Day 17 Lost Coast designs 31 days of Halloween. Cats and dogs

 

Hello all,

The second part of the 31 day halloween challenge at Lost Coast Designs has started.

Now its Halloween with cats and dogs.

This is so much fun!!

Now for the explanation of my contribution.

I used the door and window set and the Devil in disguise stamp.

Stamp the Devil cat and the windows with a permanent ink.

Mask off the cat.

Because I can't draw at all, I used a stencil with flames.

I drew this in pencil.

The rest I colored with Derwent Intense pencils.

I covered the devil's horns and wings with a red posca marker. 

And sponged the edges with Distress ink black soot.

Did the top extra so it would look like smoke.

And that was about it.

Seems difficult but it isn't, give it a try.

If you have a nice stamp with a dog or cat, make something Halloween like with it.

Then you can join the challenge.

And you might even win a prize.

You can also use other stamp brands, so join in.

#153 at Lost Coast Designs blog is the 31 days of Halloween challenge.

Hi there, 

Today I made a tag with the Long swirl in the background and the white nose sugar skull.

I love to color with my aqua markers, but I made the background with watercolor paint.

Here is a step by step explanation.

I stamped the white nose skull with Versafine onyx black.

I then colored the skull with aqua markers.

Then I painted the background with 3 colors of watercolor paint.

I lifted the paint with the long swirl stamp and water.

With distress pine needles I stamped the long swirl along the skull.

I also made some splashes on the tag with white acrylic paint.

Do not forget to cover the skull.

I made the edges of the tag dark with distressink black soot.

Staple a ribbon to it and you're done.

We as a team would love it if you would join our challenge,

 at Lost Coast Designs and Carmens Veranda stamps.

You are free to participate with whichever brand of stamps you want.

But read the rules first to avoid disappointment.

So I hope to see your name there, and maybe you'll even win new stamps.

Lost Coast designs challenge #153, 31 days of Halloween.

Hi everyone, do you also like a challenge, I do.

Especially with a Halloween theme.

Join the Lost Coast Designs and carmens Veranda Halloween challenge and you might win a prize.

Now my DT contribution.

I chose to make a Halloween spool.

I used these stamps from Lost Coast designs.

Goth shrine, 

Spiderwebs background, 

Long swirl, 

Dancing skeletons

 Checkerboard rustic border.

I also used a number of dies such as the fence and the bats.

And with a circle die with a scalloped edge I made the circles with green paper.

I stamped the circels with black ink and the Long swirl stamp.

I colored the Goth shrine with Tombow markers.

Then stamped the spiderwebs background with black ink on orange paper.

On a transparent sheet I stamped the dancing skeletons with stazon jet black.

Then I colored the skeletons with a white posca marker.

I colored the fence and the bats with tombow markers.

I decorated the rest with some moss, spider web, pumpkins, spiders and a skull.

I had a lot of fun making this Halloween spool.

 Now the LCD team would love to see your work on the Lost Coast Designs blog.

So maybe until next time. 

Click here for the challenge.

Yeah!!!!! Its 31 days of Halloween at Lost Coast Designs.

Hello all,

Do you also love Halloween?

I do, and Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda,

 have super cute Halloween rubber stamps.

So I started working with my stamps and ink.

This time a card with a lot of ink blending.

Stamps I have used.

Carmen's Veranda sentiment, Witches go riding.

LCD, Witch 2 and Grunge tree

What else I have used:

Versafine onyx black.

Stazon jet black

distressink,

Dusty concord

chipped sapphire

Seeds preserves

black kind

spiced marmalade

Mustard seed

crackling campfire

Distress Oxide Dusty Concord

Purple and black background cardstock

Stencil for the purple background

maskin tape

circle punch

White gel pen.

White pigment ink.

Die cut tag.

Halloween embellishments.

I started by stamping the witch with the stazon jet black.

Without masking the witch, I stamped the grunge tree over it.

