#206 I love Frank and his bride, they are so cute.

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!

 Hi there, Riet here.

I absolutely love this couple.

And so perfect for Valentine's Day with a twist.

The Love stamp is in Dutch, but also available in English.

And this is how I made the card.

LCD Frank and bride of Frank.

CV Dictionary Liefde (dutch)

LCD Dictionary Love (english)

Daisy florish

Distressink

Villainous potion

Kitch flamingo

Barn door

Derwent inktense and Faber Castel skintones.

Finger sponges and stick sponge.

If you don't have a sponge stick you can also use a cotton swab.

I started by cutting out a paper heart to use as a mask.

Save the outer layer of the paper heart. 

We'll need it later.

Using a finger sponge and a kitsch flamingo, create strokes from the center outward.

These strokes should be about 2 cm long.

Repeat this process with Barn Door.

Keep the strokes a little shorter so the pink still shows through.

And repeat this again with villainous potion.

But leave about half a centimeter of space between the strokes.

Now use the outside of the paper heart as a mask 

and stamp with Villainous potion the dictionary love stamp.

Remove the paper heart and check that it is in the correct place.

Take the outer heart mask and place it neatly on the card.

Stamp the daisy florish with Distressink Barn door.

Stamp with Villainous potion 3 flowers, cut them out and glue them on.

Stamp Frank and his bride with ink on 3 and color them.

And cut them out.

And then I made a mistake.

When I cut out and glue stamps,

I always print the stamp on the card first and then glue the cut-out stamp on.

But it was getting late, and I was very tired.

Well, then you're not paying attention, and before I knew it, 

I've glued Frank and his bride on.

All in all, the card turned out quite nicely.

Will you join this fun challenge?

Good evening, Cathy here with a very late post for you. 

Stamps Used:
Roses

What I did first was I used a clean-up of my heart stencil that I used for another card. I then stamped Roses in black in in the center of it. I ripped the bottom and added to a red card base. 

Next, I took a strip of the heart paper that I had on my desk and layered it on black cardstock and added that to the card. 

Lastly, I die cut the work love from some black cardstock and glued it to the bottom of the card.

There is still time to join this fun challenge. Hope to see you there.

Hi - Darlene here with one of my 'Love and Hearts' make for this months challenge

Actually - there are two makes here hehehhee

These were actually quick and easy to make.

So the first one - with the red hearts

Has a belly band around it with the saying attached.

This saying is from Carmen Veranda's clear stamps

Using a stamping trick - I only stamped about 1/2 of what the original stamps says !!

So easy to do with a bit of scotch tape to block out what you don't want.

this is what I blocked out LOL

'then remove the dog hair from your mouth as you walk to the car'

So now what I did was make a nice mushy card hehehehe

The next card is one large heart - using the same saying

then on the inside using the Party Words

So be sure to enter your make this month and maybe win some new stamps !!

Greetings! It's Kathi here with a card created for February's Love and Hearts Challenge with the Little Angel Rubber Stamp by Carmen's Veranda. 

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Little Angel Rubber Stamp by Carmen's Veranda onto white cardstock. 

Use Copic markers to color the Little Angel. Use a clear glitter gel pen to add glitter to her wings. Use a white gel pen to add catchlights to her eyes. Fussy-cut the Little Angel, edge her with a black pen, and set her aside. 

Place a cloud stencil towards the top of a piece of white cardstock to create a cloudy sky background for the Little Angel. Brush pink dye ink over the top of the stencil onto the background panel. Rotate the stencil, move it downwards on the white cardstock panel, and brush the same pink ink over the top of the stencil onto the background panel. Repeat this process until your pink cloudy sky is complete. 

Place a heart stencil over the cloudy sky background panel. Use a smaller brush to randomly apply pink ink through the stencil's heart apertures onto the background panel.

When done, trim the background panel to 4" x 5.25" and edge with the pink ink.

Select appropriate stickers and use a sponge dauber to apply pink ink to them.

Adhere the background panel to a white A2 card. Adhere the Little Angel as shown. Adhere the sentiments to finish the card.

I hope that you take the opportunity to play along with our Love and Hearts Challenge 206 for the chance to win Lo$t Coa$t Ca$h!

LOVE-ly Lady
