Round and round challenge at Lost Coast Designs and Carmens Veranda stamps.

Hi stampers, I made this wooden disk for the new challenge with the topic round.

I used the large Elk skull stamp from Lost Coast Designs.

I stamped directly onto the wooden disc and colored it with Derwent Inktense. 

It wasn't easy to color on rough wood, but I managed it anyway.

Well you understand what's round, right?

The dream catchers are round, but the wooden disk is also round.

And the annual rings in the wood are also round.

Have you also made something round and used stamps?

Then join the challenge, you can even do it with stamps from other brands.

Maybe you will be the winner of new stamps.

So hop on over and join the challenge.

# 159 "Winged things" over at lost Coast Designs/ Carmens Veranda

 Hello, yes there is a new challenge at, 

Lost Coast designs and Carmens Veranda stamps.

"Winged things"

I really like challenges,

So if you're interested, come join the fun and join the challenge.

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

You can even participate with stamps from other brands, 

but you prefer our stamps.

Please read the rules to avoid disappointment.

Today my contribution to the challenge.

I drew a mixed media portrait.

 And with my red-haired granddaughter in mind, this came out.

I worked with Van Gogh watercolor paint and Derwent inktense pencils.

Everything has been done with the watercolor except her hair.

I colored it with the inktense pencils.

I stamped the background with 

LCD Brushstrokes, Pieces of calligraphy and Pieces of architecture.

And the butterflies are from LCD Butterfly set.

The beautiful text "Art gives my soul wings to fly" is from Carmens Veranda.

These are the inks I used for stamping.

Versafine onyx black for the butterfly.

Archivel ink coffee.

Distressink Rusty hinge, Twisted citron and Evergreen bough.

I hope you will join the challenge, it is for everyone and it doesn't matter if you are beginner or advanced.

That's it for now, I wish you a nice day.

Love the "Under the sea" challenge at Lost Coast designs.

 Today my second contribution to the "Under the sea" challenge at Lost Coast Designs. 

The challenge runs until the end of the month, so there's still plenty of time to participate.

And it is even allowed to participate with other brands.

But now the step by step of this card.

I have used these stamps,

Crackle background 5,

Spikeyfish and Anchorfish.

Furthermore I have used:

Dylusions ink spray, Calypso teal, Vibrant turquoise and Funky fuchsia.

Distressink Rusty hinge,

Versafine black onyx,

Color pencils I have used Derwent intense,

but you can decide for yourself how you color the fish.

White pigment ink.

white gel pen,

White posca marker.

Black fineliner that is waterproof.

Stencil with cirkel holes in it.

This is how I made it.

First I sprayed the 3 Dylusionsprays on a sturdy paper.

I did that on 2 sheets, 1 for the card and 1 for the plants I cut later with a die.

With the versafine black I stamped the fish in the places where I want them.

 I also stamp them on thin paper to color them in.

For the background I used the crackle stamp and the white pigment ink.

Use only part of the stamp and stamp around the fish.

With a stencil with small circles I drew the bubbles.

and remove some of the ink with water.

With the posca I drew a line on the bubbles as a reflection of the light.

Now we are going to color the fish and give accents with the white gel pen. 

Cut them out and glue them to the fish on the card.

I cut out the waterplants with a die on the Big Shot.

Some I gave an orange color with the distress ink Rusty Hindge.

Glue the plants to the card.

Mat the card with black cardstock.

I must say that I absolutely love the fish, so detailed and so much fun to color.

Well I hope you liked it, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

And don't forget to join the challenge, you can win new stamps.

You can find the rules here.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

#137 Think pink, challenge at lost Coast designs.

Hi stampers,

For my contribution to the "Pink or shades of red challenge"

I immediately thought of the sweetest love couple I know.

Lost Coast designs Frank and Franks bride.

Oh they are so cute and totally in love with each other.

And I used the door from the door and Window set.

We're going to start by stamping and masking Frank.

Then we stamp his bride, but notice that her hand is on Frank's masked hand.

Now we also mask Frank's bride.

Stamp the door of the Door and window set from LCD.

I colored the card with Derwent Inktense pencils.

But you can color it with whatever you want.

The team of lost Coast designs would love to see your take on this theme.

Red and pinks, just love it.

Show us, and maybe you wil win some new stamps.

Goodluck.....

Go to the challenge.
