Gnome doorhanger for the gnome challenge at lost Coast Designs

Door hanger.

 Hello everybody, Riet here.

Today a post for the gnome challenge.

Just love those funny gnomes,

they are so adorable.

Here is a list what I used for this door hanger.

Flower Gnome

Sweater gnome

Keyhole

Versafine onyx black.

Distress oxide ground espresso, Iced spruce, Speckled egg.

  And distressink Walnut stain.

Some cream colored paper.

Stencil with numbers.

Waterspray.

Coloring pencils/markers.

White gellpen.

Red posca pen.

Fine sandingpaper.

  I started with the distress oxide speckled egg and Iced spruce.

I made stipes over the paper in one direction,

leaving some room between the stripes so the cream color shows.

When it is dry I scored some lines on the backside of the paper.

With the Ground espresso I made the score lines brown.

Then I sprayed just a little bit water on the lines.

This makes the lines run out a little bit.

Now you make the numbers with the stencil and the Ground espresso.

On a piece of paper you stamp the gnomes and the keyhole with versafine.

Color them and cut them out.

 

Cut out the doorhanger and gleu it on the cardboard doorhanger (Ikea).

Now you glue the male gnome on the keyhole and let his hat stick out.

Then you glue the keyhole on the doorhanger.

Glue the girl gnome and the keys on.Sand the edges with sandpaper, and you are done.

 LCD team would love to see what you make with a cute gnome.

Here is a link to lost Coast Designs gnomes, so cute.

Gnome challenge

Challenge #113,Things beginning with a B, Beautyful girl, Bird.

 B for Bird and beautyful girl.

How are you all, hope you are crafting.

Because this is a fun challenge.

Something with a letter B makes you look at a different way at your stamps.

So our team leader Gail made a great choise with this challenge.

For this card I used the lovely vintage stamp Annie.

http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/nostalgia.html

Also used the Victoriana set.

http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/sets_notpeople.html

And the dictionary stamps.

http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/dictionary.html

What I used for this card.

Resist fluid.

A stencil with numbers.

A stencil with ABC.

Stazon Timber brown.

Distress oxide:

Iced spruce.

Antique linen.

Ground espresso.

Abandoned coral

Versa magic  Malted Mauve.

White gellpen.

How to make this card.

First I made a mix with the distress oxide antique linen and iced spruce on my craftsheet.

Then I incorperated the colors here and there on the paper.

Keep the colors on the paper light.

Now put the numbers stencil on your background and spray the resist flued.

Dry this very well.

Now with some abandoned coral and a little water you make the rest of the color on the card.

Make sure that you still can see the other colors shine trough.

With the dictionary stamp and stazon timber brown we make some prints. 

I chose to stamp it without the big word on top, but that is for you to decide.

The corner stamp is the stamp from the Victoriana set.

I stamped it half on the edge of the paper and made a corner stamp of it.

Stamped it with the stazon timber brown.

The medalion with the face is stamped with the Versamark Malted Mauve.

Now take a thin piece of paper and stamp Annie with Stazon timber brown.

Color the image with markers or pencils.

Glue her on the card and ad some highlights with the white gellpen.

The word “bird” is written with a stencil.

With the Maulted Mauve I made some splashes on the card.

Glue the card on 2 layers of cardstock, and your done.

 Now the team would love to see what you make with the letter B.

So join our challenge, and maybe you will win some rubber.

condolence card/condoleance kaart

 Today a condolens card. Made with distressink Iced spruce and victorian velvet. 

Also used Distress micro glaze and Derwent graphite pencils.

I tryed to make it vintage looking.

                             

                                               

New challenge to start the new year. Challenge #113 something beginning with B.

                         Hi everybody, first I wish all my visitors a very happy and healthy 2021.

This is my first Lost Coast Designs post for the new challenge.

And its all about the letter B.

So I made this slimline card with the big raven with tree branches stamp.

This stamp is a big one with a height of 3.25 inch.

Love that, I also used the moonface, from the sheet Just faces.

 

 I first sponged with distress oxide, started at the bottum of the card with Musterd seed.

I worked my way up with spiced marmelade, barn door and the last, aged mahogany.

 I stamped the raven with Versamark clear and black glitter embossing powder.

Love that effect on the raven.

I took my black ink and painted the branches with a paint brush.

But for the smaller branches I used an old ink pen.

I stamped the moonface with black stazon.

Now I wanted to fade out the moon a bit, so I went over it with a blending tool and aged mahogany.

It gives it a bit of a misterious look.

 

 I did the same at the bottom of the card.

I hope you liked this little tutorial.

I would love to see what you make for the B challenge.

Please join us at Lost Coast designs, there are prices to win.

Indigiblu's prachtige zeepaardje.

Hallo allemaal, 

Ja zeker, ik heb een kaart maken met de schitterende stempel van Indigoblu.

Ik ben begonnen met een achtergrond met distress oxide, victorian velvet, chipped sapphire,

speckled egg en tattered rose.

Ik heb deze kleuren opgebracht met een smalle brayer.

Dan heb ik passende kleuren tombow markers gebruikt om in te kleuren.

Van elke kleur een lichte en een donkere.

Met Wow embossing poeder heb ik de krullen met luchtbellen gestempeld.

Ook de tekst heb ik met dezelfde embossing poeder gestempeld.

Dat geeft nou net dat beetje extra aan de kaart.

Met een tombow marker heb ik de krullen en luchtbellen gekleurd.

Het zeepaardje heb ik gestempeld op aquarel papier, ingekleurd met de tombow markers.

Het zeepaardje uitknippen/snijden en op lijmen.

Voor de afwerking nog even hier en daar aanstippen met een witte gelpen.

En dat was het voor deze keer.

Ik hoop dat jullie het leuk vonden, en veel plezier met de hobby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy birthday to my lovely daugther.

 My daugthers favorite flower is the sweetpea. 

So for her 35 birthday I made this card with the lovely sweetpea stamp.
