Hi there, today its a tag for the challenge at Lost coast Designs.

The stamps i used are:

Long swirl

Mini fish collage

Checkerboard rustic border

I made a background with a bubbles stencil.

I stamped the fish collage stamp with black stazon on it.

Then I drew a wobble line above the stamp with a waterproof fineliner.

Above that I stamped the swirl with black stazon.

And another wobble line drawn.

Above that I stamped the checkerboard.

And gave the stamp white squares with a white posca marker.

I stuck washi tape under the collage stamp.

And underneath that I stamped the checkerboard border again,

 and just like above I made the open blocks white with a posca marker.

With markers i colored the collage stamp.

Now about this beautiful collage stamp.

There are 8 new collage stamps on the LCD site.

There is also a nice new set of stamps called "Brush strokes".

A new challenge at lost coast designs blog, "Tag you're it".

 

Hello, today I have a vintage tag for the tag challenge.

I myself love this style, I like old stuff and romantic style.

The roses stamp and the label set is perfect for this vintage tag.

I'll explain how I made it.

This is what I used.

LCD set Labels

LCD Roses

LCD Ledger

Distress ink

Victorian velvet

Aged mahogany

Distress oxide

Bundled sage

Rustic wilderness

Stazon timber brown

Markers or pencils in the same colours.

Stencil ornament stijl 8 (Hobbyshop Sandra)

Crealies xxl tag nr.6

 

With victorian velvet I made some ink stains on the tag.

I applied ink to the stencil with Distress aged mahogany and sprayed it with a little bit of water.

You can print the stencil on the tag.

I did the same with the victorian velvet.

Then I added Aged mahogany here and there with an inkblender brush and the stencil.

Look what a beautiful background you get.

With the ledger stamp and Aged mahogany I placed a print here and there.

This will give your background more depth.

And with Rustic wilderness I stamped the roses on the right corner of the tag.

while the background is drying well, we continue with the Label and rose stamp.

We stamp these stamps with Stazon Timber brown.

I colored them with water based markers.

Cut them out, I cut the roses into pieces.

This way you can arrange the roses more easily around the label.

Stick the label on the tag with foam tape and do the same with the roses.

Hope you liked this tutorial,

 and join oure tag challenge at Lost Coast Designs and Carmen Veranda's stamps.

There is new rubber for the winner.

You can even join with other brands, you can read all about it in the rules.

And the text of the "Devil in disguise" stamp.

I also used a cobweb stencil from Dutch Doobadoo.

With the stencil and Adirondack colorwash Purple twilight,

 I sprayed in the top left corner and bottom right corner.

Looks black in the photo, but is a very deep dark purple.

Colored with pencils, and with a red posca I drew the horns on spike's head.

I cut a witch hat from black paper and glued it on Lucy's head.

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.

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

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.

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.
