#Anything goes challenge, a key ring, for lost Coast Designs

Hello everyone, today a key ring.

Years ago I wrote an article for the Art Specially nr 13 page 60. A dutch stamp magazine that unfortunaly no longer exits.

The article was about stamping plastic key rings.

You know, those plastiscs where you can put a picture in.

So, I thought It would be nice to repeat that with the lovely stamp from LCD “Prom night”.

To start, remove the lid from the key ring and paint the key ring with black acrylic paint.

Of course we leave the window free of paint.

While the paint is drying, stamp the Prom night stamp twice with black stazon ink. Color them in, and add some accents with a white gel pen.

With the separate window you can draw around the faces of the girls.

Cut out and color them.

Now you apply the gold flaces to the black paint, leaving some black open so that you get a smudged effect.

Place both girls in the hanger and close the window.

Now you have a personal key ring, which is a very nice gift to give to someone.

Have fun creating and giving away or keeping yourself.

Don't forget to participate in our challenge and have a chance to win beautiful rubber stamps.

SanDee & Amelie's Steampunk challenge

This is one of my favorite blogs.
There is so much inspiration on the steampunk theme to find there.
So I joind the challenge for this month.
This peace of paper was left over from a die cut, Tim Holtz gearhead corner.

LCD's #105 Anything goes challenge

Hello everyone, Riet here. 

Today a tag with the lovely steampunk pig from LostCoast Designs.

First I colored the background with the 3 oxide and a little water. 

I did this with an A4 so that I can make some die cuts later. 

I let it dry well. 

When the paper dries well I print the text "when pig's fly" in a corner. 

Then I cut out a tag and the text. 

Then I ran the tag through the embossing folder.

With an inkblending tool I just touched the nails and metal edges and the edges of the tag and text with Oxid Aged mahogany.

Die cut the angle with the gears and the loose gears.

Color and cut the pig.

Now you can stick it the way you like it.

Well this is my contribution to the anything goes challenge. 

I am curious what you are going to make, let your imagination work. 

And you know that the more people participate, the bigger the prize gets. 

But most importantly HAVE FUN !!!!

Hello everyone,

Today a big card, with the lovely pixie "sleeping Lucy".

I sprayed the circle with glimmer mist, Carribian blue, Cosmos (pink) and Moonlight.

With distress ink, I sponged some faint mountains and a moon.

And with stazon black I stamped the shrubbery and added some accents with the white gel pen.

The pixie is stamped with stazon black and colored in with pencils.

Stamp the beautiful Carmens Veranda sentiment.

Love this one, it's such a magical saying.

With seedles preserves, I sponge the edge of the top half of the card.

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.

Indigoblu pen/pencil holder.

I had this pen holder in the cupboard for a long time. I thought it was time to do something with it.
So I went on my mobility scooter to the hobby shop. I saw these fantastic stamps from Indigoblu. And thought, these are perfect for the pen holder. And this is the result.

Ik had deze pen houder al heel lang in de kast staan. Ik vond het tijd om er nu eindelijk eens iets mee te doen. Dus ik op mijn scootmobiel naar de hobbywinkel. Ik zag daar deze fantastische stempels van Indigoblu. En dacht, deze zijn perfect voor de penhouder. En dit is dan het resultaat.

Challenge # 103 Christmas in July

Hello everyone, 

Funny, making Christmas cards in July.

Well I'm actually happy with it, then I'm definitely on time.

I used Megan's christmas bird

I started with the background.

I used light blue watercolor paint and plastic wrap.

So it looks like the ice on the window in winter.

Did the same with a piece of paper and green watercolor paint.

While drying I colored Megan's Christmas bird with pencils.

When the background has dried, 

I stamped with black stazon Megan's bird on the background.

Then cut the bird out and glued it on the background.

 With a die, I cut out the branches.

Glued the pearls with a hotfix and colored the lights and berries with a red marker.

Now some accents on the berries and lights and eye with the white gel pen.

I used a die for the “merry christmas” and black paper.

Then I sponged the edge of the card with black soot distressink.

Glued the card on a black mat and its done.

Hope you enjoyd this little tutorial.

You can still join the christmas in july challenge.

There is some stamping rubber to win.

                                            Have fun making your beautiful cards.

Today I will show you  a card with the beautiful florish stamp from Lost Coast Designs.

I took a die and cut two branches and sponge them with the 3 colors.

Stamped the florish with memento black.

I used posca pens to color the florish, yellow, pink and 2 greens.

And with a white and black posca I dotted the florish.

I really had to think about this card, making the background the star isn't that easy.

I am not used to that.

But I just like to work with my distress micro glaze, so of we go.

Stamps: LCD Birdsin trees, CV Moon child.

Distress glaze, distressink spun sugar, victorian velvet, gathered twigs.

Take a little spung and aply the glaze on to the stamp and stamp it on a piece of paper that is 5cm or 2 inch longer than the stamp.

Start sponging the bottem with spun sugar, work your way up with victorian velvet. And at the top gathered twigs. Its so magical to see the birds and trees show up, just love it.

I tore the bottom of the card and distresst it with gathered twigs and stampt the moon child stamp. Matt the card with a off white cardstock, and from the same cardstock I die cut the birds. Easy and swift.

Color pencils, or what color medium you like to use.

 

And now to work, dear stampers, have fun.

I first sprayed the 4 dylusion colors and let it dry. I used  an a4 so that I had some paper for the baloons and flags. I cut the flags twice and the baloons once.

Then used the DDBD masks with the paints. And cut a piece of paper 12cm x 20cm.

In the time it is drying I stamped with black stazon the clowns and colored them.

Now the background has dried I used a black and white color pencil

Around the bubbles and wyber masks.With some black distress I made the shadows on the flags and baloons. Now cut out the clowns and glue them on with the flags and baloons. I always matt my work, but it is not necessary.

 

Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial.

The new challenge over at Lost Coast Designs, #100 Celebrate.

Hi everyone, here a post from Riet for the Celebrate challenge.

Oh how I love these clowns, they are such great stamps.

And as specially with the celebrate theme for this challenge.

Lost Coast Designs Long nose clown and Pope clown.

Distressink, chipped saphire and barn door.

Acylic paints, red, white and dark blue.

Color pencils or markers, what ever will do it for you.

Dutch Doobadoo mask, stars.

I starded with the distressink colors chipped sapphire and barn door.

I wiped the ink over a craftsheet and sprayed some water on it.

I tryed to make one half red and one half blue.

Used a Dutch Doobadoo mask stars and some red and blue acrylic paint.

Red on the blue side and blue on the red side. Let it dry well.

Once its dry you slide the mask a few milimeters and go over the red and blue with a white paint (bump technic).

Let it dry well.

Now we stamp the pope clowns with stazon black on a piece of paper, and color them in and cut them out.

Pencils ore markers, what ever you like.

With a little star punch I made 3 stars en glittered them in red, white and blue.

With a little banner die, I cut a piece of left over paper and wrote “celebrate”.

Gleud the stars on a piece of whire. Now you can matt the background and glue all the pieces on.

So, I had a lot of fun making this celebration card, hope you do to.
