Are you kidding me, challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

Today a vintage tag for the challenge at

 Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

I chose to work with pastel shades. 

I think that suits this sweet vintage girl.

I used LCD stamps,

Bubbles (girl stamp)

Pieces of calligraphy

Pieces of architecture

Butterfly set

Daisy florish

Misc words

Distressink,

Speckled egg

Victorian velvet

Shaded lilac

Old paper

Vintage photo

Archival coffie

Or any other dark brown ink will do.

Perfect resist (home made)

2 parts white glue 1 part water.

Start by spraying the perfect resist on a clear sheet.

Use a sponge to apply it to the stamp.

Stamp on your tag and let it dry.

You apply the ink with an ink blending brush.

You will then see the stamp prints appear.

Just like magic.

Love the result.

Use a spray to make some fine water drops on the ink.

Stamp the Daisy florish Diagonally across the corners.

Do so with the wordt "Fly". 

Use a sponge to darken the edges with Distressink Vintage photo.

Stamp the butterfly and girl, color them with the distress ink.

Cut them out and stick them on with foam tape.

The challenge "Are you kidding me" is about kids,

but can also be about funny things.

It's up to you how you interpret it.

The team would love to see your crafty things in the challenge.

Anything goes as long as it's stamped on.

You don't even have to use LCD/CV stamps.

Read all about it in the rules.

Have fun creating and I hope to see your art.

Hello dear blog visitor.

Christmas, before you know it, it's already here.

So you better start making your Christmas cards early.

And then you can immediately participate in the challenge and perhaps become the winner.

You can even participate with stamps from other brands.

So that should work, right?

And now the tutorial for this card.

LCD party words

Versafine onyx black

Distress oxyde Barn door and Lucky clover

Americana acrylic paint,

Yellow green

Bahama blue

Dessert turquoise

White acrylic paint or marker

Black marker

I started by making a few backgrounds with the 3 colors of acrylic paint.

I did that with the brayer.

Roll out the colors until you are satisfied with the result.

If you dont have a brayer you kan use a brush or spunge.

The brush strokes sheet shows the two edges I used.

I stamped the first one with the oxide barn door.

And the second one over it with the Versafine onyx black.

I make splashes with the white acrylic marker.

Set it aside to dry.

Stamp the baby and the angelwings with the versafine.

Color with pencils or markers, whatever you like best.

Take a piece of background and stamp the text on it.

Use a thin fineliner to scribble an edge under the words.

Stamp on the right side the same as the border of the card.

Make a black border around it with a black marker.

Glue the baby angel and the text onto the card.

Use distress oxide lucky clover and a brush,

 to create shadows around the baby angel.

 I made a print over the left side of the tag.

let it dry.

In the meantime,

I cut out a frame with a piece of paper that I colored with Speckled egg.

I darkened the openings in the die with Dusty Concord.

I stamped the text from Carmens Veranda stamps and a border from the 

brush strokes sheet with Distress oxide chipped sapphire.

Did the same with the roses stamp.

Now for the portrait of Frida Kahlo.

This is a nice example of how you can also use part of a stamp.

I only used her head and it fit perfectly in the frame.

I made some splatters on the tag with the white paint.

The mat of the tag is made of lilac paper.

The edges are sponged with chipped sapphire.

Now just attach the frame with Frida on it and add some pearls for decoration.

Challenge at Lost Coast Designs. Stamp on patterned paper. (Design paper)

Today a card in vintage style.

I used the Labels set,

and the new floral set from Lost Coast designs.

The saying is from Carmens Veranda.

Carmen's Veranda has a whole page full of the funniest and quirky sayings.

Really worth taking a look. 

Also used: 

Distress ink Antique linen,

Archival coffee

Leaves and branch die cut.

Brown ink to spletter.

Now how the card is made.

I started with a sheet of printed paper.

I stamped the label with the lady using Archival coffee.

I colored a piece of paper with Distressink antique linen.

I stamped the label with the archival coffee.

And I made the edges a bit darker with it.

Did the same with a piece of paper for the saying.

The same goes for the flowers.

These come in 4 sizes, I used the two smallest sizes.

Colored the flowers with a waterbased marker and cut them out.

Die cut some branches.

The label and text were stuck on with some foam tape.

Colored some details with the markers.

And decorated the card with the twigs and flowers.

A few more brown ink splatters and then it's done.

I hope you liked it and that you will participate the challenge.

You can be the winner of new rubber stamps.
