Carmen Verandas clear stamp 

So the image is stamped onto kraft paper then coloured in white,

used a stencil for the background with a walnut distress ink colour

Layered onto some designer paper, some black threads in behind, mesh on corners

Magical shit to do

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!

Good morning, Cathy here with a fun card for you today.

Stamps Used:

Oz witch

Magical shit 

I first stamped the witch and then I colored it with copic markers.

Next, I stamped the saying on the top of the card. Lastly, I took a stencil that looks like a big swirl and used some blue and purple distress inks for the background.

Greetings! You've got Kathi here today with a slightly twisted off-color card created for March's Make It Funny Challenge 207. I used the Silhouette Lady with Umbrella Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs with the "Peace, Love, Light" Clear Stamp by Carmen's Veranda.

Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the Silhouette Lady with Umbrella Rubber Stamp onto a piece of patterned paper.

Use Purple Delight VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the "Peace, Love, Light" Clear Stamp to the right of the Silhouette Lady. Heat set the panel thoroughly, then use a cutting die to cut the image panel.

Create an A6 card from white cardstock. Sponge Purple Delight VersaFine Clair Ink onto the outside .5" perimeter of the card. Heat set.

Adhere the image panel die-cut to finish the card.

You still have a fortnight or so to enter this month's Make It Funny Challenge 207 for a chance to win a fabulous prize.

Hi there, Riet here.

Any stencil you like.

Derwent Inktense storm dust 2107.

Distress Oxide,

Saltwater taffy

Barn door.

Coloring pencils or markers.

Black fineliner.

Ruler.

I started making stripes with the Saltwater taffy.

Repeat with barn door and a little bit of hickory smoke.

Spray some water so that the colors blend a little.

Dry with heattool.

Using the gray Inktense pencil, draw the planks and nail heads.

Take a piece of paper and stamp the keyhole.

Mask the outside and stamp the lingerie lady.

Stamp the gnomes and color all.

Glue on the card.

With the Hickory smoke oxide and a stencil embellish the card.

Use the black fineliner to finish the card.

Whell that was fun to do.

 tag, or what ever you make.
