The current challenge at Lost Coast Designs is.....Birds!

 What a nice challenge this is.

Who doesn't love birds.

For this challenge I used the stamps:

Raven with tree branches.

Door and window.

Brush strokes.

Grunge tree.

Misc words for Fly.

This is a stampsheet with individual words and I must say, I use them a lot.

What else did I use:

Stazon midnight blue.

Distress ink,

Evergreen bough,

Peacock feathers,

Twisted citron,

Mowed lawn.

Versamark.

Gold embossing powder.

Blonde moments EP Savory Sky Iridescent,

White gel pen.

Blue and green colored pencils or markers, whatever you prefer.

How I made it.

I started with the 4 distress colors on the craft sheet and a little bit of water.

I ran the paper through that and made ink spots.

I stamped the edges with a stamp from the brushstrokes sheet,

 and Stazon midnight blue.

I forgot to photograph the next step.

But that is not difficult to do.

Take a thin paper and stamp the Gothic window

 with the stazon midnight blue and color it with the pencils or markers.

Stamp the window on the background as well.

Cut out the colored window and glue it to the stamped print on the card.

Give the window some accents with the white gellpen. 

Stamp the Raven with the Versamark and 

sprinkle the dark blue embossing powder on top.

 

Use a heattool to melt the embossingpowder,

And now you see the beautifull dark blue shine.

Just look how beautiful this dark blue color is.

Now we move on to the grunge tree.

The grunge tree has a frame and I didn't want to stamp it.

So I covered it with tape.

The stamp was inked with Versamark.

Remove the tape before making the print.

Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and use the heat tool to melt it.

I did the edge of the card with my finger. 

Press your finger on the versamark and swipe along the edges.

Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and use the heat tool to melt it.

With the stazon midnight blue the word "Fly" is stamped here and there.

In the window I gave the glass some shade with a dark blue pencil.

And some white accentswith the gellpen on the stone frame of the window.

Hope you liked this tutorial.

Challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda blog. Woman, (especially Frida Kahlo).

For my DT project for this challenge,

 I chose the Frida skull.

I had an unused background lying around,

 and I thought it was suitable for this card.

What I used:

LCD Frida skull
LCD Pieces of Calligraphy 

Chipped sapphire

Spiced marmelade

Saltwater taffy

Evergreen bough

Black soot

WOW embossingpowder Cake, WL74r(OM)

Versamark 

Versafine onyx black

Vellum or Parchment paper

Stencil with flower stems 

Hobbyshop Sandra

Die, Nellie's choise vintasia frames 

Color pencils or markers,

How I made it:

To start, we use the distress inks and

 water to make some puddles of ink on the craft sheet.

We dab the paper on that.

Dry it with a heat tool.

We dab black soot on the stencil and spray it with some water.

Now place the stencil with the ink side on the background.

The intention is that you get a faint print, so not on the entire paper black ink.

The colored background should show through.

Take an ornament stamp from the Pieces of Calligraphy set.

Stamp the top left and bottom right corners with Versamark.

Sprinkle the WOW cake embossing powder and melt it with the heat tool.

I wanted to see the colors of the background in the embossing powder.

So it may be that a different color embossing powder is better for you.

With versafine onyx black we now stamp the Frida stamp.

We color the stamp with pencils or markers.

What you prefer.

Cut out the Frida skull and stick foam tape on the back.

Die cut the ornament from the vellum.

Glue the ornament on the card and the Frida skull on top.

Matt on black cardstock.

I hope you liked it.

Get started now and join the challenge.

Maybe you are the winner of new rubberstamps.

Challenge #130 All about the sentiments

 Hi there Riet here,

Today a card that is about the sentiment.

So I kept the environment of the text calm.

I used the Florish (large) with gold embossing powder.

A nice stamp that you can use in so many ways.

And of course my favorite sentiment from Carmen's Veranda, Child of the moon.

I started by applying 2 colors of ink to the background by running the card through ink with water.

Stamp the florish with versamark and sprinkle the print with the gold embossing powder.

Heat the embossing powder with the heat tool.

Colored the florish with pink and green watercolor paint and stamped the sentiment with a dark pink.

I hope you join our challenge, would be so much fun!

And you have a chance to win stamps.

Please read the rules to avoid misunderstandings.

Until next time and have fun stamping.

