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  

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

Dragonfly from the More bugs set.

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

I am a child of the moon

http://www.carmensveranda.com/clearstamps5all.html

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.

Read the rules first and join us with this lovely challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

# 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Then around the window with salty oceaan, chipped sapphire

  and on the edges with black soot.
