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 to share a card created for November's Festive Fun Challenge 203 with three of the adorable gnomes from the Mini Gnomes 2 Rubber Stamp Sheet!
Using a stamping platform and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, the gnomes were stamped onto a white cardstock panel and onto repositionable sticker paper.
The sticker paper versions were fussy-cut and placed over their counterparts on the image panel as masks.
Removable Scotch Tape was placed horizontally across the image panel. Two colors of Distress Ink were sponged over the tape and the masked images to add color to the background.
Grey dye ink was sponged over a music stencil, the tape, and the masked gnomes to add visual and thematic interest to the background.
The removable tape was removed and a piece of acetate was placed over the top part of the image panel to protect it. The grey dye ink was sponged over the tape to ground the gnomes.
The masks were removed from the gnomes which were then colored with Copic markers. I was not happy with the color of the ground, so I used Copic markers over the dye ink to change the color and to add shadows.
The image panel was trimmed and edged with a grey Copic marker. It was then matted with red cardstock cut .25" larger.
Patterned paper was trimmed to 5.25" x 4", edged with a grey marker, and adhered to a red A2 card.
Red cardstock was cut a sentiment banner cutting die and adhered as shown. White cardstock was colored with green Copic markers then cut with a tiny bow cutting die. The green bows were adhered to the card as a finishing touch.
You still have more than a week to play along with us for November's Festive Fun Challenge 203 for the chance to win Lo$t Coa$t Cash.
