Lost coast designs challenge 116, Winged things.

                                                            Hello everybody, Riet here.

How are you all doing. 
Hope you are crafting so you can join our challenge.
For this challenge things with wings, I made this dragonfly.
And this is how I made it.

 This is what I used:
Large florish  
Dragonfly from the More bugs set.
I am a child of the moon
Glimmermist
Key lime pie
Haunted shadows
Caribbian blue
Distress Micro glaze
Stazon black
white gellpen
Distress seedless preserves
Markers or pencils (what your preference is)

 How its made.
I really love the glaze resist and use it a lot.
Just love the effect with ink on water base.
And its so easy to use and with great results.
So start with the glaze on your florish stamp.
I stamped it random on the paper.
Then I sprayed the glimmer mist.

It looks so jummie, and the colors blend so well together.
And I love the shimmer of the glimmermist.
Let it dry, I did not use the heattool this time.
The paper was very wet, and I did not want to lose the drops effect.

And how pretty is this and so easy.
Now we stamp the dragonfly on a thin peace of paper.
And color it as you like.
You can take the same colors as the background, 
but it is also pretty when you use different colors.
That way the dragonfly pops more.
I often use a gelpen on my art.
Just love the effect, as specially on the wings of dragonfly's or butterfly's.
It gives it just that little bit special look.
I went along with stamping the Carmen Veranda's child of the moon frase.
Cut it in 4 pieces and hit the edges with the seedles precerves ink.
So you see that you can use a stamp in many different ways.
Now glue every thing on and your done.

Join The challenge
The team and I would love to see what you can make with wings.
Show us please, join the challenge, and than you have a chance to win some rubberstamps.

31 days of halloween day 21- Evil eye


 How are you all doing. 
Are you all alive?
Not even a vampire bite?
Well watch out than,
Because here comes a card with a little monster.
Dont let it bite you.
Hahahaha.

I used for this card: 
Stamps,
Evil eye,  http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/teri.html
Spiderwebs, http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/backgrounds.html
Door and window set, http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/sets_notpeople.html

Distress oxide: 
Black soot.
Wilted violet.
Spiced marmalade.
Fossilized amber.
Musterd seed.
Distress micro glaze
White gellpen.
Color pencils
Red marker
Stazon black


For the spiderweb background I dabbed the paper in distress oxide,
 musterd seed, fossilized amber and spiced marmelade.
Let it dry and then stamp with black stazon the spiderwebs.
I have turned the stamp repeatedly and stamped a lot of times over each other.

Now, for the peace with the evil eye stamp.
I positioned the evil eye so that the tree extends over the edges of the paper.
Masked him with masking tape.
On the window stamp you put some Distress micro glaze.
Stamp it behind the evil eye.
With distress oxide, Wilted violet, Spiced marmalade,
Fossilized amber and Musterd seed.
Make some puddles with the ink and water and pull the paper through.
You will see a faint print of the window, looks like a watermark.
Remove the mask and color the evil eye stamp. Mat both cards and glue them together.


Now I am very curious about what you will make for the challenge. 
So come on over and join our challenge.
Then you can win some rubber stamps.

Lost Coast designs & Carmens Veranda stamps challenge.

Hi there, Riet here with another jukebox card.

For this card I used the LCD Birds in tree's background stamp,
 and the Jukebox from Carmens Veranda.
I actually made this background for another card. 
But it was not so suitable for that card and I had not used it. 
So I found it very suitable for the vintage jukebox. 
I made the background with destress glaze resist.
And distress Walnut stain and Antique linen. 
I colored the jukebox with watercolor paint. 
I did the metal parts with a silver pen. 
Those parts seem to be made of chrome. 
Too bad it cannot be seen in the photo.
Add some accents with the white gel pen, then cut out and glue on. 
Hope you enjoyd the card. Dont forget to join our challenge.

Lost Coast Designs CHALLENGE #104 LET'S GO VEGETARIAN





The stamps I used, Sweater gnome and flower gnome with Florish.


Hi there, here a card from me, Riet.
This challenge is all about flowers, tree's, vegetables and fruits.

Today a card for the gnome love birds. 
I started with an actated sheet. I cut out a heart. 
Then I stained it with distress ink, seedless preserves, spiced marmalade and musterd seed. 
It is lightly sprayed with some water. 
I made a print on the paper with that. 
You can also use a gellyplate. Let it dry well. 
Masked the heart.
With distress micro glaze I made a stamp print around the heart with the florish. 
Then I sponged it with distress seedless preserves. 
I drew a line around the heart with a purple pencil. 
The gnomes stamped on thin paper and colored in pencil.
Cut them out and glue them on.
If you use a mat take white or very light gray. 
I made some stains on the edges with distress spiced marmalade. 
And on the corners I put that extra on. 
I loved making this card. 


I find the gnome stamps so versatile, you can use them for so many things.
For example, Valentine, a wedding, Christmas and just for fun.
You can probably think of a few yourself.
I hope I was able to inspire you.
Enjoy and come on over for the challenge.

Tag swap with distress micro glaze

Hi there, I made this tag for a little swap group.
I used Distress micro glaze, I really love that glaze.
It is a wonderful resist, and so easy to use.

vrijdag 22 mei 2020

With a stamping girlfriend I do a prompt swap. I love it, its always a surprise what two people make with the same prompt. This time: one color, watercolor paint-pencils-markers, cardboard, letters and numbers, and a tag. This is what I made.

Winged girl for the Myth and Magic challenge

Hello, LCD fans.
Today I want to show you my last contribution for this month.

It is for the Myth and Magic challenge.
Well I think this winged girl is very magical.
And here is a description of how I made her.

Watercolor paper 14cm x 20 cm,
Stazon timber brown, Distress ink, antique linen, seedless preserves, spiced marmalade, peacock feathers, broken china. Prima marketing vintage pastels watercolor paint. Distress glaze. Black cardstock.
A mask or stencil.
Nuvo aqua shimmer.

I started stamping the winged girl with stazon timber brown. Then with a finger with distress glaze around the stamp, only the outside edge. Then colored the winged girl with the watercolor paint. When it was completely dry I applied the entire stamp with a layer of distress glaze. I sponged the border around the stamp with Distress ink antique linen. Then placed the mask or stencil on the paper and go over it with a sponge with distress glaze.Then you take the 4 distress ink colors and rub some of them on your craft sheet. Spray a little bit of water on it and put your paper on it. You don't have to worry about your image, the distress glaze works as a resist. Let it dry well and matte with black cardboard.
Give the wings, dress and hairband a little bit off aqua shimmer. Have fun and join our challenge at
