Birthday card for a man.

 I made this card with distress ink Stormy sky and Faded jeans.

The stamps are from Studio light.

There ia a vintage/steampunk challenge at Lost Coast designs.

 Vintage and steampunk style is one of my favorites in stamping.

Beautiful old colors and romantic stamps.

Love it!!!! and Lost Coast Designs has a lot of stamps in this style.

This time I made a double tag in vintage style for the challenge DT.

What I used:

LCD stamps:

Pieces of calligraphy,

Labels,

Butterflys,

Cracle background.

Stencil Ornament. 

van hobbyshop Sandra.

1 paper doily

Large tag 13x26,5

Small tag 8x15,5

Versa magic perfect plumeria

Distress ink,

Victorian velvet

Aged mahogany

seedless preservers

Markers in the same colors.

I used waterbased.

To start, make a puddle of Victorian velvet and some water, run the large tag through it.

Now, using an ink blender tool and a stencil, apply the large ornaments. 

One on the top left and one bottom right.

Spray some water on it and dab it off with some tissue paper.

I did this because I wanted to blur the ornaments a bit.

Stamp here and there with Aged mahogany and the crackle background.

Stamp here and there with Victorian velvet

 and a stamp from the pieces of calligraphy sheet in the background.

Stamp the beautiful lady from the labels sheet with the Versa magic on the small tag.

Dry it well with the heat tool.

Make a mask and mask the lady.

With an ink blender and Victorian velvet we make the border pink.

With the crackle background and Aged mahogany add some crackles along the edge.

Remove the mask and color the lady with the markers.

Collor the doily with the Victorian velvet and the seedles preserves

With the ink blender tool and seedles preserves we darken the edges of both tags.

Finally 2 butterflies stamped with Victorian velvet.

Now you can glue everything on its place.

I hope you enjoy participating in the challenge.

You can also participate with stamps from other brands. And you can win new stamps.

So join the fun and join in.

It's Christmas in July at Lost Coast designs and Carmen's Veranda stamps.

The new challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps is

Christmas in july.

Sometimes I really don't know what to make.

In that case I take a good look around me.

Sometimes it is an object and sometimes a color that inspires me.

Well today I was eating delicious sweets with a somewhat strange color.

And yes, there it came, 

I had this translucent Christmas ball lying around for so long, 

so now I made something with it, in the color of the sweets.

At LCD/CV it's Christmas in July challenge, so I made it for the challenge.

Used materials:

The beautiful LCD stamps.

Praying angel.

Pieces of calligraphy

Misc words.

A die with holly leaves.

Colorbox chalk Creamy brown.

Stazon Timber brown.

Distress ink Walnutstain.

Distress ink Pumice stone.

A small star punch.

Gold glitter.

Transparent christmas ball.

Some ribbons.

Start by drawing a circle of the ball.

Cut this out, on the inside of the pencil line.

Check first if it fits properly.

Stamp the praying angel with the colorbox ink.

Apply the ink all around with an ink blender and the Distressink pumice stone.

Now take the smallest stamp from the sheet Pieces of Calligraphy.

This one has super small letters and that's what it takes to fill the little empty spaces.

Stamp with the Distress ink Pumice stone.

Because I wanted to let the Christmas Miracle pop,

I stamped it with Stazon Timber Brown.

Apply the ink all around with an ink blender and the Distressink Walnut stain.

Die cut the holly branch.

Color it the same as the circle with the inblender.

Apply some gold glitter to the leaves and berries.

Apply foam tape to the holly branch and stick it at the bottom of the circle.

Punch some small stars.

Apply gold glitter on top and glue the stars around the angel.

Now you can assemble the bauble.

I covered the seam with a gold ribbon and made a bow on it.

But you can decorate according to your own ideas.

I hope you enjoyed it, and feel free to join the challenge at Lost Coast designs. 

You can even participate with other brands, as long as there is stamping.

Good luck and see you next time.
