31 Days of halloween day 23, And shake away!

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, Riet here with a new Halloween post. 


Here is a short video, as I wanted to show the movement within the frame.

I used the LCD stamps Cartoon witch and 
Further more,
Memento Grape jelly.
Black sharpie.
The background was created by coloring directly onto the stamp using:
 Ecoline markers 600 Green, 237 Deep Orange, 548 Blue violet.
Spray a very small amount of water onto it and press it down.
Be sure to use watercolor paper for this.
Allow it to dry thoroughly.
Mount it onto black cardstock.
Stamp the little cartoon witch using Memento Grape Jelly ink and cut her out.
Just color her in skintones.
Stick it onto the front of the frame.
And use a Sharpie for the word "BOO."
Well, this is super quick and easy, so it’s also perfect for beginners.

And what about you? 
Are you making something fun for the challenge?
Join in for a chance to win some stamps.
Hope to see you there.

31 Days of Halloween Day 22

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 - Darlene here with another make for the 31 days of Halloween


Using the Skull Crown Stamp and the 
Carmen Veranda saying

Used some DSP I had laying around for the background.  splattered it with
some black ink.

I embossed the Skull stamp onto blue cardstock then cut it all apart

I had a die cut in my stash so attached the skull head, added some
sparkle in those eyes.
Attached wings to the back


The saying was stamped then also cut up to layer onto the bits of
cheesecloth.

The inside of the card has the rest of the saying

Its always fun to fussy cut and reconstruct.

So be sure to enter your Halloween card in this months challenge
and maybe win some new stamps !!!
