything a bit of depth.

Matt on a white card base.

And that was the card, actually quite easy, don't you think?

I hope you enjoyed it, and maybe you want to join the challenge too.

You then have a chance to win new stamps, and who wouldn't want that?

Hello dear blog visitors.

Today a card for the "are you kidding me" challenge.

I chose the beautiful praying angel stamp from LCD.

What do you need to make this card?

A acrylic block, mine is heart shaped.

Iron work border.

CV Daisies in my hair.

Black watergroof inkpad.

Distress ink and distress oxide:

Peacock feathers,

Worn lipstick,

Seedles preserves.

Color pencils, I used Derwent Intense.

I started by putting the 3 colors of distress ink on the acrylic block,

 and spraying it with some water.

Print the block on the paper.

I did the same but with a clear plastic sheet.

Bend the sheet then you can make a nice stripe pattern with the 3 colors of ink.

I drew a line around the heart with a pencil.

Using the 3 colors of distress oxide, 

stamp the background with the text stamp, the swirl and the circles.

On the bottem stamp de Ironworks border.

Stamp the flowers and color them and cut them out.

Do the same with the praying angel.

Make sure theat you have 3 sizes flowers.

Color the border and see where you want to stamp the text in the heart.

Make some spletters with the seedles preserves ink.

Place the flowers loose on the heart,

 so that you can estimate where the text should go.

Stamp the daisy text and glue the angel on and than the flowers.

Matt the card and your finishend.

The challenge runs until the end of May.

So there are still a few days left to participate.

Maybe you will be our new winner.

These are the stamps I used.

This card is really suitable for beginners and advanced.

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.
