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 stamping friends, Aimee here! I have a simple Lemon/Lime color theme card for June's Challenge in the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity:

I used a Mother Goose People stamp and sentiment from Travel Quotes. Wouldn't flying on a goose be an exciting way to get around? Maybe a bit terrifying, too, haha. Follow along with this photo tutorial to see how I made this card:

There's still a few days left to submit your creation to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. My fingers are crossed you'll win this month's prize. Good luck! And happy stamping. 

Colour Challenge: Winged Girl

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 everyone! 

Today I would love to show you this terra cotta/turquoise card for our Colour Challege.

I made it with my favourite colour combination ánd one of my favourite stamps: Winged Girl. I also used Daisy Flourish and Misc. Words. 

I started with the two colours ink and water (Adirondack: Terra Cotta and Stream) and I stamped the images with StazOn ink- Jet Black and Blue Hawaii. For the finishing touches I used bleach, charcoal, yellow gel pen, colour pencils and glitter glue.

There's still time enough to choose one of the colour combinations and give it a try!

See you next time, hugs,

June Color Challenge 198 — A Turquoise and Terracotta Snarky Card!

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 June's Color Challenge 198 with the turquoise/terracotta color scheme and a bit of snark, courtesy of the Giveashitometer Sentiment Clear Stamp by Carmen's Veranda.

Here it is!

When I saw the Giveashitometer Sentiment Clear Stamp, I immediately thought that the Voltage Bigz Die would be perfect with it, so my first step was to cut and assemble the shitometer with terracotta and turquoise patterned papers, small alphabet cutting dies, and small rub-ons. 

I stamped the Giveashitometer Sentiment Clear Stamp with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with black detail embossing powder. 

I did some more paper layering and called it done! Every now and then it's fun to do a quick and easy card, especially when that card has a touch of snark to make one giggle. 

You still have a bit more than a week to participate in this month's challenge for the chance to win some Lost Coast Ca$h!

Hello Portal Peeps!!   Are you enjoying all the wonderful colour inspiration on the blog this month??  Two beautiful colour schemes to choose from and today I went with Terracotta and Turquoise.

I started with a pale turquoise patterned card panel and randomly stamped Lost Coast Designs large circle Shadow Frame with salty ocean distress ink.  I egded the panel with the same ink.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Pokey Cat on the card panel and then on white card using archival sepia ink.  I watercoloured the cat with rusty hinge distress ink and blue gel pen and fussy cut.  The sentiment is Carmen's Veranda Ask For Directions sentiment. 

Join the colour challenge fun.  Link up your stamped anythings featuring the colours LEMON AND LIME or TERRACOTTA AND TURQUOISE.  

Thanks for dropping by.