This moment, werken met de Distress Marker Spritzer en Ecoline stiften.

  Hallo beste lezers,

Soms begin ik aan een nieuw werk met een plan in mijn hoofd.

Zo ook vandaag, ik wilde gaan werken met veel achtergrond stempels.

Maar opeens, zag ik hoe mooi de spetters op de achtergrond werden.

 Ik vond het eigenlijk zonde om daar overheen te stempelen.

Dus plan aan gepast.

Ik zal eerst een lijst geven wat ik allemaal gebruikt heb.                

Helaas is op deze foto de oranje glitter niet te zien, maar op de foto hier onder wel.

Tim Holtz marker spritzer.

Mandala stempel, Creative expressions.

Snipart softboard "This Moment".

Versamark clear embossing ink pad.

Wow embossingpoeder met glitter.

Distress oxide Spiced Marmelade.

Ecoline Brushpen 602-237-205-602

en de Ecoline blender.

Aquarel papier.

Zwart a4 om te matten.

Standaard wit a4 papier 160 gram

Versafine onyx black.

Papieren doily.

Heattool.

En zo heb ik de kaart gemaakt.

Ik ben begonnen met de papieren doily als masker te gebruiken.

Met de spritzer en de brushpennen heb ik een nevel aan spetters op het papier gezet.

Ongeveer zo ziet het eruit als je de doily verwijder.

Dan spray je wat water erop, en dat laat je aan de lucht drogen.

Dus niet met de heattool.

In de tijd dat de kaart ligt te drogen kan je de snipart kleuren met de distress oxide.

Droog goed met de heattool.

Met Versamark clear insmeren en de emossing glitter poeder er op strooien.

Verhit met de heat tool.

Stempel de mandala met Versafine onyx black.

Kleur hem in met de Ecoline brushpen.

Mat de kaart en als laatste lijm je de text op.

En klaar is de kaart.

Veel plezier met deze tutorial en tot de volgende keer.

#115 Red and Gold challenge for Lost Coast Designs

 

 

Red gold, Pope clown

 Hi there, here is my second card for the red and gold challenge.

These are the stamps I used.
Pope clown, http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/fantocci.html
Florish, http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/flourishes.html
Happily ever after, https://www.carmensveranda.com/clearstamps5all.html
I used only the last sentence of this stamp.
Carmens veranda has a lot of words and phrases clear stamps.
They are spectacular and some are even a bit cheeky, love them all.
So if you have the time, take a look, I am sure you have a good laugh.
https://www.carmensveranda.com/clearstamps5all.html
 
What I used for this card.
Brusho brilliant red.
Gold glitter embossingpowder.
Black Stazon
Red marker.
Gold ink.
Versamark clear.
 
I started with the florish by stamping it with versamark clear.
Embost it with the gold glitter embossingpowder.
Them I sprayd with water and brusho brilliant red.
Be careful, this color is really intense.
Dry it with the heattool.
With a smal brush I painted some of the brusho in the open parts of the florish.
Now cut it in four pieces.
Save a little piece and stamp the sentiment the same as the florish.
Only stamp "happily ever after".
Stamp the Pope clown with the stazon black.
Color him with the red marker.
I have used gold ink, but you can also use a gold balpoint or something else.
Glue the parts on a white card and matt with black.
Have fun with stamping and please show us what you make in red and gold.
Join our challenge and maybe you will be the next winner.

 

Even snel een kaartje posten.

Deze heb ik al een hele tijd geleden gemaakt en kan ik nu dus even snel laten zien.

Ik heb weinig tijd gehad om te stempelen.

Deze tijd is natuurlijk erg druk in onze winkel.

Na de feestdagen hoop ik weer eens heerlijk te kunnen stempelen.

Glazen sneeuwbal / glass snowglobe

Met deze kaart kan ik meedoen met de challange van "Wednesday stampers" Onderwerp is glas en "Theme Thursday" onderwerp is blauw.

Dus deze kaart valt in beide catagorieën.

Kerstmis

Ja mensen, ik weet het.........

Kerst kaarten in Augustus.

Tja, ik kon het niet laten, ik maakte er eentje, en de rest rolde er achteraan.

Het zijn kaarten die je makkelijk en snel kunt maken.

Dus ideaal voor die mensen die er een heleboel moeten maken.