I did this on purpose because I wanted to make it look,

 like the witch is flying behind the tree.

Now I mask the witch.

With an ink blending tool I made a large spot with musterd seed,

 on the spot where I want the moon.

There I stick the circle mask on the yellow spot 

and go over it again with the musterd seed ink blending tool.

I did it also in the right under corner.

     With a piece of torn paper I made some hills. 

On the left with crackling campfire,

 and on the right with spiced marmalade.

I also went over the Crackling campfire with a bit of seedles presurves.

With distress seedles preserves, chipped sapphire,dusty concord I further finished the sky.

I finished the edges with distress black soot.

I colored the witch in with some markers.

I have outlined the witch, the hills and the tree with a white gel pen, 

so it looks like the moon is reflecting light.

Put stars in the sky with the gel pen, also some shooting stars.

And some white dots on the tree trunks.

Using Colorbox white ink and the white gel pen,

 I applied some horizontal streaks like wisps of fog.

Now take the purple cardstock and the stencil.

With the distress oxide Dusty concord and a blending brush,

 we apply the pattern of the stencil.

Set it aside so that it can dry thoroughly.

Now the text label.

Die cut a tag/label.

                                     With an ink blending brush, apply distress musterd seed on top.

 And spiced marmalade on the outer edges.

Do the edge with distress black soot.

Stamp the text with Versafine onyx black.

Now assemble the card and glue some nice embellishments on it.

You must have allready made something fun for Halloween.

Then join our challenge, but read the rules first, so you avoid disappointment.

So join us and have chance to win some rubberstamps.

# 152 Things with wings challenge at Lost Coast designs.

 

Hello everyone,

Peacock feathers

Saltwater taffy

Watercolor markers

I started with Stazon Jet black.

I stamped the Praying angel with it.

I also stamped the checkered border and crows border with the Stazon jet black.

With the 4 colors Distress oxide and some water I made some ink spots on the empty spots.

I stamped the background with these five stamps from the brush strokes sheet.

All with the distress oxide colors.

With the crackle stamp and black stazon,

 i made some small prints in the empty spots of the paper.

With the long small stamp I stamped the edges with stazon jet black.

With the markers I colored the goth crow and the angel.

I hope you enjoyed it and that you also get to work on the challenge theme, "Things with wings".

You can also participate with other brands.

The team is looking forward to what you will make, so feel free to join us.

New challenge at Lost Coast Designs, "Things with wings".

 Today a new challenge starts at Lost Coast Designs. "Things with wings".
Well I think every stamper has a stamp with wings in it. 

So come join the challenge!
It doesn't matter which brand you use, you can still participate.
  And maybe you'll win new rubber stamps.
For my contribution I made a tag with the beautiful "Girl with wings" stamp from LCD.

And this is how I made it.
LCD, Girl with wings.
LCD, Long swirl.
LCD, Butterfly set.
Distress micro glaze.
Versmark and an embossing ink pen.
Gold embossing powder.
watercolor paper.
watercolor paint.

To start, take an ink blending tool with Distress micro glaze.

With this you apply it to the stamp.

Print it on watercolor paper.

You can clean your stamp with warm water and a little soap.

Choose your colours, 

I chose yellow, turquoise, light green and dark green.

But you can also take a different color combination.

Apply the paint with a wet brush, and the distress glaze acts as a resist.

Repeat until you are satisfied with the result.

Looks so beautiful.

Stamp with the Long swirl and versamark below and above the winged girl,

  and sprinkle the golden embossing powder over it.

Melt with the heat tool.

With the embossing ink pen you also do the

 outer edges of the tag with the gold embossing powder.

Repeat this process with the butterflies.

Cut them out and stick them on with raised tape.

Make it look as if they are flying away.

Now its up to you.

Make something with wings and join the challenge.

And maybe you will be the winner of some new stamps.

Please read the rules first.
