31 Days of Halloween Day 28

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Boo! Aimee here. Halloween is the perfect season to watch scary movies or read creepy tales. Edgar Allen Poe is known for his spooky poems, one of which is The Raven. He writes: Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door. Quoth the Raven "Nevermore." 

Whether you're a fan of Edgar Allen Poe or not, I think we can agree that the MRaven1 stamp from Lost Coast Designs makes a great subject for a Halloween card. Follow along with these photos to see the steps on how it was created.

It's not too late to join in the Halloween fun! Stamp something spooky and submit it to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity for your chance to win a prize. You have until midnight on October 31 to get your entry in place.

31 Days of Halloween Day 27

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

She's back, Yep, Darlene here with my Little Gnome Witch make !!!

What is Halloween without a Witch???

So with this card I stamped the background with Tree Branches background stamp.

Then I inked a nice orange moon for the back ground.

The Gnome Witch on a Broom was embossed and fussy cut out.

Did put a wee bit of sparkle on the broom and hat.

The saying has a bit of cheesecloth in behind for some texture.

Almost coming to the end of the month.

Be sure to get your make into  the Challenge 

31 Days of Halloween Day 26!

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Greetings! You've got Kathi here today to share a card created for our 31 Days of Halloween Challenge! Can you believe that it's day 26 already and that we have less than a week before the big day?

My card features the Edgar Allen Poe Rubber Stamp by Carmen's Veranda. 

Here's the card!

Tuxedo Black Memento was used to stamp Edgar Allen Poe twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable label paper.

Copic markers were used to color Poe on the image panel. The sticker paper version of Poe was fussy-cut and placed over his colorful counterpart on the image panel as a mask. 

Lost Shadow, Milled Lavender, and Seedless Preserves Distress ink were sponged over the masked image onto the panel to create a background.

Nocturne VersaMark Clair Ink was sponged over the "Nevermore" Stencil onto the bottom of the image panel. 

I found a stencil with splats in my stencil stash and randomly sponged more black ink over it to add splotches and splats to the background.

The masks was lifted, the image panel was trimmed, edged with black ink, and adhered to a black 5" x 7" card. 

Since time is ticking away, just like a pendulum, you should gather your stamps, get inky, and play along with our 31 Days of Halloween Challenge!

Thanks for visiting today!

Goodmorning, Cathy here with a Halloween card for you.

                                                               

                                                                        Stamps Used:

                                                            Lost Coast Designs Spiderwebs background

                                                             Carmen's Veranda Pumpkin 

I started by stamping the Spiderwebs background on some pattern paper and cut out. I then stamped the Pumpkin on some orange cardstock and heat embossed it with black.

I colored it with copic markers and cut out. I added the whole thing on a black card base and added hocus pocus to the top.

31 Days of Halloween Day 24

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!!  Gail here again today with some more inspiration for the 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  The team is sharing bootiful projects every day this month and we hope you will join the fun and link up your stamped anythings with a  halloween theme.   Doesn't have to be spooky or scary.  Anything that fits the season is good as long as you have used real rubber or clear stamps.  

Today I have used Lost Coast Designs TaDa Mouse and Large Tigger Shrine.

 

 

TaDa's got his wings!!!!

 

I started by stamping Large Tigger Shrine on some slightly lilac card using Memento London Fog ink.  Gorgeous detail on these rubber stamps.  I smudged the edges of the panel with shaded lilac distress ink and drew some of the colour towards the shrine using a water brush.  I smudged wilted violet distress ink on top of some of the shaded lilac to darken the edges and give more depth.

 

 

I gave some of the shrine a watercolour wash with pumice stone distresss ink and smudged the bottom of the panel with black soot distresss ink.  I stamped TaDa on white card, fussy cut him and added him over the art doll so it looked like he has wings.  To finish I stamped part of Carmen's Veranda Witches Go Riding on the upper part of the shrine and added a few die cut bats.  It's always fun to fly with friends bwahhhaaahahaaaa.
