A Meaningful Lie Detector

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 today with some seriously funny inspiration for the Make It Funny Challenge.

I used Lost Coast Designs Leaves Background with prickly pear distress ink.  The jury is out on whether the stamp or the ink pad is slightly contaminated with lingering autumn shades LOL.  Then I stamped Lost Coast Designs Face With Feathers and the Carmen's Veranda sentiment with black archival ink.  I tried colouring directly onto the panel with my gel pens, but it wasn't working, so I stamped the face on white card, coloured, fussy cut the bits and glued them in place.

Carmen's Veranda have so many funny, profound and meaningful sentiments do hop over and check them out.  New ones added regularly to the top of the page.

You have all month to share your funny stamped anythings. Please read the updated rules before entering. Real rubber or clear stamping and theme must be the focus of your project for a chance to win Lost Coast $$$$$'s.   We need at least 20 entries to award the prize.

Thanks for dropping by and don't forget to check out all the other lovely makes from the team.

Hi - Darlene here with my first post for the month of March challenge 

which the theme is 'Make it Funny'

I made a couple of items using this same image and words

the woman is Lost Coast Designs Head in Hands stamp and the saying from Carmen's Veranda

clear stamps

So, I made this post card, and yes, I have mailed it already to my sister LOL.

all done in black and white except the butterfly which I coloured in and

added a bit of sparkle to it

The edge designs were some rub ons I had laying around

This saying is so her !!!!

                               Next up I made a book mark - and this one is going to my daughter

                                     she reads a lot...

                                                                                      

Hope you enjoy this months challenge - I know that I and my team mates will keep you laughing all month !!!

Chocolate Lover

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 all, Aimee here. Fun fact about myself: I lived in Belgium for five years, and yes, I have eaten chocolate for breakfast more than once!

Follow along with the pictorial to see how I made this card using the Breakfast Chocolate sentiment from Carmen's Veranda and with the Pieces of Calligraphy and Brush Strokes stamps from Lost Coast Designs.

The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is hosting a "Make It Funny" Challenge for March. We'd love to see YOUR humorous creation! And hey, if you win the monthly prize, you can reward yourself with some extra chocolate.

Sky Pig

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!!   This month we are all about FUNNY here at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  Carmen's Veranda have the most wonderful funny sentiments, and along with Lost Coast Designs quirky images it's a winning combination.   I paired Lost Coast Designs Flying Pig 2 with one of my favouritest Carmen's Veranda sentiments for this card.

For the background I cut a scrap of paper into a cloudline shape and simply blended distress ink on my card base.  I stamped the sentiment directly onto the inked cardbase and then stamped the Flying Pig on a piece of card, coloured with distress markers, fussy cut and glued him in the sky.

 

You have all month to share your funny stamped anythings. Please read the updated rules before entering. Real rubber or clear stamping and theme must be the focus of your project for a chance to win Lost Coast $$$$$'s.   We need at least 20 entries to award the prize.
