#125 Christmas in July challenge over at Lost Coast Designs.

Hi stampers, here a tutorial from me, (Riet), hahaha.

For the christmas in july challenge, 

I made this wooden heart wall hanger.

I used the  plaid pants Santa from Cramen's Veranda.

To start, I painted the heart dark brown with acrylic paint.

When the paint was dry I used crackle medium from Americana Decor.

I let this dry overnight.

I'd rather not do it with the embossing tool.

I don't think the cracks work very well this way.

When the crackle medium was dry I went over it with a beige/sand colored acrylic paint.

I also let it air dry.

I love the way it turned out.

In the meantime I colored the Santa with distressink.

I used these colors for this:

distressink,

For his suit, Shabby shutters, Rustic Wilderness.

Face, Tattered rose, Cheeks Aged mahogany.

Bond edges, Antique linen, Pumice stone.

Stripes on Santa's pants, Antique linen.

Santa's boots, Gathered twigs.

Santa's bag, Fired brick.

I colored a sheet of paper with Shabby shutters, Rustic Wilderness.

And a sheet colored with Fired Brick.

I did this by applying ink to a craft sheet and spraying it with water. 

Then you pass the paper through it.

With a number of dies I made the poinsettia and the holly leaves.

I did the same with the bow and the merry christmas.

Color the edges with a brush.

Colored the berries with a red marker.

And punched the heart of the poinsettia with a yellow piece of paper.

Now put it together and you're done.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial, feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.

Christmas 24 challenge

#122 Under the sea challenge over at Lost Coast designs.

Hallo everyone, 

Today I made a wall hanger with the steampunk mermaid stamp. 

She is such a sweetheart, just love her. 

I made the wall hanger in aqua colors, but it is of course possible in any color that you like. 

With dylusions ink sprays I colored a piece of gauze. 

I colored the little pearls with alcohol ink. 

While it is drying I colored the mermaid with pencils and cut it out.

I had the rest of the decorations lying around for years, so a great opportunity to use them. 

I glued everything together. 

Then I added some fine glitter with the Nuvo glitter gloss. 

It is a pity that it cannot be seen in the photo, because it shines very nicely. 

The team and I are curious about what you make with this theme. 

There is still time to participate and have a chance to win a prize. 

So don't be shy and show us your work by joining our challenge.

Good luck

# 116 Lost Coast Designs "Winged things" challenge.

 Hi there, this is a interesting challenge.

Winged things could be enything. 

A angel, a fairy or a insect.

And a lot more.

I chose for the winged girl, love her so much.

I made a wallhanger, I had the flower embellishments for ages.

So I thought I would use them in this wallhanger.

And this is how I made it.

What you need:

The winged girl stamp.

Distress ink, old paper, vintage photo and frayed burlap.

Stazon Black

Americana deep burgundy acrylic paint.

Something to color the winged girl, I used watercolor based markers.

But you can use any coloring medium you like.

3 kinds of design papers

corrugated cardboard

Some dark brown bister to water down.

Nuvo aqua shimmer, glitter gloss

ribbon, lace and pearls

paper flower embellishments.

Border punch

Bister natural

And this is how I made it.

I started with the designpaper with the music notes.

 I had to make it look older.

I did that with an ink blender tool and distress ink old paper.

With the brown paint I made some splashes on the paper.

Now for the second layer you smuch the corrugated cardboard 

with the frayed burlap and vintage photo.

 Paint some of the Americana Burgundy on the corrugated cardboard.

Not every where, keep some spots the natural color.

Now repeat the distressink.

Now for the 3 layer.

Because I was going for the vintage look I made a lace border with the punch.

This I did on the bottum and top of the design paper.

With a blending tool and Frayed burlap I smuched the borders and sides of the paper.

Now the last layer.

 I tore the edges of the paper and with a distresstool I ruffeld them a bit.

Now you take the bister natural and a little jar.

water down the bister and with a paintbrush you paint the edges.

Now its time to stamp and color the winged girl.

As you see on the picture my first lady was with orange and yellow wings.

But I did not like that, so I changed that later on.

Color the girl and as you see I use all kinds of brands markers,

I dont care about the brand, but i do care about the color.

I always want my colors to match well, and I think thats more importend then the brand.

When you are done with the coloring we can put everything together.

You can do like I did, but you also can do what you like yourself.

As a final touch I give the winged lady some glitters on her wings with the nuvo aqua shimmer.

Hope you liked it and have fun with creating your wallhanger.

Dont forget to show us your lovely crations on the challenge blog.

And maybe your are the next winner of some new stamps.

Lost Coast Designs 111 challenge, Festive fun.

 

                                                               Yes, christmas is coming.

Love this time of the year.

So I made a wallhanger.

 I used,

Plaid pants Santa

Checkerboard border

Watercolor paper, 10,5 x 14,8cm  4,1 x 5,8 inches

Stazon midnight blue and Jet black

Distressink vintage photo and antique linen

Color pencils

Silver gellpen

I started with the piece of watercolorpaper.

I Stamped the santa on the paper and stamped a mask.

Mask the santa and sponge with the antique linen the card.

Use the vintage photo to ad shadow.

Remove the mask and color the santa.

Color the star and the buttons on his boots with the silver gellpen.

Now for the borderstamp

Take a long piece of paper and stamp the border 4 times with the stazon midnight blue.

Sponge it with the antique linen.

I made some shadow in the corners of the checkers with the vintage photo.

Now make a frame of the border around the card.

I glued 4 hotfix stars and added the chain for hanging.

 I loved making this hanger.

And I really think the checkerd border finished it off.

I love to work with borders, I use them a lot.
